Jodie Comer 's one-woman play Prima Facie sparked a ticketing frenzy as the British star gears up for a UK and Ireland tour in 2026 . The Killing Eve star, 32, will take the award-winning production on the road, including a stop in her hometown of Liverpool. Comer first portrayed Tessa, a young barrister who defends men accused of rape until she is assaulted herself, in 2022 for her West End debut, later reprising the role on Broadway .
The play deals with issues of sexual assault within the judicial system – raising questions about consent and where the burden of proof lies. Fans eager to see Comer's return were left upset when general sale tickets launched on Thursday. Thousands found themselves stuck in long virtual queues, with many calling the process “impossible” after the site crashed.
Once back online, tickets sold out in just 15 minutes. Many took to X to voice their frustration, with one person calling it “one of the worst ticketing experiences I've ever had” while trying to secure Prima Facie tickets. “Public booking was sold out by 10.
05. It would appear that unless you are a member/ friend, there is virtually no chance of purchasing tickets,” another shared. “This doesn't feel very equitable.
” “Seems like the tens of thousands of people in the line for #primafacie tickets have managed to crash the Liverpool Playhouse's website Good luck everyone even though it seems like a lost cause at this point,” a disappointed tweeted. A third added: “.
