Crawley, birthday
Wonderful steak lunch at Rowley’s in town and birthday treats followed by the loveliest gifts and more treats from the crew. Dressing room decked out with balloons etc, and some really touching prezzies. On top of that a zillion birthday wishes from Twitter. Lor’ Lu’mme. Best birthday ever. Rather sleepy though: wine and champagne and cake has me now dozing off into my steamer as I type.
One particularly impressive gift was this Derren Brown Enigma action figure, made by Jennie and Iain. Amazing! I do adore my group of friends. If it’s your birthday too, have a wonderful one.
Last night (Fri) was terrific: Thursday’s first half a little under-par mainly due to nervous volunteers. Which can’t be helped, and the second was much better. Tomorrow Buxton!
On the road again…
O.M.G. That is the coolesrt thing i’ve ever seen!!
I want one!!!

Happy Birthday. Good to hear you’ve had a great day so far.
You deserve it.
Love and kisses. Big hug xxx
the action figure is so cool 😀
Wow, love that doll! Want one! (bet you didn’t know there very nearly was a Lady Claire doll….I’ll let you ponder that one….. ;))
Well it seems you’ve been thoroughly spoilt, Mr Brown! And why not? It sounds lovely, you work so hard and deserve it all. Make the most of your last show in Crawley and watch those roads getting home!
Posted this earlier, but will post again….. 🙂
On this day in ‘71,
There was born a special one,
Tricks, illusions and magic did he
start performing for all the world to see.
And soon he was the absolute best
of magicians, he just whips the rest!
Take care,

Love it! Have an awesome birthday Derren x x x
That is seriously cool! I want one of those!! Glad you’ve had a wonderful birthday, Derren. XXXX
Cool. The action figure. He reminds me a bit of indian colleague I have to say, but that’s probably the distance. The little glass with orange juice or such.
Still, what is the word action standing for in action dolls. I’d call this a .. xxxxx doll. You may guess.
Dozing off in your steamer while typing. You are a man of many abilities. I feel so humble.
Now then, face out of that trendy bucket and get your ass on stage.
Right, off you go. I’ll try to shoot the channels back into my decoder. fucking canal digital .. I will need a new card probably .. the bastards, stole 3 channels from me, which I pay for. My favorite channels. Happy birthday brown.
I think you should release more of these, we would all like a little mini Derren on our shelves!
Just wanted to say that i thought thurs show was grt although they were nervous. Show was still spectacular. ending was the best….well worth coming from USA for it. thanks for being soo nice at the stage door to me and my sis (Dhivya). Glad u had a grt bday…happy bday again!!! 🙂
I shall join the myriad of other nice people in wishing you a very happy set of celebrations for this birthday! I hope that tonight’s show is extra special for all concerned and it will be equally pleasurable for the Bristol audience this coming Thursday!
Haha I want one. I must admit my last birthday was pretty special too…. I went to see Enigma in London!
Eep, I did try not to be nervous.
So happy you’ve had a wonderful birthday lovely Derren! 🙂
Enjoy the rest of the evening. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Glad you had a lovely day, Derren xoxox. I want one of those action figures!
How does one make an action figure??? They did a good job, considering they are not working for Mattel. ;p
Oh, I need that steamer too. Sore throat from hell!

Happy Birthday Derren. the action figure is great but the real thing would be better 🙂
Hope you have a great day! And I hope the audience all sing “Happy Birthday” for the encore!
Glad you had a Happy Birthday Derren…
Can you give details on the figure…as a collector of “certain” action figures, I’m always interested to know the details. More pics etc pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

The figure should be sold in Forbidden Planet! Chuffed for you that the day was so wonderful. All the best for the future.
Happy Fluffday you fabulous person!
I’ll be at Buxton tomorrow eeeeeeeeeeeeeep can’t wait! No sleep for me tonight!
Alternating between desperate to get onstage and terrified at the thought. Will be at the stage door afterwards, lets hope the rain holds off 🙂
Cat.
Happy Birthday Derren,
Really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night (Sunday) in Buxton as it was my birthday present that I got earlier this week.
XXX
Happy Birthday Derren!!
What a pity that I can’t watch ur show in the UK ! But how about you and ur crew coming to Hong Kong ( yesss that s where i live ) or somewhere in Asia coz you are famous here thanks for BBC channel showing ur shows every friday night! It will be a dream come true if you are going to have an Asia Tour! 🙂 Hope you will make it happen!
Love,
Liam xxx
Happy birthday Derren!
I hope you have a great day and the birthday fairy brings you everything you want. (Not that we believe in fairies)
Looking forward to seeing you in your “home” city of Bristol on 6th March. I’m sure you’ll be your usual genius self.
Happy Birthday Derren, hope ya had a good one. Bring on tues at the Liverpool Empire whooooooooo!!! xx
Congratulations and many happy returns to the best entertainer in the world!
BTW That action figure should be marketed in all the toy stores! This will be a hype! I can see the commercial in front of me already:
In a fast american voice: The Amazing Engima Derren Brown action figure comes with slate, chalk, and sponge balls. Wine glass, Bicycle Cards, Koran Medallion, Andy Nyman and Coops sold separately batteries are not included.
Ehm…. like the real one better;-)
Greetz, Suuz
Belated Happy Birthday Derren, great that you had a super day!
Hope the show is going well and is as popular as ever.

Hi Derren! Thursday show in Crawley was AMAZING, and it was also great to meet you outside at the backdoor entrance, you were surprisingly very down to earth and friendly! I am the girl who wrote your name on the dirt on the car saying Yasemin heart Derren haha. Hope you have a safe journey whereever you are travelling, and thank you for our photo, I will cherish it and probably show off with it to all my friends 😛
Your Truly Number 1 Fan (and yes I watched all your shows, read all books, blogs, and all…)
Yasemin
Happy Birthday for yesterday!! its my birthday tomorrow….i hope i get Derren Brown in a box too
x
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Sounds like you had a fantastic birthday. I too had a birthday recently that was full of surprises, thanks to my family – and one particularly pleasant surprise, thanks to my daughter Sarah.
I hope the tour continues to go from strength to strength.
Thanks!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! from your youngest fan (only turning fourteen this march). Completely wish I could go see one of your shows… but I probably won’t be able to go to one.. what i’ve been doing instead is staying up till 12am watching your repeats on the telly, and i hope that one day i can meet you- i’d rather meet you than zac efron or whatever. have a great tour – maybe i’ll see meet the crew and yourself one day!
Dare I say it, the action figure reminded me of a younger Eddie Izzard! Still, it’s the thought that counts 🙂
Is it just me or does that doll have an uncanny resembelance to Jez Quigley from Corrie back in the day?
Is there going to be a Coops Doll?
OMG!
I would so tackle someone over for that action figure,
HAHAAHHA
you should release those! i want one!
🙂
I’ve got your present here in Australia, and i’ll hold on to it until you come!
🙂
A belated happy birthday Derren – spending it with your true love: touring!
Hey Derren, Were you Actually in Crawley Town West Sussex?
I can’t believe you were in my town doing Egnima. and I didn’t know about it Rats!
I am such a huge Fan! (smiles)
