 Warren Lakin, Linda Smith's partner of 23 years is touring a theatre show that celebrates the life and work of the late great LINDA SMITH, to coincide with International Women's day (8th March) and to support Ovarian Cancer Action's March campaign 'Love Women'.
The show will be seen in 28 venues and £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Action.
Linda Smith was one of Britain's great comedians of recent times. Voted 'Wittiest Living Person' by Radio 4 listeners, she was the brilliant mainstay of Radio 4's The News Quiz, Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue for many years.
This ten-week tour will mark Linda's outstanding contribution to the work of comedy. This will be a full two hour show and actors, musicians and comedians will take audiences on a beautifully crafted journey through Linda's life story in an adaptation of her biography Driving Miss Smith written by Warren and published by Hodder.
The stage show is directed and narrated by two of Linda's closest theatrical friends from her days in Sheffield, Kate Rutter and Mike McCarthy, with Warren Lakin in a supporting role. Each performance will feature musical contributions from friends such as award-winning singer songwriters Barb Junr, Carol Grimes and Sandi Russell plus guest spots from TV and stage actors such as Gwyneth Strong - Cassandra from Only Fools and Horses...
