If you enjoy stories from the world of showbiz, laughing until tears roll down your face and the feeling of not quite knowing what’s going to happen next, then you’re in for a treat – Miriam Margolyes is heading on a tour of the UK and Ireland next year.
The BAFTA award-winning actor is perhaps equally beloved for her off-screen appearances as her on-screen ones. Margolyes started her acting career as a member of the infamous Cambridge Footlights while at university, whose other famous alumni include Hugh Laurie, Dame Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry.
Her career has spanned over four decades on stage and screen, where she’s played iconic roles like Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter series, the Nurse in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet and Madame Morrible in the original cast of the musical Wicked in the West End.
Over the past few years, Margolyes has become beloved not only for her acting, but for her frankness in interviews. While doing press for her last book on The Graham Norton Show, she famously said she’d only written it because she “was paid an enormous amount of money”. More recently, she hit the headlines for swearing live on air on Radio 4’s Today Programme.
This tour is to mark the release of a new book by Margolyes, Oh Miriam!, which contains stories about her life and work. The shows will be in conversation with Margolyes, and promise to be, in her signature style, delightfully hilarious and more than a bit outrageous.
Here are all the details on when Miriam Margolyes’s live tour is taking place, plus how to get tickets.
