Jenny Eclair and Judith Holder are to return to the stage with a new festive version of their hit podcast, Older and Wider. There will be a series of live matinee performances at the Leicester Square Theatre in the run up to Christmas, on Saturday 29th November, Sunday 7th December, Sunday 14thDecember and Sunday 21st December at 4pm.
Following their live debut in July 2024 which sold out and led to extra shows being added Jenny and Judith are back by popular demand to entertain their devoted OWLS (Older and Wider Listeners) with more daring stunts, ill-advised dance moves and more showing off than is medically good for either of them.
Partners in crime Jenny and Judith together weigh in at 27 stone with a veritable stash of awards and international TV and stage hits under their belts, including Grumpy Old Women. Their top rated and long running podcast Older and Wider has become a runaway hit with women of a certain age, and this live show will be an interactive Christmas extravaganza featuring games such as Christmas Mishap Bingo as well as the annual podcast quiz. Expect serious over-sharing, gossip, and spontaneous profanities.
Jenny said, “Judith put a gun to my head and forced me to agree to a short run of Xmas shows and to be honest, I can’t wait.”
Judith said, “Jenny continues to be a terrible influence on me, and any swearing or obscenity in the show is down to her.”
The internationally successful co-writers of Grumpy Old Women launched their podcast back in December 2018 and kept it going every week throughout lockdown. With over 300 episodes and 6 million downloads later, the podcast has gone from strength to strength picking up a loyal gang of OWLS (Older, Wider Listeners) along the way.
Every Friday, from South London (Jenny) and Oxfordshire (Judith) overshare, gossip and chat about their lives, tackling subjects such as, dry cracked heels, Judith’s handbag and liquorice addiction, Jenny’s alarming over-crowded fridge and their slightly competitive Nana commitments, (Judith wins, she scored twins). With regular favourites such as ‘Hypochondriacs Corner’ and ‘Taste Sensation of the Week’, the Older and Wider podcast has fast become a snort out loud sanity saver for like-minded women up and down the country and increasingly all over the world (true).
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 12th September here.
