BAFTA-nominated comedian and musician Rachel Parris returns to the stage with a show gathering her favourite comedy songs alongside new stand-up.
Rachel Parris brings The Rachel Parris Songbook to The Old Rep on Wednesday 4 November, 7.30pm. It's a show that gathers some of her favourite comedy songs from the last fifteen years alongside brand new stand-up, so you'll get the songs she's known for and the new material she's working on in one go. Fan favourites like 'Speedy Boarder', 'Girl With A Diamond Finger', 'Gym Go-er' and 'Hen Do On A Train' are on the setlist, delivered with her trademark wit and razor-sharp observations. Audiences are encouraged to sing along, and a cappella might even come into play.
Parris is a BAFTA-nominated comedian, musician, author and actor, best known for The Mash Report. She's appeared on Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, QI, Would I Lie To You and Live at The Apollo, and is a regular on Radio 4's Just A Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. She's also a founder and cast member of the award-winning improv show Austentatious.

Critics have called the show 'classy, clever comedy – uproarious' (The Scotsman) and 'tears of laughter... endearingly frank and funny' (The Guardian). The Birmingham date is part of a wider UK tour running from November 2026 through April 2027, so this is one of the first stops. It starts at 7.30pm at The Old Rep on Wednesday 4 November.
