Phoebe Waller-Bridge to hit the West End this summer

Flebag's return to the stage has sold out in less than an hour.

Earlier today it was annoucned that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is to perform the original version of the BBC comedy on stage for the last time, in a four-week West End run.

The  one-woman play  will run at Wyndham’s Theatre from August 20 to September 14 – but demand sent the ticketing website into meltdown, esepcially given that a  quarter of the seats were priced £25 or less.

Fleabag originally previewed at Soho Theatre ahead of  its Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2013, before returning to the London theatre and then touring the UK, South Korea and Australia

A statement from Soho Theatre and co-producers  Annapurna Theatre said: "It’s a privilege to have contributed to the journey of Fleabag with Phoebe thus far and we couldn’t be more pleased the show is returning home to London.’
