Comedian Sue Perkins will perform her new solo show at the New Theatre Oxford in Oxfordshire on Wednesday, 25 March 2026. The performance is part of a nationwide tour titled ‘The Eternal Shame of Sue Perkins’ and marks the first time the star has toured a full-length stand-up show in nearly 20 years.
The show features stories from the comedian’s 30 years in the public eye, focusing on themes of stigma and misunderstanding. While Perkins is widely known for presenting television programmes like ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and her popular appearance as a contestant on ‘Taskmaster,’ this production sees her return to her roots in live comedy.
The event in Oxford is one of more than 40 dates across the UK for the Sue Perkins 2026 tour, which runs from January until April. The venue on George Street has a capacity of 1,785 seats, making it the largest entertainment space in the region.
Local businesses including nearby bars and restaurants are expected to see more customers during the mid-week evening as theatre-goers visit the city centre for the one-night performance. The tour, produced by John Mackay and Sally Homer, has received positive feedback since it began in January 2026.
