Dawn French

Due to extraordinary demand, Dawn French, the Queen of British comedy has added a second Brisbane show, when she returns to the stage with her one-woman stand-up show ‘Dawn French is a Huge Twat’, at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on May 17, 2023. 

Dawn French is a much-loved figure in Australia, having toured most recently in 2016 with her first solo stand-up show Thirty Million Minutes – performing a magnificent 38 shows across the country!

Discussing this new tour, French said, "This show is so named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate. There have  been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of twattery. I thought I might tell some of these buttock clenching embarrassing stories to give Australian audiences a peek behind the scenes of my work life…Roll up!"

Don't miss the opportunity to see the telly vicar lady be a total twat on stage, live in front of your very eyes and ears. Few people are as firmly ensconced in the British comedy firmament as Dawn French. As one half of the ground-breaking comedy duo French & Saunders (with Jennifer Saunders) she blazed a trail that shaped TV comedy through the 80s and 90s, spoofing everyone from Oasis to The Corrs,  and brilliantly sending up films such as Titanic and The Lord Of The Rings series.

In the early 90s, both French and Saunders forged separate but equally successful paths, creating two comedy institutions in the process. As Jennifer Saunders launched Absolutely Fabulous, Dawn French starred in multiple roles in the black comedy Murder Most Horrid, often playing both murderer and murdered in the same episode.

This was followed by the enormously popular Richard Curtis series The Vicar Of Dibley, which attracted over 12 million viewers to its series finale. Dawn is also a successful author, having written six best-selling books. Her latest book, The Twat Files, has just been published.

Tickets for the new show on May 17, 2024 go on sale on Wednesday, October 25 at 12pm. A special Live Nation presale runs from Tuesday, October 24 at 11am, for 24 hours.
