Said and Dun
I only got into Karen Dunbar in the last couple of years after someone started sending me links of her TV stuff – including her brilliant, low-rent wine-bar karaoke versions of hits such as ‘Who Let The Dogs Out?’. But the Scottish comedian, actor and writer is a legend north of the border after rising to fame through the BBC series ‘Chewin’ the Fat’. That led on to her own BBC series ‘The Karen Dunbar Show’, which is stuffed full of her memorable characters. And all those characters appear to have found a new lease of life on the likes of TikTok recently, which have brought a whole new swathe of fans her way. Does TikTok beat seeing her in person though? Answer: No! DP
Karen Dunbar, Tuesday 19 November, Live Theatre, Newcastle, 7.30pm, £25 (£39 meet & greet), live.org.uk
