About Pauline Eyre
Anyone For Tennis? is a stand-up storytelling show from comedian Pauline Eyre, who spent twenty years as a Wimbledon line judge. She spills the Pimms on tennis gossip from the fragrant royal box to the musty locker room, and reflects on why line judges are now out of the game entirely. Full of smashing stories and ace anecdotes, it is a personal love letter to the sport. Directed by Ben Van Der Velde, the show has been featured on BBC Radio 5 Live, Radio Wimbledon, NPR and ABC Australia.
Why see this show?
Twenty years on the line at Wimbledon is a genuinely unusual vantage point, and Eyre clearly has the storytelling skill to make the most of it. Warm, specific, and funny in the way that only real insider knowledge allows.
