We are proud to present
Growing Old Disgracefully
Virginia Ironside's one woman show
At the Colombier Theatre
July 16, 2014 at 8.pm
Bar opens at 7.pm
“This doyenne of Fleet Street delivers her observations with precision, style and wit. Funny, sensible and smart... an absolute delight” The Scotsman
Virginia Ironside writes a regular column for the Independent Newspaper and the OIdieMagazine. Her latest comic novel is “No! I Don’t Need Reading Glasses!”
Her first book, Chelsea Bird, was published at the age of nineteen. During the 1960s she wrote a rock music column for the Daily Mail newspaper.
In her one-woman show she explains why unlimited free drugs, fun funerals, grandchildren and sex – or, even better, no sex – make growing old the best (and funniest) time of your life. Directed by Nigel Planer, this show was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in 2009.
“Her show is really funny. I urge you to see it”. Arthur Smith on Radio 4’s Loose Ends.
“Honest, irreverent, frank charm. Beautiful humour and perfect poise. This is a five-star show.” British Theatre Guide
