Dawn French To Tell All In Australian Stage Show Tour

Comedy star Dawn French will bring her ’30 Million Minutes’ biography to the Australian stage in January.

“I’m sick with excitement about this solo tour,” Dawn said in a statement. “I am enjoying the fact that I can’t categorise exactly what it is, but it’s somewhere between a monologue, a play, and an autobiographical slide show with a few funnies thrown in. At last, I have had one of my three genie wishes granted, which is to work with Michael Grandage. The other two wishes are as yet unfulfilled. They are secret obviously, but suffice to say, one is about Barack Obama in Speedos. The other is about me in speedos, with cheesecake involved… Enough said.”

Dawn French has a bit part in ‘The Young Ones’ in the early 80s before grabbing her own show ‘French and Saunders’ with Jennifer Saunders. Her best known role was as Vicar Geraldine Granger in The Vicar of Dibley (1994).

Dawn French will tour Australia for Live Nation.
