Stand-up show by Sue Perkins about stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding, drawing on her on-air mishaps and behind-the-scenes stories.
Sue Perkins brings her stand-up show The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins to the Belgrade Theatre on Wednesday 13 January 2027. It's built around stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding, and it draws a fair bit from her own on-air mishaps — like her pituitary gland going haywire on live TV and falling onto a hoover attachment while on air — alongside stories from behind the cameras.
Most of us know her as Bake-Off Sue, Taskmaster Sue, or Just A Minute Sue, and she's best known as one half of the double act Mel and Sue. Beyond the presenting, she won the BBC show Maestro in 2008, which landed her a conducting slot at The Last Night of the Proms, and she later collaborated with food critic Giles Coren on the Supersizers series. She also made the travel documentary The Mekong River with Sue Perkins and is a regular on Have I Got News For You, Just a Minute, QI and The News Quiz. The critics have been kind: The Telegraph called the show 'excellent', The Times 'heart-warming', and the Mail on Sunday 'intimate and raw'.
