Cally Beaton: Namaste Motherf*ckers A quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. **EXTRA SHOW ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND** Namaste Motherf*ckers is the new show from Cally Beaton (QI, Live at the Apollo) - a quick-witted, unexpected and unapologetic insight into life in midlife. Combining Cally’s comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention – taking her from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a celebration of and for the female of the species. Invisible no more. The show includes a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too). 'Sprightly wit and considerable storytelling prowess' ★★★★ The Scotsman 'Original and clever' ★★★★ The Arts Desk – pick of the Edinburgh Fringe 'Gripping, perceptive and uplifting' Chortle 'Exciting and hilarious talent…'
