Stand-up show by Miriam Margolyes, based on her new book, in which she mixes stories, musings and a Q&A guided by the alphabet.
Miriam Margolyes brings her stand-up show, Miriam's Full English LIVE, to the Princess Theatre on Wednesday 11 November, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm. It's a companion to her new hardcover book, which you can pick up at the venue on the night.
Margolyes is an Olivier and BAFTA award-winning actress, and most of us know her from scene-stealing roles in Harry Potter, The Age of Innocence, Romeo + Juliet and Blackadder. She's just as well known, though, for the unfiltered, potty-mouthed takes she gives in interviews. The show takes its title from the Full English breakfast—the joy of wildly different things piled together on one plate—which she describes as Britain's secret: not shutting things out, but welcoming more in.
Drawing on more than 80 years in the public eye, she lets the alphabet decide the course of the evening. That means the set mixes stage and screen tales with candid musings on the world and outrageous stories, alongside naughty confessions and a no-holds-barred Q&A. It's a long career to pull from, and the alphabet gives her a way to jump around rather than sticking to a straight timeline.
