Georgie Jones: More Ups Than Downs

Georgie Jones brings her new show, More Ups Than Downs, to Norwich Theatre Playhouse on Thursday 25 March 2027. It's a bit of a hybrid evening — she mixes spoken word, stand-up and what she calls 'emotional oversharing', so it sits somewhere between a comedy set and a live storytelling night.

The whole thing is built around a simple, self-described 'scientific' way of sorting her life into two categories: Ups and Downs. Over the course of the show, she works through the ups, the downs, and the ups that eventually turn into downs. It's a good way of framing a life, and the show follows that thread through a fair few stories. She's been praised for her 'formidable stage presence and compelling way with words', and that comes through in the way she handles the material — it's as much about the storytelling as it is about the punchlines.

What you'll get is a mix of good stories, bad decisions and the stubborn, hopeful idea that with a bit of luck and a handful of good people, you might just end up with more ups than downs. It's an evening that leans into the messy side of things, so if you're into stand-up that doesn't shy away from the personal, this is right up that alley. The show runs for about two hours with an interval, and it's recommended for ages 14 and over.

Tickets start from £17.88, though availability is limited, so it's worth booking sooner rather than later. The show starts at 7:30pm at the Playhouse on St Georges Street.
