One of the UK’s funniest women, Helen Lederer, is returning to the stage in her brand new show Why The Fuss?
by Newsdesk | 6th November 2013
Helen Lederer is instantly recognisable as one of Britain’s best-known comedy character actresses and known for her unique wide-eyed brand of wit and observational humour. Due to popular demand she has been invited back to St James’ Theatre to ask Why The Fuss?
Lederer is readying herself to tease out the meaning of life again with eminent star guests. 7 November sees a unique and classy all-female line-up. Helen welcomes talented singer, dancer, actress and one fifth of Girls Aloud, Kimberley Walsh, award-winning, wonderfully controversial journalist Suzanne Moore and very special feminist writer known for her sharp political commentary Yasmin Alibhai-Brown. Helen can barely sleep with excitement…
On 28 November Helen will welcome another line-up of top secret celebrity guests. The anticipation is palpable…
Together with the undoubted intelligence of the audience and Musical joy of DB Cohen Helen asks: What is happiness? Is there a point? What’s better, laughter or sex, and does anyone use side plates anymore?
‘A miracle of comic compression and control’ – Tony Partick, The Times
Lederer is almost as happy diving off a 3 metre board in a swim suit in front of the nation in ITV’s ‘Splash’ – although, if pushed, she admits she’d rather drink a small sauvignon and write comedy in the time she has left – either way, Helen refuses to grow old since she does not believe in boundaries or the use of discretion. Audience members of the WTF? show felt they were at a marvellous dinner party … but without the food.
Combining witty, observational stand-up comedy with her skills as an affable chat-show host and political inquiry, Helen’s timely show is the perfect reminder of just how brilliant a performer she is and how, as a woman ‘whose been round the block several times’ – she has a lot to say at a time when it needs saying. At last! Here is female intelligence wit and humour for an audience who wants it …
