Grace Petrie: This Is No Time To Panic!
Comedy
Gig
Music
Event organiser:
Leeds Heritage Theatres - City Varieties

Like protest songs? Neither does Grace Petrie – and she’s been singing them for 15 politically disastrous years. No longer able to meet the deadened eyes or desperate hopes of left-wing audiences, she reckons there’s no better time for a feel-good show! Depressed by fascism, misogyny and eco-destruction? Sounds like YOUR climate needs a change!

Long respected as the British folk scene’s funniest lesbian, Grace’s 2022 standup debut Butch Ado About Nothing garnered critical acclaim and sold out venues across the UK. This Is No Time To Panic! sees her combine music and comedy for the first time. She knows folk songs can’t save the world, and neither can stand-up. But both at the same time?? Read it and weep, Putin!
