Ever Wondered What Goes On in The Simpsons Writers’ Room?
If you’ve ever quoted a classic Simpsons line—and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?—you probably owe a laugh or two to Mike Reiss. As a longtime comedy producer and writer, Reiss has penned countless scripts for the iconic show, alongside a massive list of other hit American movies and TV series.
Just how good is his track record? Well, Entertainment Weekly famously dubbed Season 4 of The Simpsons “the greatest season of the greatest show in history.” That’s some serious bragging rights.
From Springfield to the Stage
While he’s spent a career making magic behind the scenes, Reiss is actually just as comfortable with a microphone in his hand. He’s been entertaining audiences across the US with his hilarious and fascinating lectures for years, and he’s even a regular guest speaker aboard luxury cruise ships like Cunard’s QM2.
Now, for the first time, he’s finally crossing the pond.
This summer, Reiss is making his highly anticipated UK debut. He’s hitting the road with ‘Secrets of The Simpsons’, bringing a massive dose of comedy history to fans in London, Stockport, Birmingham, and Brighton.
What’s on the Itinerary?
If you’re expecting a dry lecture, think again. The two-hour show is designed to give fans a genuine, behind-the-scenes look at how the world’s favorite animated family came to life.
The inside scoop: The evening includes an interval (perfect for a quick drink run) and wraps up with a live Q&A session.
