Sue Perkins returns to the stage with her first full-length stand-up show in nearly twenty years, touring the UK.
Sue Perkins is coming to Milton Keynes Theatre on Sunday 17 January 2027, with The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins. It's her first full-length stand-up show in nearly twenty years, and she's billing it as a hilarious treatise on stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding.
Most of us will recognise her from the screen. She's been a constant on British TV for more than two decades, first as one half of the comedy duo Mel & Sue and later as a host on national staples like The Great British Bake Off and Just A Minute. Along the way she's picked up a fair few nicknames: Bake-Off Sue, Taskmaster Sue, and the Sue that gives you travel envy. This show takes her back to the stage, away from the hosting duties and the TV cameras, and puts her right in the spotlight on her own.
The material follows the strange, twisty journey of a life lived in the public eye, and it doesn't shy away from the awkward bits. She talks about accidental scandals and health-related plot twists, and the whole thing is built around those themes of stigma and humiliation she mentions in the title. It's a look at what happens when your private life becomes public property, told by someone who's spent twenty years at the centre of it.
