Judi Love: I'm planning my new stand-up tour
Comedian is trying out new material in the clubs
Judi Love says she’s planning her next stand-up tour.
The comic and TV presenter wound up her last show, The One Like Judi Love, at the London Palladium in February, becoming the first black British female comedian to have a sold-out show there.
‘That was a real moment for me, for my first tour,’ she told Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett on their podcast Dish.
Speaking of returning to the stage, she added: ‘I'm in the process now of writing and I hope to tour again next year.
‘I do love it. It's hard work, but there is nothing like getting on that stage, an audience that’s specifically comes to you for comedy. That's where I can be my real self with no filter.
‘Obviously TV, you’ve got to be careful what you say. But [on stage] you can be your real self and talk about the topics that really are on your heart or that's relatable to your audience.
‘People have to understand that's time and practice, so I, before I went on tour, we'd do warmup gigs. I did about 30. Thirty warmup gigs, and then I did a 40-show tour.
‘But I love writing. Over this last like six months, what I have been doing is turning up to comedy clubs. And the beauty of that is I go there, just so raw, like my hair's natural, no makeup, trainers and a T-shirt. You're lucky if I'm wearing a bra!’
