Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle

24 Sept 2026

Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle

Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle combines Mitch's Scouse upbringing, his love of music, and a lifelong obsession with Liverpool's most famous sons in one show.

Mitch Benn was born in Liverpool in January 1970. Three months later the Beatles broke up. Coincidence? Yes.

More than 60 years on from the release of Please Please Me, Mitch once again explores the enduring legacy of the Fab Four and shamelessly milks his own (incredibly tenuous) connection to them.

Mitch Benn is the 37th Beatle is a glorious mix of spot-on Beatles parodies, trivia and an endearingly personal account of his own claim to the title of 'The Fifth Beatle'.
