“The most feel-good show in town” (Daily Mail) has served up nostalgia, music and laughter at Edinburgh Fringe, sold out venues across the UK and had the seal of approval from Victoria’s colleagues, school-chums and fans.
Written and performed by the star of BBC1’s All Together Now, Paulus The Cabaret Geek, with accompanist Michael Roulston* of Fascinating Aïda on piano and directed by multi-award-winning cabaret practitioner Sarah-Louise Young, Looking For Me Friend is a funny and touching musical tribute to a much-loved and sorely missed national treasure.
This show is for those who loved Vic; those who speak her language; those who perhaps don’t quite “fit” life’s traditional boxes and for those who simply want to relish her breathtaking wizardry with words. As well as a celebration for fans of Victoria, it is also the ultimate beginner’s guide for those who have yet to discover her. In telling Victoria’s story, Paulus unfolds his own: a relatable story of a 1970s childhood, a life upon which Victoria made a huge impact, and what it really means to find your tribe.
