Dawn French Is a Huge Tw*t

SINOPSIS

Live (almost) from London’s iconic Palladium theatre, one of the nation’s favourite comedy stars, Dawn French, is about to reveal (almost) all the most excruciating gaffes and howlers she’s made across her 40-year career as a comedian and actress. Dawn likes a laugh, and she likes it best of all when the laugh is on her. Her new one-woman show is more than just stand-up. This is the ultimate ‘Oh my God! You’ll never guess what Dawn did!’ show, as everyone’s favourite fictional lady vicar takes us through her career in comedy while laying bare imperfections through massive landmarks of her life. Playing to a full house at the Palladium, Dawn weaves together the highs and lows of her life through self-confessed stupid mistakes or misunderstandings. Packed with showbiz anecdotes and celebrity stories, from an epic fail in front of Sir Kenneth of the Branagh, to a toe-curling Abba audition for a once in a lifetime part in Mamma Mia, these excruciatingly buttock-clenching stories give the audience a peek behind the scenes of her glittering career in comedy. And even though this is a one-woman show, we also get to enjoy a treasure trove of classic clips from Dawn's 40 years in comedy. Featuring early performances on The Comic Strip to unforgettable French and Saunders sketches, as well as an abundance of personal, unseen photographs that take us on a journey through the life and times of this award-winning actor, best-selling novelist and all-round very funny lady.
