THE award-winning actor, best-selling novelist and all round very funny lady Dawn French is bringing her new show, 30 Million Minutes, based on her life and career to the Palace Theatre.
Dawn said; "I'm sick with excitement about this solo tour. I am enjoying the fact that I can't categorise exactly what it is, but it's somewhere between a monologue, a play, and an autobiographical slide show with a few funnies thrown in. At last, I have one of my three genie wishes granted, which is that I finally get to work with Michael Grandage. The other two wishes are as yet unfulfilled.
"They are secret obviously, but suffice to say, one is about Barack Obama in speedos."
Dawn's career includes working with comedy partner Jennifer Saunders and starring in the classic BBC sitcom, The Vicar of Dibley.
* The Palace Theatre presents Dawn French: 30 Million Minutes on October 28 at 7.30pm.
