A show celebrating the music of the late Victoria Wood is set to come to a Cumbrian theatre.

Looking For Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood will come to The Beggar’s Theatre in Millom on Friday, October 4, at 8pm.

Written and performed by Paulus, also known as ‘The Cabaret Geek’, the show is part of a fifth anniversary autumn tour.

Directed by multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young, the show is filled with memories for Victoria Wood fans, as well as being a '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 the classic 'Ballad of Barry & Freda (Let’s Do It),' as well as some of her lesser-known compositions.

Acclaimed pianist Michael Roulston, known for his work with Fascinating Aida, joins Paulus on stage.

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."

Paulus is an entertainer and educator specialising in cabaret.
