Younger than Madonna but eats crisps and likes wine, too young to die, but too old to stand near the edge in case she gets dizzy and falls over, professional Grumpy old woman Jenny Éclair has announced How to Be a Middle Aged Woman (Without Going Insane), a brand new show and tour which stops off at St George’s Hall’s Concert Room on Wednesday 9th November. You are most welcome to join her, just button your cardi up properly and wipe that lipstick off your teeth.

Tackling questions such as, is swearing better than crying, HRT or boxercise – you decide, Jenny takes to the stage to explore some of the b******s that surrounds the ageing process. Why are so many young people idiots, is Chardonnay medicinal and how many episodes of Bake Off does it take to lower your blood pressure? Watch a woman happy to have lost her dignity years ago, lob a few grenades back in the face of ageism. Semi –bearded and suffering from outbreaks of gout and hysteria, Jenny puts middle age under the microscope and decides whether to laugh, cry or buy a dachshund!

Jenny Éclair has been a stand-up comic since the last millennium: she was the first woman to win the coveted Perrier Award and hasn’t stopped banging on about it ever since. Apart from the stand-up she is an acclaimed writer (sometimes it’s nice to just sit down), her fourth book Moving was released in 2015 to critical acclaim and charted in the Sunday Times Best Seller List. Previously Jenny has co-written and starred in Grumpy Old Women Live 2: Chin Up Britain on Tour in London’s West End and has starred in a number of other West End productions including Steaming, Mum’s The Word and The Vagina Monologues.
