Britain's What's On Event Guide
Fiona Allen 'On The Run'
Following on from Fiona Allen’s sell out tour and Edinburgh run in 2023 with her debut stand-up show ‘On The Run’. The star and co-writer of Emmy and Bafta award winning TV series ‘Smack The Pony’ has added 13 extra dates for 2024. The tour will be at Leeds Wardrobe 25th February 2024.
‘On The Run’ follows Fiona’s warm, engaging and very funny and recent journey to the stand-up stage, her thoughts on family, marriage, sex robots, passive aggressive school Mum’s and supermarket dress codes.
Fiona is a woman born with itchy feet. As a teenager, she left her hometown of Bury for the bright lights of Manchester and became part of the Tony Wilson empire of the Hacienda Nightclub and Factory Records. When she decided to become an actor, she came to London and in next to no time had won 2 Emmy’s as the star and co-writer of the hugely influential all female Sketch show ‘Smack the Pony’.
She met and married Mike, the son of the late Sir Michael Parkinson, and had 3 kids in 5 years. The last few years have been a whirlwind of work and kids, kids and work with a small bit of husband thrown in and a large dollop of a mad Cockapoo. The kids and the other two are sort of housetrained so now it’s a good time to take a breather and decide what Fiona would like to do for herself. The only problem is her chronic itchy feet and an attention span that would put her behind a goldfish in a list of possible contestants on The Chase. So, in true Fiona style she decided to go On the Run…
