AWARD-WINNING comedian Bridget Christie brings her brand-new show to Cumbria this month.

The critically-acclaimed stand-up and writer has appeared in numerous TV and BBC Radio 4 programmes, including Room 101, Have I Got News For You, Loose Ends and The Unbelievable Truth.

On Wednesday April 26, she performs Because You Demanded It at the Brewery Arts Centre, in Kendal.

The people of the UK have voted to leave the EU, even though no-one had a plan for what would happen if it did. If you didn’t want to leave the EU, or you did, but now don’t, because you haven’t got any of the things you were promised, then this show will certainly speak to you.

If you did want to leave the EU, and still do, then you will still find it funny, but for different reasons, as you witness the liberal female comedian’s exasperated and despairing meltdown.

In 2013, Bridget won the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show with A Bic For Her. The show also won the 2014 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Best Comedy, the 2014 Chortle Award for Best Show and a 2014 Hospital 100 Club Award for Performance and Theatre.

The following year, she picked up a prestigious Rose D’Or International Broadcasting Award for Best Radio Comedy for her programme, Bridget Christie Minds the Gap, and her own weekly column in Guardian Weekend magazine was recently nominated for a 2016 Glamour Magazine award.

Doors for the show open at 7.45pm, and tickets are available from the Brewery Arts Centre box office.
