The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

You may know her as Bake-Off Sue, Taskmaster Sue, Just A Minute Sue, or the Sue that gives you travel envy – but stand-up Sue is full of surprises. In this brand-new show, she shares the unlikely happenings from a career in the spotlight. What’s the fallout when your pituitary gland goes haywire on live TV?  How do you convince the public you didn’t really fall onto that hoover attachment? And when intimate photos get splashed all over the internet, how do you switch the shame to dignity and joy? In her first live show in over a decade, Sue delivers a hilarious treatise on stigma, humiliation, and misunderstanding.

Jim Davidson – Last Man Standing… Just!

The Old Savoy - The home of The Deco Theatre Abington Square, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 4AE

Jim Davidson Last Man Standing…Just! In the ever-evolving book of British comedy, Jim Davidson OBE remains a best-seller, an unapologetic voice still standing tall while others bow to the tide. Through decades of laughter, controversy, and cultural change, he’s held the line. And now, in 2025, he’s back with a brand-new tour ‘Last Man Standing…Just!’ and firing on all cylinders and refusing to be silenced. Despite the relentless efforts of a vocal woke minority to pen his final chapter, Jim’s story is far from over. Shadow-banned, de-platformed, and ‘cancelled’ more times than he can count, Davidson has turned adversity into ammunition, his live shows becoming safe havens for those who still believe in common sense, satire, and the best of British comedy. Jim’s 2025 UK tour, ‘The Next Chapter,’ proved that the appetite for unfiltered, grown-up laughter is alive and well, with the General receiving standing ovations from Glasgow to Southend from loyal and new fans alike, many who feel silenced themselves. Jim’s audience loyal packed venues across the UK, cheering not just the punchlines but the principles behind them now, as Britain stands at a cultural crossroads. Davidson returns to do what he does best: say what others are...
