THE hilarious Shappi Khorsandi will be performing at the Theatre Royal in Winchester on Friday June 8.

The star of 2017’s series of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News for You and Q.I., is back on tour with her sell out Edinburgh Festival Fringe show Mistress and Misfit.

Shappi Khorsandi presents England’s unsung heroine, Emma, Lady Hamilton. For too many years she has been known as just Nelson’s mistress, a bit of a harlot (you get one job in a brothel and bang goes your reputation).

Women’s lib wasn’t a thing in Georgian times.

Emma moved mountains to haul herself from scullery maid to Lady Hamilton... and, yes, she occasionally danced naked on tables to get ahead in life, but who hasn’t?

As a fellow naked dancer on tables, Shappi raises a glass to the woman England betrayed.

Shappi is a best-selling author having released A Beginners Guide to Acting English in 2009, followed by her fantastic critically acclaimed debut novel Nina Is Not OK in July 2016, and released in paperback in February 2017.

Shappi has notched up numerous high profile television appearances, including Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, The Graham Norton Show, Have I Got News For You and her own Comedy Store Special for Comedy Central. She also had the honour of being nominated at the prestigious British Comedy Awards in the Best Female Comic category up against fellow nominee’s Jo Brand and Sarah Millican and appeared as a panellist on Loose Women and Question Time.

Since 2015, Shappi holds the role of President of Humanists UK.
