Welcome to Jenny Eclair’s new stand-up show. After thirty years in the business she should vaguely know what she’s doing? Professional Grumpy Old Woman, writer and panto star; Eclair has been round the block that many times she’s lost count.

Tucked away in a corner of the Exeter Phoenix was the Clothes Swap Soiree, which was an event where local ladies could exchange their unwanted clothes for some new ones without any hefty price tags to do so, and in the process you would be contributing towards the charity SAFE, who are working towards stopping domestic violence and abuse.
After completing a quick spring-clean of my wardrobe I was ready to head...
As part of Exeter’s Ignite Festival, which has been taking place this week, I went along to the Exeter Phoenix to discover more about Exeter’s hidden history by watching the performance of Telling Our Stories, Finding Our Roots .
