THE term ‘legend’ might well be over used, but in the case of comedienne, singer and actress Pauline Daniels, a better descriptive is hard to think of.
For over fifty years the Birkenhead-born entertainer has been keeping audiences enthralled, delighting those who come to her shows on a regular basis.
Now, as a part of the 2023 Liverpool Theatre Festival, Pauline will be bringing her One Woman show – Get Me Before The Crematorium Does – to St. Luke’s ‘Bombed Out’ Church on Thursday (July 27) at 7.30pm.
"The show is basically Pauline Daniels Unzipped," Pauline said.
"It looks back on my career and touches on Chicago and when I was in The West End.
"It comes up to Twopence To Cross The Mersey and all points in between. It's basically a trip along my life, really, with a load of gags and anecdotes and a few songs along the way.
"It might be a bit of a dark title, but it’s quite funny.
"It’s not the title the show started out with either. Originally I was due to go out with my Where’s My Bloody Pension? tour, before the pandemic forced everyone into lockdown.
"During that time, of course, I started to get my bloody pension so had to change the name of the show. Unlike the pension, though, the crematorium hasn’t got me … yet."
Pauline has been touring this show since lockdown was lifted, around the country near and far, to packed houses.
She said: "It’s been brilliant and I’ve just discovered that the show booked into The Royal Court Studio in Liverpool for November has sold out already!
"I've got one booked in for The Brindley in Runcorn in November too. So when I was asked to do a show for The Liverpool Theatre Festival this year, I was made up to do it.
"This'll be my first time doing anything for the LTF, and working at St. Luke’s will be extra special, as I know what an atmosphere the place generates having watched several shows being put on there in the past.
"I'm really excited and I can’t wait for people to see the show there. I just hope the rain stays away, but even if it doesn’t I’ll just put my coat on. It’ll be fine!"
