‘A lesbian Victoria Wood’ Woman’s Hour

In her brand-new one-woman show, Clare Summerskill attempts to explain the point of the perplexing sexual minority to which she belongs, asking why lesbians exist? Is it to ease the pressure on cat rescue centres? Is it to ensure that Shibden Hall remains a viable tourist attraction? Or is it to write one-woman comedy shows featuring songs, stand-up and storytelling? After decades of field research, she thinks she has the answer.

Expect silliness, satire and self-deprecation from crowd-pleaser Clare Summerskill as she hits the road with her funniest show yet. Clare will share the previously unheard story of the lesbian squirrel on the Ark, forced to take up a complaint about compulsory heterosexuality with Noah himself; and she will finally uncover the Almighty’s real opinion about women-loving-women.

Clare performs an original cocktail of stand-up and comedy songs as well as her one-woman full-length stage shows to mainly LGBTQ audiences up and down the country and also in the US, and has even been known to make straight people chuckle just a little bit! She brings ‘dyke humour’ to the forefront of alternative comedy. She was once one half of the legendary lesbian-themed double act Alice and Clare (with Alice Arnold). Clare performs at theatres, cabaret venues, AGMs, conferences and festivals.

A packed comedy show from ‘one of the funniest women in the country’ (What’s On) with a keen fanbase across the UK (gay and straight!). Clare has previously written for BBC Radio 4’s Weekending and Heated Rollers and toured her shows to theatres in the UK and the US.
