Please do come for big laughs. You don't have to be a woman or a man to come to this but please wear clothes.

Barbara is appearing as part of South London stand up Rosie Wilby’s female performance showcase Femmes by the Thames. Femmes has been running every few months for the past two years at Royal Vauxhall Tavern to rave reviews - "A great night out" says Diva magazine - and rapt audiences, with guest acts including Pippa Evans, Lady Carol, Sarah Louise Young, Zoe Lyons and Shazia Mirza gracing the stage. However, the story started back in 2007 with a short monthly run on Battersea Barge. Following last year’s fabulous return to their original home as part of Wandsworth Arts Festival in May, they’re doing it again this year. Featuring …..
