STAND-UP comedian and Taskmaster champion Lou Sanders will be bringing her latest show to The Lighthouse in Poole next year.
Her biggest UK tour to date, No Kissing in the Bingo Hall, is her most personal show yet and is described as a “deep, dumb show for the masses.”
She is assuring audiences that, “just like Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, I’m going to do all my own jokes.”
Lou has featured on ITV’s Dancing on Ice this year, won series eight of Taskmaster in 2019 and has appeared on QI, Would I Lie to You?, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Live at the Apollo.
In 2018, her show Shame Pig was the joint winner of the Comedians’ Choice Award for Best Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Away from the stage, Lou published her debut book, the delightfully gritty memoir What’s That Lady Doing? False Starts and Happy Endings which she said, “seems to have connected with women over 35, alcoholics and other vulnerable cross sections of humanity.”
Delving into a rich variety of topics including her sexual harassment, overcoming shame, trauma, and discovering spirituality with her trademark humour, honesty and vulnerability, the book was described by The Guardian as “a moving, hilarious and generally astonishing memoir”, and made the top ten biographies on Audible.
Catch a performance of No Kissing in the Bingo Hall at The Lighthouse in Poole on April 25.
