Sue Perkins brings her stand-up tour to the White Rock Theatre, sharing stories from behind the cameras about stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding.
Sue Perkins brings The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins to White Rock Theatre on Saturday 23 January 2027. It's a one-person show, and Perkins describes it as her first full-length stand-up show in nearly twenty years. If you've mostly known her from the screen, this is a different side of her: just her and a microphone on stage.
Most of us recognise her as 'Bake-Off' Sue, 'Taskmaster' Sue, or the Sue from Just A Minute — the one who gives you travel envy. The show is built from the unlikely happenings of a career spent in the spotlight, and it centres on stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding. She talks about what happens when your lumpy brain goes haywire on live television, and how to turn shame into dignity and joy when intimate photos are splashed across the internet. It's billed as a hilarious one-person show that shares stories from behind the cameras and leans into the surprises of stand-up Sue.
The Hastings date is part of a live comedy tour that runs from 14 January 2026 to 3 April 2027, taking in more than 40 British cities. It's a long run, so this is one of many stops on the way.
