New Tour For Victoria Wood Tribute Show

New Tour for Victoria Wood Tribute Show

Nostalgic musical comedy Looking for Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood is returning for an autumn tour, having sold out across the country for the last five years. This tribute show brings to life the late national treasure Victoria Wood in a heartfelt homage to her humour and legacy. Looking For Me Friend invites devoted fans to relive Wood’s comedic and musical genius while showcasing her mastery to those who aren’t so familiar.

Warming audiences’ hearts is writer and performer Paulus the Cabaret Geek (All Together Now, BBC One) who intertwines his own 1980s childhood memories with  Wood’s work and the touching impact she left on fans and friends. He is joined by the talented Michael Roulston (Fascinating Aïda; Julie, Madly, Deeply; Jess Robinson) on piano who helps bring to life Wood’s beloved tunes including the iconic Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It) and the classic It Would Never Have Worked.

Looking For Me Friend is directed by Sarah-Louise Young (An Evening Without Kate Bush; Fascinating Aïda; Julie, Madly, Deeply) and aims to capture the lightness and darkness of Wood’s work.

After five years on tour celebrating the brilliance of Wood with audiences across the country, this is the penultimate tour. Next year, 2026, will see the tenth anniversary of the devastating loss of Victoria Wood and in line with this, Looking For Me Friend will be closing the curtains for the final time with a special Spring tour.

Writer and performer Paulus the Cabaret Geek comments: "During more than 5 years touring Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood, I have had the honour of meeting her siblings, school-chums and famous work colleagues as well as countless Traycloths like Michael  and I, keen to spend time remembering our missing ‘friend’. With the 10th anniversary of the loss of one of the UK’s most celebrated comics approaching in Spring 2026, Looking For Me Friend is planning a last hurrah. This will be an extra special tour, after which I will finally hang up the beret and finish the crossword in the Woman’s Weekly (for now!). Until then, there’s many more Woodies out there to celebrate with, and we can’t wait to meet them!"
