About the show
Mel Hudson presents a stand-up and theatre show about how attending a live music event at Crystal Palace Park Bowl changed her love life. In 2022 she had prepared herself to be a sexually redundant cat lady — then lockdown ended, the cat died and she attended a momentously revitalising musical event. Suddenly, men were not so paused. Presented by Blue Book Artist Management in association with MMBCreative, the show is performed at the Wee Room, runs for 60 minutes, and is for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets from £8.
Why see this show?
A very specific mid-life turning point — lockdown, the death of a cat, and a music event at Crystal Palace Park Bowl — told with the timing of a seasoned comedy performer. Personal and properly funny.
