An Homage to the late, great Victoria Wood
An “unmissable” show (Everything Theatre) has served up nostalgia, music and laughter at Edinburgh Fringe, sold-out venues across the UK and had the seal of approval from Victoria’s colleagues, school-chums and fans. Written and performed by star of BBC1’s All Together Now Paulus, Looking for Me Friend is a funny and touching musical tribute to a much-loved and sorely missed national treasure.
This show is for those who loved Vic; those who speak her language; those who perhaps don’t quite “fit” life’s traditional boxes and for those who simply want to relish her breath-taking wizardry with words.
In telling Victoria’s story, Paulus unfolds his own: a relatable story of a 1970s childhood, a life upon which Victoria made a huge impact, and what it really means to find your tribe.
Take a whistle-stop tour of some of Victoria’s best-loved songs, including the iconic Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It) and the classic It Would Never Have Worked. So, dust off your stilettos and your oven glove, and don’t forget the custard creams!
