In celebration of the release of her hilarious memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist, and professional show-off Jenny Eclair comes to Stafford with a brand-new autobiographical show.
From 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, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana!
Still gigging to sell-out crowds forty years later, Jenny invites you to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything.
Warning, punk poetry, animal impressions and baritone nursery rhyme singing may feature.
Back by popular demand

AN EVENING WITH ENGLAND’S HAT TRICK HERO, WORLD CUP WINNER
SIR GEOFF HURST
This will be something very special – Sir Geoff comes to the Gatehouse Theatre in 2025 for one final farewell tour.
The last surving member of the 1966 World Cup winning team will tell all about his illustrious England, West Ham, Stoke City and yes – even his West Brom and Telford United – career.
There’ll also be a rare cricket mention, given that he once played for Essex back in 1962.
There’ll be FA Cup glory, early European nights, turning down Matt Busby at Manchester United and how he tamed Stoke’s notorious Alan Hudson in the1970s.
The second half will be a question & answer session with the audience – the gloves are off, ask anything.
Expect a glorious night of football nostalgia from a legend who has sadly become the last man standing of the Boys of ’66.
VIP ticket holders will have a chance to meet Sir Geoff and have a photograph with him as well as receive an autograph per person.
