Preview: Isy Suttie: Jackpot UK Tour 2022 comes to Brighton and Hove.

Reviewer: Simon Topping

After a few years away, Isy Suttie returns to the stage with her brand new show Jackpot, which will tour the UK and arrives at The Old Market in Hove on Monday 26th September 2022.

Isy’s always searching for adventure in life, but now that she’s a mum with a partner who hates surprises, can she still find it? And why does she need it anyway?

Ever since she can remember, she has been searching for ways to make her life more exciting: ouija boards, exploring derelict houses and jumping off things for a bet. She often meets others who share the same love of pushing the boundaries: the Welsh taxi driver who found a mischievous way of brightening up his day, and a neighbour who created a network of tunnels beneath his house just for the fun of it.

Now, things have changed: she’s got children of her own and a partner who detests surprises. In her return to live stand-up, she asks whether it’s enough to try and find that buzz on mums’ weekends away or on family walks in the woods, and quite why she continues to hunt for it at all costs.

As seen as Dobby in Channel 4’s Peep Show, Esther in Shameless, Ally in Man Down, on Would I Lie To You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Hypothetical, Q.I. and much more, Isy has been nominated for three British Comedy Awards, and won a gold Sony Award for her BBC Radio 4 series Isy Suttie’s Love Letters. The paperback of her acclaimed second book, Jane Is Trying, was released in spring 2022.

Isy plays The old Market for one night only on 26th September and tours around the country until 5th November.
