Jenny Eclair 'Jokes, Jokes, Jokes' Live at Stamford Corn Exchange
Celebrating the launch of her memoir, comedian Jenny Eclair is touring the country with her new auto-biographical show.
The show talks about everything, 'from drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana!'
The show will take place at Stamford Corn Exchange Theatre on Thursday 20 November.
'No More Xmas Angst - an interactive workshop' at Rutland Nursery
The most wonderful time of the year can also be the most stressful time of the year, with LOTS of time with family, financial pressures, constant consumption and rushing around.
Join inner child healing experts Andrew Lynn and Lavinia Brown to learn how to ensure Christmas and New Year come back free of angst with this half-day interactive workshop.
This workshop is from 9.30am to 1pm on 22 November at The Loft, Rutland Nursery. Click here to find out more.
