The Rachel Parris Songbook

Rachel Parris brings The Rachel Parris Songbook to Northcott Theatre on Friday 13 November, as part of her UK tour. It's a bit of a career retrospective in song: she's gathered some of her favourite songs from the last fifteen years of her comedy career and paired them with brand new stand-up, all delivered with her usual wit and razor-sharp observations. And if you're the type who likes to join in, audiences are encouraged to sing along.

If the name is familiar but you can't quite place it, that's because Parris has been a constant presence on British panel shows for years. She's best known for The Mash Report, and you'll have seen her on Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, QI, Would I Lie To You and Live at The Apollo. She's also a regular on Radio 4's Just A Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, and a cast member and founder of the award-winning improv show Austentatious. The BAFTA nomination is there too, so she's not exactly a newcomer to the circuit.

The reviews have been strong. The Scotsman called it "classy, clever comedy – uproarious", and The Guardian described it as "tears of laughter... endearingly frank and funny". Between the songs and the new stand-up, it's a good look at where she's been over the last fifteen years, and the Exeter date is one stop on a wider tour around the UK.

It starts at 7:30 PM at the Northcott Theatre, and tickets are £18.50 to £23.50.
