Join award-winning comedian and TV celebrity Jenny Eclair for Jokes, Jokes, Jokes live show in Derbyshire
Award-winning comedian Jenny Eclair is hot-footing it to Derbyshire with her new autobiographical show.
She is celebrating the release of her Jokes, Jokes, Jokes memoir with a live performance at Buxton Opera House on February 1.
Her riotous show covers her days at 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 and waitressing to becoming the first woman to win the Perrier Award 30 years ago, becoming a mum, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana.
Jenny invites you to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything.
Jokes, Jokes, Jokes follows hot on the heels of her previous live shows Sixty! (FFS) which were critically acclaimed and resulted in a twice extended UK tour. Jenny said: “I’m delighted to announce that I shall be dragging my old carcass back on the road with a brand new show.”
The 64-year-old comedian is 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 don’t know what a podcast is, a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing. She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series.
Jenny was a contestant on series 15 of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin off podcast Taskmaster: The People’s Podcast.
Her TV appearances include Loose Women, Pointless, Richard Osman’s House of Games, Celebrity Masterchef, The Apprentice: You’re Fired and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2010 in which she came third.
She has written seven novels, a collection of short stories and a number of non-fiction books.
