Jenny Eclair: Eclairious

Event Date: 
11/07/2013 - 8:00pm
Venue: 
Exeter Phoenix

Welcome to Jenny Eclair’s new stand-up show. After thirty years in the business she should vaguely know what she’s doing? Professional Grumpy Old Woman, writer and panto star; Eclair has been round the block that many times she’s lost count.

Touring as a stand-up gives Eclair enormous pleasure. It also gives her dreadful varicose veins, but most importantly it gives her partner (St Geof) a bit of a break.

Help him keep her out of the house, by supporting this show!
