THEATRE REVIEW: WTF! With Helen Lederer, St. James’s Theatre, London

<p>We must point out that Helen Lederer is amazing. There you go. End of review.</p> <p>By Jake | 8th November 2013</p><p>★★★★★</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4601379231.jpg" width="460" height="452" alt="Helen Lederer, Why The Fuss | Photo Matt Crockett" title="Helen Lederer, Why The Fuss | Photo Matt Crockett"/></p> <p></p><p>We’re sitting in the packed out studio theatre in Victoria, London, when the, zesty, energetic, self-effacing Lederer walks out to rapturous applause, looking amazing we must add. </p><p></p><p>Her new show WTF! is a hilarious - part stand-up part chat show, where she delves into the nooks and crannies of celebrity’s lives. </p><p></p><p>Sitting with Lederer this evening in the first half is the gorgeous Kimberley Walsh, 1/5 of the super girl group Girls Aloud, who is probed and prodded, by a genuinely interested Lederer, who has clearly done her research. Walsh quips, ‘Gosh you’ve really read the book, I’ve never had an interview this good…’</p><p></p><p>In the second half she is joined by columnist heavyweights Yasmin Alibhai Brown and Suzanne Moore. Who equally shine in their roles as interviewees, particularly Alibhai-Brown who throws herself into Lederer’s wonderful format. </p><p></p><p>If you’re looking for a Paxman or Frost type interrogation, you’re probably in the wrong theatre, but if you’re looking for a relaxed, irreverent, very Channel 4 and slightly odd cross examination and dissemination of a celeb then WTF! Is the show for you.</p><p></p><p>Helen Lederer returns to the studio theatre at St. James’s Theatre in Victoria on the 28th November.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Read our <a href="http://www.thegayuk.com/magazine/4574334751/INTERVIEW-Helen-Lederer/6914529">interview with Helen Lederer</a></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>
