A statement from Dawn French:

“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 tw*ttery.
I thought I might tell some of these buttock-clenching embarrassing stories to give the audience a peek behind the scenes of my work life…
Roll up! Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total tw*t on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”
