Mel Giedroyc has joined the cast of Darts Wives, a comedy which is the creation of duo (and sisters) Lauretta and Sharon Gavin (Gavin & Gavin). The show is due to get a work-in-progress performance this October following a period of development supported by PW Productions.
Giedroyc will play Trina, one of the D.W.A.G.S. - Darts Wives and Girlfriends – as well as the character Tel, who is a world championship level darts player from London.
Fierce, filthy and fabulous... meet the Darts Wives. Four ladies who will stop at nothing to make sure their man triumphs at the World Championships. From sexting to spray tans, these girls know all the tricks. Shameless meets Benidorm with a sprinkle of Abigail's Party.
Celebrating the camaraderie of the women behind the scenes, this raucous show exposes the boisterous cut throat shenanigans leading up to the Darts World Championships. If 4 women pretend to be 4 fellas talking about darts does it still pass the Bechdel Test?
Comedy double act the Gavins - sisters Lauretta and Sharon Gavin – penned this new comedy, which was performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014. Since then the script has visited a good plastic surgeon, so with the help of a few discreet fillers this sparkly new version struts to the Museum of Comedy for an exclusive preview on 9th October.
