Funny Women

If anyone has some tales to tell it’s Joanna Lumley. The Ab Fab star has announced her first ever live tour, It’s All About Me. Joanna will embark on a 30-date tour on the 6th October 2018 at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall.

The show will feature Joanna discussing her long and varied career, from Purdey to Patsy, including some stories never heard before! She will be joined on stage by friend and producer Clive Tulloh, who will ask Joanna questions submitted by the audience.

“The thought of this tour next year, travelling across the British Isles and Ireland, has completely taken over my waking hours. It’s utterly thrilling to start planning the stories I can tell, and the rapture (and gratitude, to be fair) with which I shall greet the audiences. Nothing like this has come my way before, and I may have to be dragged off with a hook at the end of each show. Oh people! This is especially for you from me, with masses of love. I think it will be fabulous.”
