Myra DuBois: Be Well

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

With her passion for compassion and flair for giving care, the “bust a gut funny” (Graham Norton) Myra DuBois calls out to the disadvantaged, downtrodden and tyrannised of the world with her manifesto for mental health: AdMyrism! But are you ready to receive the call? Fresh from a barnstorming UK tour in 2023, where she left audiences in physical pain from laughter with her ‘take no prisoners’ brand of rapid-fire comedy; the “acid-tongued, funny to the bone” (Time Out) Myra DuBois is back, to lay her healing hands on the masses in this: her wellness sermon. As seen on House of Games (BBC2), The Weakest Link (BBC1), The John Bishop Show (BBC1), Pointless Celebrities (BBC), Queens For The Night (ITV), and the major motion picture Everyone’s Talking About Jamie (Amazon Prime).
