Comedian and Peep Show actor Isy Suttie has announced her first tour in six years. The show, called Jackpot, examines whether Suttie’s sense of adventure has been compromised by settling down and having a family.
Suttie tweeted: “I’m going on tour this autumn with my brand new show Jackpot, which includes, amongst other things, my extensive experience with ouija boards and jumping off things I shouldn’t – dates and info here http://isysuttie.co.uk“
Show producers Headway Talent say: “Isy’s always searching for adventure in life, but now that she’s a mum with a partner who hates surprises, can she still find it? And why does she need it anyway?
“Ever since she can remember, she has been searching for ways to make her life more exciting: ouija boards, exploring derelict houses and jumping off things for a bet. She often meets others who share the same love of pushing the boundaries: the Welsh taxi driver who found a mischievous way of brightening up his day, and a neighbour who created a network of tunnels beneath his house just for the fun of it.
“Now, things have changed: she’s got children of her own and a partner who detests surprises [fellow stand-up Elis James].
“In her return to live stand-up, she asks whether it’s enough to try and find that buzz on mums’ weekends away or on family walks in the woods, and quite why she continues to hunt for it at all costs.”
Jackpot will kick off this August at London’s Soho Theatre and finish at Matlock Grand Pavilion in November.
