In celebration of the release of her hilarious memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist and professional show-off Jenny Eclair comes to Aberdeen with a brand-new autobiographical show.
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 40 years later, Jenny invites people to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything.
Warning, punk poetry, animal impressions and baritone nursery rhyme singing may feature.
Her new show Jokes, Jokes, Jokes, Live! is coming to the Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 1 from 10am and will be available from www.aberdeenperformingarts.com or by calling 01224 641122.
Well known for her starring role on BBC1’s Grumpy Old Women which ran for three series and was then adapted into four live shows touring across the UK and Australia, all of which Jenny co-wrote and starred in.
Continuing her partnership with Judith Holder, producer of Grumpy Old Women, Jenny co-hosts the podcast Older and Wider, the podcast for people who do not know what a podcast is, a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing.
Jenny was a contestant on series 15 of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin off podcast Taskmaster: The People’s Podcast.
She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series.
Jenny is also a critically acclaimed author with seven novels, a collection of short stories and a number of non-fiction books under her belt, the latest being Older and Wider – A Survivor's Guide to the Menopause. Her memoir Jokes, Jokes, Jokes. is available for pre-order now
Promoter Doug Taylor of Mint of Montrose said: “We had so much fun on Jenny’s last sell-out visits to Aberdeen and Dundee, we’re delighted to be welcoming her back with her brand new tour.
"It’s sure to be another big laugh theatre night out that’s not to be missed."
