Looking for Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood comes to The Bridge in Milford

KNOWN as the king of cabaret, Paulus will bring his nostalgic musical celebration Looking for Me Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood to the Bridge at Milford next week.

The show is billed as a celebration of the music of the late comedy genius and national treasure, written and performed by Paulus the ‘Cabaret Geek’ from BBC1’s All Together Now.

Directed by multi-award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise, the production is filled with love, laughter and fabulous memories for Victoria Wood fans as well as being the ultimate beginner’s guide for audiences new to her work.

Many of Victoria Wood’s best-loved songs through the decades will be featured including It Would Never Have Worked, Reincarnation and, of course, the classic Ballad of Barry and Freda (Let’s Do It), as well as some of her lesser-known and more poignant compositions.

Acclaimed pianist Michael Roulston joins Paulus on stage, proving what many have known for decades: that it takes two men to do the work of one woman, half as well.

Paulus said: “I’m thrilled that we can continue travelling the UK for another year, celebrating a lost, much-loved friend. There’s nothing I love more than meeting fellow fans of the unforgettable Victoria Wood, and introducing a new generation to her wit, wisdom and word-play.”

Paulus is an entertainer and educator specialising in cabaret. His musical tribute to Victoria Wood premièred in London in 2020.

For 15 years, Paulus had close ties to the cult London cabaret venue the Battersea Barge, producing many cabarets for them including the hugely successful talent contest Cheese ‘n’ Crackers, Diva Nite and their annual adult pantomimes.

Looking for My Friend: The Music of Victoria Wood will be on stage at The Bridge in Milford on Saturday 16th November at 8pm. Ticket are £20. To book visit: www.moscommunitycentre.org.uk
