THE GUILTY FEMINIST: LIVE to Tour the UK in 2020

The Guilty Feminist podcast has become a comedy phenomenon with over 70 million downloads since it launched in late 2015, and following a huge tour in 2019, they are delighted to announce a brand new UK tour between May and June 2020. The 26 date The Guilty Feminist: Live tour begins on Friday 1st May at London's Eventim Apollo, continuing until Sunday 7th June at Newcastle's Theatre Royal.

The Guilty Feminist podcast sees comedian Deborah Frances-White and her guests explore the noble goals of 21st century feminists whilst confessing the insecurities, hypocrisies and paradoxes which undermine those goals. Along with some of your favourite comedians, guests and musicians, Deborah will host this joyful celebration of how far we've come, and continue the conversation about what remains to be done. Some of the special guests confirmed so far include Felicity Ward, Bridget Christie, Jess Fostekew, Rosie Jones, Suzi Ruffell, Jayde Adams, Sindhu Vee and Jess Robinson providing the musical entertainment, plus many more and further names are still to be confirmed.

For this special touring version of the show, Deborah and her panel will be exploding beyond the confines of a podcast, with stand-up comedy, music, local guests and a few special surprises. These shows will NOT be released as podcasts, so the only way to see and hear everything they've got planned - and some things they can't predict - is to turn up and see the show live.

Expect laughs, excitement, tears and spectacle as only The Guilty Feminist can provide.

Deborah Frances-White says:

"I am as ever honoured, delighted and beside myself with excitement at the fizzingly talented women who have agreed to join us on stage and bring our anarchic brand of hilarity and feminism around the country. I look forward to meeting Guilty Feminist fans all over the UK who are our tribe and our army. They truly know how to bring a rock concert to a comedy show."

Tickets are on general now from www.guiltyfeminist.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
