A celebration of the music of the late comedy genius Victoria Wood is coming to Alnwick Playhouse.

Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood, is written and performed by Paulus and directed by multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young.

Many of Victoria’s best-loved songs through the decades are featured in the nostalgic evening of entertainment including ‘It Would Never Have Worked’, ‘Reincarnation’ and, of course, the classic ‘Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It)’, as well as some of her lesser-known and more poignant compositions.

The show is filled with love, laughter and fabulous memories for Victoria Wood fans as well as a ‘beginner’s guide’ for audiences new to her work.

The acclaimed pianist Tom Guest joins Paulus on stage, proving what many have known for decades: that it takes two men to do the work of one woman – half as well!

It is on at Alnwick Playhouse on Friday, September 29 at 7.30pm.
