he works at the theatre, didn't he

This phrase is incorrect. The auxiliary verb 'did' is not used in the tag question form here.

Alternatives:

  • he works at the theatre, doesn't he?

he works at the theatre doesn't he

This phrase is incorrect. It is missing the auxiliary verb 'does' in the tag question form.
