Event information

Namaste Motherf*ckers is the new show from Cally Beaton (QI, Live at the Apollo) - a quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention – taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more. The show includes a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too).

Praise for Cally:

‘Spins tales like Aisling Bea, has the hair and strength of Pippi Longstocking, and the punk edge of Debbie Harry’ – Sally Phillips

‘Properly funny’ – Sandi Toksvig

‘Cally is a comedy queen – fiery, intelligent and totally original’ – Sara Pascoe

‘She’s sharp, straight-talking and the cool big sister I wish I’d had’ – Angela Barnes

‘I couldn’t find a single word to describe Cally so here are several: wry, warm, astute, hilarious, happifying, and – of course – utterly expialidocious.’ – Susie Dent
