Miriam’s Full English LIVE

Miriam Margolyes OBE brings stories from her new book, candid confessions and an anything-goes Q&A to the stage in a frank, funny evening.

Following three bestselling memoirs and sold-out tours that left audiences in stitches, Britain's most outspoken national treasure is back on the road, and she is not holding back. Audiences can expect memories and mammaries, Arsenal and arseholes, politics, filth and everything in between.

In her new book, Miriam's Full English, she turns her documentary-maker's eye on her own backyard. After exploring the rest of the world through her much-loved BBC series, she is bringing her fearless wit to stages across these islands, including Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

It starts with the title. The joy of a Full English is the wildly different things piled together on one plate to make something delicious. That, the show suggests, is Britain's secret too: not shutting things out, but welcoming more in. Miriam Margolyes OBE sets out to celebrate the not-terribly united Kingdom in one show, with heroes and villains, belly laughs and sharp insights, outrageous surprises and, of course, lashings of… sauce.

The evening is presented in conversation, with stories from the new book, naughty confessions and a no-holds-barred Q&A where no question is off-limits.

At nearly 85, as Miriam puts it, "this old dyke can only go on so long."

Show information: Act 1 45 minutes, interval 20 minutes, Act 2 45 minutes.
