Norfolk’s favourite veloured lady and Nimmo Twins character, She Go, heads back to Norwich Theatre Playhouse in She Go Looks Back at 2023, to give lats year a ‘roight going over’ between 10 Jan – 21 Jan.
The show will provide the perfect antidote to the bleak mid-winter. Prepare for a lot of mischief, double entendre, single entendre, and her favourite Norfolk news stories.
She Go said:
“Helloo! She Go, hare.
“Single-mum, double-D, triple vodka, if you’re buying. If you want to shake off the Noo Yare blues but want to carry on sitting on your backside, half-drunk, staring at traditional Christmas entertainment, then come on down to Norwich Theatre Playhouse.
“It’s a 75 minutes show, where I’ll be casting a heavily mascara’d eye over the biggest Norfolk news stories of the yare, including Spies in Yarmouth, the end of Anglia Square, Norfolk’s best inventions and Hemsby getting smaller by the day.
“Expect slides, songs, poems, a smattering of filth and my tribute to Mike Liggins, who’s made my friendship circle so much bigger. See you down there!”
The man behind the velour, Karl Minns, joined Stephen Crocker, Norwich Theatre Chief Executive and Creative Director, in Podcast Corner for an episode of the award-winning podcast Norwich Theatre Talks ahead of his shows this month.
He tells Stephen about how the Nimmo Twins and the characters have evolved over the 25 years of the Nimmo Twins, his writing process and where he gets his ideas from.
He says: Looking back at old scripts, it is amazing how much the comedy has changed, but it is interesting to see the seeds of stuff we still do now.”
Karl also talks about developing a character that has grown with him. “She has changed a lot. She was much more aggressive and selfish in the beginning. She has softened because I have softened. The closest character to me is probably She Go, and I would never have thought that even five or ten years ago.”
