SHOWS
Tamar Broadbent: PLUS ONE
7.30pm, Sat 15 June
Capitol Theatre, Horsham
Photo credit: Steve Ullathorne
A brand-new cabaret from Stiles & Drewe award-winning singer-songwriter Tamar Broadbent (BBC Radio4, Boom Chicago) about fertility, fainting and the unforgiving feat of having to give up wine for nine months.
​
With songs like Judgy Baby, Don’t Get All My Bad Stuff and The Man with the Motile Sperm… Plus One is set to be a show filled with what Tamar’s audiences have grown to love: honest stories, lyrical laughs and a suitable dose of outrageousness. Join Tamar on the piano for an evening of melodic musings about the very normal and very insane experience of having a baby. As she contemplates her greatest fear (childbirth… followed closely by flesh-eating bacteria) and tries to prepare in ways other than just Googling tiny wellies, Tamar wonders how on earth you go about making a human when you’re not a totally qualified one yourself.
9.15pm, Tue 25 June
Live at Zedel, London

Tamar Broadbent Presents... STACEY SOLO
from Stacey Solo
A strong female lead (detective) faces the toughest case of her career in this comedy crime show by Tamar Broadbent (BBC Radio 4, Boom Chicago).
Inspired by all your favourite Netflix heroines, with an explosive score by John-Victor, this is an action-packed, utterly ridiculous show that asks ‘how many characters can one actor play?’ and ‘who promoted that kangaroo?'
A must-see for all crime drama fans this festival.
​
‘Hilarious! ‘A bustling and boisterous show that provides the sort of cathartic laughter needed in these still uncertain times.’’ ★★★★ London Theatre 1.
​
‘A good fun belter of a show - a real pick-me-up. Broadbent has presence and charisma to burn; she is compelling on stage’ ★★★★ Chortle.
from Best Life
Tamar Broadbent: Best Life
A musical cabaret from award-winning comedy songwriter Tamar Broadbent (BBC Radio 4, Boom Chicago).
​
Tamar’s busy trying to live her ‘best life’ – drinking wine, getting trapped in boob tubes and googling pictures of Tom Hardy with puppies. Featuring audio clips of her Grandma’s advice, Tamar explores what it means to be a young woman today in this musical storytelling show about ambition, anxiety and avocados!
​
After a smash hit run in Edinburgh, Best Life transferred to the SoHo Playhouse in New York and continues to serenade sailors with Virgin’s Voyages.
