Tiff Stevenson brings her critically acclaimed solo show Bombshell to Exeter

Tiff Stevenson brings her critically acclaimed 8th solo show Bombshell on tour across the UK in 2018.

Bombshell premiered at the Edinburgh Festival’s Gilded Balloon last August and is her most political show yet. The tour starts on 1 March and includes a performance at Exeter's Bike Shed Theatre on 18 March.

Some say she oscillates wildly between Sylvia Plath & Beyonce, “like Belva Lockwood fused with your drunken Aunt.” (Edinburgh 49+3) Tiff says she’s very very funny and a right old smarty-pants. She also says she’s very, very, very modest.

So the world is on fire, a misogynist egomaniac is in the White House dropping his own bombs, unfortunately not metaphorical. Tiff came on her period the day the Trump presidency was announced, she can’t help thinking the two are linked… a big kick in the ovaries. Feminists are marching, Meninists are complaining, and somehow Piers Morgan still has a career.

Bombshell has turned out to be right on the zeitgeist with material around consent, how to complement women, and how Tiff might actually be synchronising with the apocalypse. She also tackles the increasing threat to reproductive rights, Creationists, and how Theresa May has ruined leopard print forever.  In Bombshell Tiff ponders the knots the Left have tied themselves in and whether feeling politically adrift means she might have found herself bang in the centre, which according to Ayn Rand, is the evilest of all positions.

With the doomsday clock approaching midnight it’s time to embrace the blitz spirit and get ready for some BOMBSHELLS!!

It’s been an amazing 18 months for Tiff.  She returned for the 3rd series of the BAFTA winning People Just Do Nothing in her regular role as Tanya.

She has also been interviewed by Total Politics Magazine and written for a plethora of broadsheet papers across the globe. She is currently considering book offers for Bridget Trump.

This March Tiff’s pro-choice piece for The Guardian’s “A moment that changed me” received an overwhelming response online and received coverage in the Ireland, US & Australian media.  For International Women’s Day she hosted a viral video for BBC online, which was the most viewed item on their landing page.

2016 was an absolute belter too with Tiff cementing her reputation as a force to be reckoned with in stand up. With appearances at Cat Laughs Comedy Festival, Kilkenny, How The Light Gets In Festival and Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival.. At JFL Festival she performed at the Brit-ish showcase and opened for Kathleen Madigan along with Lewis Black. She was shortlisted (No 6) for Dave’s Funniest Joke of The Fringe.  Her 2015 Edinburgh Fringe show Mad Man received a slew of 4 and 5 star reviews, making it officially one of the top 25 best reviewed shows that year. Mad Man went on to tour nationally and was followed up with the, even more political, critically acclaimed Seven in 2016.
