Maisie Adam: Whatsherface

Maisie Adam brings her new show Whatsherface to the Reading Concert Hall on Saturday 7 November. It's a brand-new hour, and the title comes from her best friend's mum, who described her at a wedding as 'the tall, chaotic one with the weird hair'.

Adam's a North Yorkshire native who first tried stand-up in October 2016, walking a full hour at her first ever gig. She didn't stay a beginner for long: by the end of the 2017 Edinburgh Fringe, she won the final of So You Think You're Funny, the UK's largest stand-up competition. She was only the fourth woman to do so in thirty years. Her debut show, Vague, sold out the Gilded Balloon and earned her a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

Since then, she's become a regular face on TV. You'll recognise her from Channel 4's Taskmaster, Sky's A League Of Their Own, and Amazon's Last One Laughing, and she's a regular on ITV's Soccer Aid for UNICEF. Critics have called her 'a complete comedy natural, currently at the top of her game'.

Whatsherface follows a highly acclaimed sellout tour, so this is a fresh run of new material. The show is at the Reading Concert Hall in the Town Hall on Blagrave Street, RG1 1QH. It starts at 7:30pm, with doors opening about half an hour before. Tickets are £28.50 for ages 16 and over.
