FANS of the late comedy genius Victoria Wood are in for a treat in Greenock next week.

Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood, comes to the Beacon Arts Centre on Thursday, October 17 at 7.30pm.

The show is written and performed by Paulus, known for The Cabaret Geek, BBC1’s All Together Now and King of Cabaret.

Directed by multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young, the show is filled with love, laughter and fabulous memories for Victoria Wood fans as well as being the ultimate ‘beginner’s guide’ for audiences new to her work.

Many of Victoria Wood’s best-loved songs through the decades are featured including It Would Never Have Worked, Reincarnation and, of course, the classic Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It), as well as some of her lesser-known and more poignant compositions.

The acclaimed pianist Michael Roulston (Fascinating Aida) joins Paulus on stage, proving what many have known for decades: that it takes two men to do the work of one woman – half as well!

Paulus said: “I’m thrilled that we can continue travelling the UK for another year, celebrating a lost, much-loved friend. There’s nothing I love more than meeting fellow fans of the unforgettable Victoria Wood, and introducing a new generation to her wit, wisdom and word-play.”
