Britain's What's On Event Guide
16 Postcodes
Twenty years, 16 Postcodes, one city. In her debut storytelling show, Jessica Regan (BBC, Channel 4, The Guilty Feminist) shares lessons lived and learned from a life in no particular order. Each show is drawn from true tales of love and landlords, of mice and men and more, told with help from the audience who will play their part in her odyssey as she moves North, South, East and West, finding out which is best. This is a journey through an impenetrable city with an all-too-open heart. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you’ll rent cos you can't afford to buy...
In 2018, Jessica Regan idly totted up all the places she’d lived in London and realised it was 16. Stuck in London in the pandemic, feeling disillusioned like so many, she started to explore her neighbourhood on foot, thinking of all the places she’d lived in London from the council flat block, the fancy west London period conversion, the friends’ interim sofa-beds, the green of Greenwich and the grey of Acton: how could one city hold so many different homes for one person While these different abodes reflected uncertainty and struggle, they also promised adventure and discovery; each postcode had held a defining experience in some shape or form – be it funny, sad, or dramatic.
