Michael Portillo joins the stage at De Montfort Hall in Leicester on 9 March 2027 to share funny, insightful, and poignant stories. Former Secretary of State, traveller and TV superstar will be the featured performer at the show. Tickets are available from £33.49 for this live appearance.
Secretary of State. Traveller. TV superstar. The inimitable Michael Portillo joins us live on stage to share funny, insightful, and poignant stories from his extraordinarily rich and varied life.
The son of a refugee who rose to become one of Britain's leading politicians and best loved broadcasters, Michael Portillo's life has been a game of two halves. As a statesman he served under Margaret Thatcher, ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party, and lost his seat in one of the most famous moments in British political history, only to become one of the nation's favourite broadcasters, sparring with Diane Abbott and Andrew O'Neill and enthralling millions of us with his travels on the world’s greatest railways.
