Dawn French announces a second leg of her UK tour

'I’m bringing my Twat to a theatre near you'

Dawn French has announced a second UK tour of her stand-up show, Dawn French Is A Huge Twat.

The comedian has announced dates in September, October and November next year, following the original 20-city run, which ended last month.

Her new dates include four nights in Truro’s Hall For Cornwall, after missing out on her home county in the initial run this year.

French said: ‘We grossly underestimated just how many glorious Twats are out there, wanting this show, so here I come, the second leg of the tour. Wooohooo! 

‘I couldn’t be more chuffed if I were a chough. So now, stop nagging me on social media about the fact we missed your town and get booking.  I’m bringing my Twat to a theatre near you, it’s futile to resist.

When the first leg of the tour was announced the Vicar of Dibley star said: ‘This show is so named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate.’

‘There have been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of twattery.

‘I thought I might tell some of these buttock clenching embarrassing stories to give the audience a peek behind the scenes of my work life… Roll up!  Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total twat on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.’

The show has won positive reviews, with  The Times saying: ‘It reminds us just how well French can hold a stage. A jolly show packed with celebrity anecdotes’ and The Guardian praising her ‘mini masterpieces of self-mockery’.

Dawn French Is A Huge Twat. is her first live work since 30 Million Minutes in 2014 - her first tour as a solo performer – which was later filmed for the BBC during its West End run. Director. Michael Grandage worked on both shows.

French is currently starring in Jack and the Beanstalk at the London Palladium, where she will return for four nights of the forthcoming tour.
