Memories, mammaries, politics, and maybe a bit of filth is what you can expect when Miriam Margolyes comes to Sunderland this September (she’s also in Stockton and Darlington later in the year).

If you claim never to have heard Miriam Margolyes say something rude, then I put it to you that you’ve never heard Miriam Margolyes. And for her new show ‘Miriam’s Full English’ she will be turning her gimlet eye on our not-terribly United Kingdom. Heroes will be praised, villains will be put to the sword, and belly laughs will be guaranteed. And as part of the show, an audience Q&A will be unleashed with no questions off limits. Gulp.

Miriam’s Full English, Wednesday 30 September, Sunderland Empire, 7.30pm, £41.33, atgtickets.com/venues/sunderland-empire/whats-on (the show is also at Darlington Hippodrome on 18 November and Stockton Globe on 1 December)
