Live Comedy
Jenny Eclair: Jokes, Jokes Jokes Live!
In celebration of her recently revealed memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist, and professional show-off Jenny Eclair is embarking on a nationwide tour with her brand-new autobiographical show Jokes, Jokes, Jokes Live!
From drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana! Still gigging to sell-out crowds forty years later, Jenny invites you to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything. Warning, punk poetry, animal impressions and baritone nursery rhyme singing may feature.
Jenny says, "I'm delighted to announce that I shall be dragging my old carcass back on the road with a brand new show, and hopefully finding that cardigan I left in Toddington Service station last year."
