Biography

Derren Brown originally planned to become a lawyer. He was studying law and German at Bristol University when he witnessed a hypnosis show by Martin Taylor. Ultimately, this was the stimulus that inspired him to choose a new career as a magician, hypnotist, and mentalist. Afterward, Derren Brown started performing stage shows at the university and close-up magic at local bars and restaurants.

Television Specials

In 2000, Derren launched his first show, Mind Control. It was an instant success: revolutionizing the art of mentalism to a whole new concept of exciting and popular entertainment. Having expanded the genre of magic, Derren’s name has become synonymous with the art of psychological manipulation. His television shows have garnered rave reviews and coveted awards including the BAFTA for Best Entertainment. His legendary specials include Russian Roulette, Seance, The Heist, Hero at 30,000 Feet, How to Predict the Lottery, and Apocalypse. Most recently in Derren Brown: The Push, he exposed the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance with extraordinary results.

The shows have garnered a record-breaking five Olivier Award nominations for Best Entertainment – Britain’s most prestigious honor for stage shows. Even more, he won twice. His first Olivier Award came for Something Wicked This Way Comes in 2006 his second for Svengali in 2012. This means Derren has had the largest number of nominations and wins for one-person shows in the history of the Awards. Additionally, his 2017 US debut show SECRET won the New York Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and returned for a sell-out run on Broadway in 2019.

Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine

Everyone says they want to be happy. But that's much more easily said than done. What does being happy actually mean? And how do you even know when you feel it?

In Happy Derren Brown explores changing concepts of happiness - from the surprisingly modern wisdom of the Stoics and Epicureans in classical times right up until today, when the self-help industry has attempted to claim happiness as its own. He shows how many of self-help’s suggested routes to happiness and success – such as positive thinking, self-belief and setting goals – can be disastrous to follow and, indeed, actually cause anxiety.

Happy aims to reclaim happiness and to enable us to appreciate the good things in life, in all their transient glory. By taking control of the stories we tell ourselves, by remembering that ‘everything’s fine’ even when it might not feel that way, we can allow ourselves to flourish and to live more happily.
