Paulus has extended his tour of Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood and will be returning to Wimbledon this month.
His nostalgic musical celebration of the genius of this national treasure is being performed in the Studio at the New Wimbledon Theatre from 11 – 13 May.
Performed and written by the star of BBC1’s ‘All Together Now’, Paulus The Cabaret Geek, with accompanist Michael Roulston* (Fascinating Aïda), and directed by multi-award winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young, the show features a whistle-stop tour of 21 of
Victoria’s best-loved songs, including the ‘Ballad of Barry & Freda’ and the classic ‘It Would Never Have Worked’.
As well as being a trip down memory lane for confirmed Victoria Wood fans, the show is the ultimate ‘beginner’s guide’ for audiences new to her work.
It has been performed across the UK since 2020 and has received a seal of approval from Victoria’s former colleagues.
