Theatre Royal Brighton
Join legendary DJ, producer and Brighton icon Norman Cook - AKA Fatboy Slim - for an intimate evening celebrating the launch of his debut book, It Ain't Over... 'Til the Fatboy Sings, published by Rocket 88 books.
After four decades of thrills, spills, beats and repeats, self-confessed hoarder Norman chronicles his extraordinary journey through personal photographs, memorabilia, objects, awards and art - all beautifully curated in a bold and vibrant coffee-table book.
This special one-night-only event promises candid conversation, untold stories and rare insights into the man behind some of dance music's most iconic tracks. From his indie days with Paul Heaton in The Housemartins, tripping through hip-hop and acid jazz with Beats International and Freakpower, to his global superstardom as Fatboy Slim.
Discover the stories behind the creative process that birthed generation-defining anthems like Praise You and Right Here, Right Now, and the journey that saw a Bromley boy become one of electronic music's most recognisable figures and Brighton's most beloved residents.
What was on the VHS that changed his life? How does a black and white photo connect him to a British Prime Minister? And which bedroom item was named after him?
All back to mine…
In the heart of Brighton's cultural quarter, another local icon, the historic Theatre Royal Brighton, provides an elegant backdrop for this unforgettable night. The perfect intimate setting for an exclusive afterparty to 40 years of Cook’s career, where he’ll wax lyrical with charismatic Brighton-based presenter Guy Lloyd.
Enjoy this rare opportunity to experience Fatboy Slim as you've never seen him before - out from behind the decks and sharing the stories, wit and wisdom that have fuelled a lifetime of musical innovation.
Then carry on the party at home by purchasing your own copy of the book, signed by the man himself, and flick through pages full of memories that’ll no doubt spark your own.
"This year I'll have been in showbiz for 40 years, and to celebrate that we thought we'd create a big book full of stuff which I've kept over the years. Having played many energetic sets in Brighton before, I’m really excited to appear in one of my favourite venues for something a little different this time. It’ll be nice to get up close and personal with the audience in a beautiful setting and to share some of my stories from what’s been a rollercoaster career; there’s a lot to unpack so strap yourselves in!” – Norman Cook
