2026 marks ten years since the death of the late, great Victoria Wood. So be amongst friends at “The most feel-good show in town” (Daily Mail) and join Paulus The Cabaret Geek (BBC1’s All Together Now) with Michael Roulston (Fascinating Aïda) on piano to celebrate her life.
Directed by the multi-award-winning Sarah-Louise Young (An Evening Without Kate Bush), Looking For Me Friend is filled with Victoria’s best-loved songs, including the iconic Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let’s Do It) and the classic It Would Never Have Worked. It has been welcomed by many of Victoria’s very own school-chums, family and colleagues.
Looking For Me Friend is for fans of Victoria and for those yet to discover her, to come together and relish her breathtaking wizardry with words. In telling Victoria’s story, Paulus unfolds his own. A relatable story of a 1970s childhood and what it really means to find your tribe.
Pair your stilettos with an oven glove, zip up your cocktail slacks and get booking!
