Jenny Eclair: Jokes, Jokes, Jokes, Live!
31 October 2025 @ 7.30pm
About Jenny Eclair: Jokes, Jokes, Jokes, Live!
In celebration of the release of her hilarious memoir of the same name, comedian, novelist, and professional show-off Jenny Eclair comes to Oxford with a brand-new autobiographical show.
From drama school, (mostly drinking cider and eating sausage rolls), sleeping with men who looked like they lived under a carpet, punk poetry, anorexia, bedsit misery, waitressing and not really having a clue about anything, to being the first woman to win the Perrier Award, becoming a mother, author, grumpy old woman, podcaster and nana!
Still gigging to sell-out crowds forty years later, Jenny invites you to look back at what she can remember before she forgets everything. Warning, punk poetry, animal impressions, and baritone nursery rhyme singing may feature.
