Sue Perkins is going back on the road for her first full-length stand-up tour in two decades. In this brand-new show, visiting over 40 British cities, she shares the unlikely happenings from a career in the spotlight.
What’s the fallout when your lumpy brain goes haywire on live TV? How do you convince the public you didn’t really fall onto that vacuum attachment? And when intimate photos get splashed over the internet, how do you switch the shame to dignity and joy?
The star of Bake-Off, Taskmaster and Just A Minute aims to deliver a hilarious treatise on stigma, humiliation, and misunderstanding.
Sue Perkins has been a prominent presence on TV and radio for over thirty years. Her career began in comedy in the early 1990s. She was president of the Cambridge Footlights Society and in 1991 started taking shows with Mel Giedroyc to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. That comedy partnership, forged in the sweaty basements of the fringe, endured and entertained audiences with hours of television, including seven series of The Great British Bake Off. Sue has returned to her stand-up roots for this touring show, which will visit over 40 British cities in January, February and March 2026.
