View allAbout This Event
On 9 December 2026, Toby Hadoke will perform a special 20th anniversary show of his hit production Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf at 53Two in Manchester. This autobiographical comedy reflects on childhood, fatherhood, and the impact of Doctor Who, featuring updated commentary and insights. Ticket prices range from £13.20 to £16.50.
It has been 20 years since comedian, actor, XS Malarkey compere, and TV historian Toby Hadoke brought his hit show Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf to the Edinburgh Fringe (doesn't time fly?), and for one night only he's bringing it back, to 53two! Moths is a delightful autobiographical show, as much about childhood and fatherhood as it is a lovely letter to Doctor Who; after debuting at XS, it garnered a string of five star reviews at the Fringe, and went on to a national tour, West End run and BBC Radio adaptation before it's previous "last time ever" performance in 2013. This really might be the last chance to see it live, or at least until the 50th anniversary in 2056. A lot has changed in 20 years, so expect deviations, commentary, and plenty of sidenotes as Toby revisits his former self.
