Dawn French is a Huge Tw*t

A statement from Dawn French

“This show is so-named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate.

There have been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of tw*ttery.

I thought I might tell some of these buttock-clenching embarrassing stories to give the audience a peek behind the scenes of my work life…

Roll up!  Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total tw*t on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”

Dawn French Is a Huge Twat review – mini-masterpieces of self-mockery

New theatre, Oxford French heaps detail upon self-abasing detail as she shares hugely engaging stories from her 40-year career

I t’s called semantic satiation, when you say a word so many times it starts to lose its meaning. Something of that effect is on display in this new touring show, which asserts – over and over again, in one life-and-work yarn after another – that Dawn French Is a Huge Twat. The young Dawn tries to be pretty by twitching her nose? Twat. Actor Dawn screws up the American accent for Kenneth Branagh’s movie Death on the Nile . Huge twat. Ageing Dawn misunderstands her doctor’s diagnosis when he treats her gammy knee. Twat twat twat.

If the object is to ingratiate herself with the audience (as if she needed to), French’s twat conceit works a treat: this is an enormously likable show, whose host revels in tales of her own self-mortification. But the motif is stretched way beyond breaking point. A significant handful of French’s anecdotes don’t demonstrate twattishness in any way – like the one about refusing to perform a sexist line in a Comic Strip script, or the one about Dustin Hoffman’s eccentric visit to her West End dressing room. Engaging stories they may be. Illustrations of French’s supposed “staggering stupidity”, they are not.

No matter. The point is to encourage us all to be more at ease with our social awkwardness, our self-consciousness, our proneness to gaffes – to celebrate that shared idiocy rather than stage-managing Insta perfection for likes, which the 64-year-old deplores. That’s a cause I can get behind, and – amid the more generic showbiz fare – French isn’t short of stories that fly its flag. Her tale of filming saucy scenes with co-star Phil Daniels offers a perspective on staged intimacy you seldom hear, as well as delivering the required levels of daftness on French’s part. A disastrous audition for Mamma Mia! is brought vividly to life as our host re-enacts the out-of-body experience of listening to herself mangle one Abba song after another.

Then there’s the showstopping story of her and then-husband Lenny Henry’s appearance at a star-studded fancy dress ball for Elton John’s 50th birthday. French spins this one into a mini-masterpiece of public humiliation, heaping detail upon self-abasing detail, and – ticklishly, brilliantly – withholding photographic corroboration until the last possible moment.

Next to that, a few of the anecdotes feel low-wattage: some mildly amusing things that happened, several of them lacking punchlines or big payoffs – for all that French deploys and re-deploys the exclamation “what a twat!” to serve in lieu. But those accounts are usually redeemed by French’s bubbliness and congeniality, an assertively unstarry manner bolstered by her story of haplessly fangirling the singer Norah Jones. And independently of the tales French tells, it’s usually fun just to revisit the shows, sketches and comedy collectives she’s been part of over her 40-year career: a fresh-faced Ade Edmondson here, a boyish Hugh Laurie there. Jennifer “Fatty” Saunders almost everywhere.

Finally, as French ranges across The Vicar of Dibley, Murder Most Horrid and Harry Potter (clips on an upstage screen), it’s as a compendium of often self-mocking showbiz reminiscences, more than as a testament to twattishness, that the show is best enjoyed. And enjoy it you likely will, French being a super trouper, and director Michael Grandage steering proceedings towards a feelgood, redemptive finale, with a standing ovation very much built-in. Huge Twat she may be. Entertainer to her bones, on this evidence, French unmistakeably is.

Dawn French Is a Huge Twat is at Northcott theatre, Exeter, on Sunday; New theatre, Peterborough, on Thursday; then touring.

Dawn French review — a jolly show packed with celebrity anecdotes

Challenge yourself with today’s puzzles.

★★★★☆ How many fondly self-mocking showbiz anecdotes can you take in one night? Turns out I can take more than I imagined. Oh, I wouldn’t really recommend that any other act try the formula Dawn French plies so successfully in her second one-woman tour, Dawn French is a Huge Twat . Referring to herself as a “roly-poly Eighties comedian”, announcing that she has been “a giant twat for most of my life”, French proceeds to tell tales of mishaps, misunderstandings, the Mamma Mia! audition so disastrous that Julie Walters got the job instead.

It’s self-revelation of the most managed kind: any one of these 20-odd stories against herself would be perfect chat show fodder. It’s outwardly self-lacerating, inwardly self-accepting. The stage equivalent of one of

Dawn French on going grey and returning to live comedy

The actor, comedian and writer is GH's April cover star

From her role as one half of the comedy duo French and Saunders to her lead role in the beloved sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, Dawn has firmly cemented her national treasure status. And her talents don't stop there, having also published a number of bestselling novels; most recently, 2020's Because Of You.

Now, in an exclusive new interview with Good Housekeeping, Dawn has opened up about her recent hair transformation, her inspirational mum and how she feels about returning to live comedy this year with a one-woman show.

"Well, the title is a little controversial," she says of her upcoming tour. "It’s called Dawn French Is A Huge Twat . I don’t know if that’s even printable, but I wanted to call it that because it’s true."

She describes the show as "an evening of me telling stories of times when I’ve been a bit of an idiot, where I’ve misunderstood or misheard something, or got something hideously wrong during my career."

"I’ll show people all these moments – when I’ve sent emails to people who really shouldn’t have seen them, for example – and how they played out in real life," she adds.

Over the past two years, Dawn has also undergone a hair transformation, having gone grey with a much shorter cut.

“The real trigger came during the lockdowns when I was dying my hair myself, and I just couldn’t be bothered to keep doing it, so I let my natural grey come through," she explains.

"I also cut some of it myself - to my hairdresser's alarm! It’s much shorter than I’m used to now and I do have certain ‘grrr’ moments when I’m going out and I don’t know how to style it - I would literally give my old hair 13 minutes of my time each day - but the plan is to grow it again like my old hairstyle.

"I’m curious to see what the bob might look like with a good strong grey.”

As part of Good Housekeeping 's 100th anniversary celebrations , Dawn also reflected on the changes women have seen in the last century; the biggest of which, she thinks, has been contraception.

"I think an awful lot of things stem from that, because it gave women the freedom to have pleasure in their lives, but also to be in control of how their futures pan out,” she says.

But there are many changes Dawn would still like to see for women in the next 100 years, especially greater respect.

"There would be equal pay if women had respect, and you would be believed about abuse," she says. "Women deserve respect for so many reasons because we are mighty. We’re starting to be heard more – and that needs to continue.”

Dawn has worked with a number of inspirational women over the years, but when asked who has inspired her the most, she said it would have to be her mum , Felicity Roma.

"She was a pioneer when it came to changing the lives of young women with drug and alcohol issues, and she founded a recovery centre in Plymouth called Trevi House," Dawn explains.

"Alone as a widow from a very young age, she was strong and fearless. If I had a quarter of her strength, I’d be grateful.”

Read the full interview with Dawn French in the April 2022 issue of Good Housekeeping , on sale 24th February. It is available in all supermarkets and online at MagsDirect .

Dawn french is a huge tw*t.

by Dawn French

Directed by Michael Grandage

Cast: Dawn French

Dawn French, the Queen of British comedy, returns to the stage this autumn with her solo show, Dawn French Is A Huge Twat . Dawn will tour the UK from 8 September-26 November 2023. Tickets for all shows are on sale now.

The award-winning actor, best-selling novelist and all-round very funny lady is here to tell us more:

“This show is so named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate. There have been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of twattery. I thought I might tell some of these buttock clenching embarrassing stories to give the audience a peek behind the scenes of my work life…

Roll up! Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total twat on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”
