Sue Perkins

Sue Perkins is coming to Scarborough Spa Theatre on Friday 5 March 2027. Most of us know her as 'Bake-Off' Sue, but that's just one of the names that stick: she's also 'Taskmaster' Sue, 'Just A Minute' Sue, and the Sue who gives you travel envy. She's an English broadcaster, comedian, actress, singer and writer who first made her name alongside Mel Giedroyc.

This show turns the camera round on her own career, gathering the funny stories from behind the scenes about stigma, humiliation and misunderstanding. She talks about her pituitary gland going haywire on live television, falling onto a hoover attachment and intimate photos splashed all over the internet. It's a look at the things that usually stay off-camera, told by the person who lived through them.

The show has been reviewed well, called 'excellent' by The Telegraph, 'heart-warming' by The Times and 'intimate and raw' by the Mail on Sunday. It's a bit of a departure from the polished TV persona, leaning into the messy bits of a long career in the public eye.

Doors open at 7.00pm, and the show starts at 7.30pm, with a running time of about one hour and 50 minutes including an interval. The venue is Scarborough Spa Theatre, South Bay, Scarborough, YO11 2HD. There's an age guidance of 16+.
