Jenny Eclair and Judith Holder take their Older and Wider podcast to the stage

Jenny Eclair and her Grumpy Old Women co-writer Judith Holder are to perform a live version of their  Older and Wider podcast in London.

The pair will be at Leicester Square Theatre on Sunday June and Sunday July 2 at 3pm and promise ‘games, sit-down audience participation, hypochondriac’s bingo, and a Q&A’.

Eclair said, ‘Judith and I haven’t been onstage together since Latitude Festival when Judith got so overexcited, she got uncharacteristically drunk after the gig and ended up vomiting into a washing up bowl.’

Holder added: ‘Show finishes in time to get home, break open some mini cheddars and undo the bra in front of The Antiques Roadshow. F**k yes. What’s not to love?’

The announcement of the shows – which go on sale at 10am – comes as Eclair joins Taskmaster for the 15th series, which starts next Thursday.

The pair launched their podcast in December 2018 and kept it going throughout lockdown. Its 200 episodes have been downloaded 5million times.
