Theatre Gossip: Derren Brown barred from a Birmingham casino during UK Tour

Derren Brown was barred from a Birmingham casino on Saturday night and escorted from the premises after trying to play Blackjack. The Broadway Plaza Casino allowed Brown’s friends to play however the TV and stage star, in Birmingham performing his live show Infamous, was politely told he was barred from playing.

Derren said “I went in after the show and sat down to play blackjack. They were very nice, served me food, but they wouldn't let me play. So I watched the others for a bit and then left. I was escorted out by a member of staff and the manager. Over the years I’ve has been banned from playing at most of the UK’s casinos, so I wasn't unduly surprised”.

Derren Brown is currently touring with his stage show Infamous before transferring the production to the West End. The show will run at the Palace Theatre from 24th June until 17th August 2013. Click here to book tickets.
