What Wood Victoria Do?

What Wood Victoria Do? comes to The Albany Theatre on Sunday 25 April 2027, a new cabaret show from The Cabaret Geek celebrating the life and music of Victoria Wood. It's presented by The Cabaret Geek and directed by Sarah-Louise Young, and it's the latest from the team behind the Looking For... series, including Looking For Me Friend.

The show takes a deep dive into Wood's world, framed around what she might make of modern living — air fryers, The Repair Shop, K-pop, and demon hunters. It's carried by fresh tunes from The Victoria Wood Songbook, and it celebrates women who don't mince their words, navigating friendship and loss amongst tea towels and village halls. The critics have been warm to it: The Recs called it a show that "finds that sweet spot, where homage turns into truly honouring our hero," and Kate Copstick described it as a "practically and national institution."

It's a cabaret show, so it's as much about the songs as the storytelling. The whole thing is built around Wood's songs and the kind of sharp, observational comedy she was known for, and it's aimed at ages 10 and up. It's a single evening's work, not a full-blown production, so it's easy to fit in without needing a whole weekend.

It starts at 6:00pm at The Albany Theatre in Coventry, and runs for an hour and ten minutes. Tickets are £20 full price.
