CLARE’s brand new one-woman comedy stage show toured the theatres mentioned below in Spring 2011. There will be a re-tour of this show to more theatres in the future, dates to be announced in the next few months so keep an eye out for them on this web page.

Praise from audience members for Clare’s new show:

“Brilliant observational comedy.”

“I’ve been to all of Clare’s shows since 2003, and loved them all, but this is an absolute cracker – the best so far! The LGBT history segments are inspired.”

“What a perfect way Clare has of telling our history in a way that both entertains and educates. Fabulous!”

“If you haven’t met Clare Summerskill’s timeless classic character, Ange, now’s the time in this hilarious show.”

“Pathos and side-slapping humour in one great package. Loved it!”

All is finally explained and revealed by lesbian actress/singer/stand-up, CLARE SUMMERSKILL who,in this new show will take you through a fast-moving, song-singing, side-splitting, costume-changing evening of comedy and music.
