The Rachel Parris Songbook works by mixing that musical side of her work with the stand-up. The songs come from fifteen years of her career, so it's a bit of a retrospective of the music she's written for comedy, rather than a set of new tracks. The new stand-up sits alongside them, and the sing-along part means the audience gets involved rather than just watching from their seats. The Alban Arena recommends the show for ages 16 and over. It runs at The Alban Arena, Civic Centre, St Albans, AL1 3LD, on Saturday 27 March 2027, with the performance starting at 7.30pm.
