Jessica Fostekew – Wench Tour 2022

Jessica Fostekew returns with her brand new hour.

A show about sexy things (awkward), private things (oh no) and a woman trying to sit on the face of time to keep it still (hot, right?). You’ve seen Jess on Live at the Apollo, QI and on Harry Hill’s Clubnite, Richard Osman’s House Of Games, amongst other TV shows. She’s a regular co-host of The Guilty Feminist Podcast, the host and creator of The Hoovering Podcast and you hear her regularly on BBC R4’s News Quiz and Now Show.

Jess was nominated for the Dave Edinburgh Comedy Award – Best Show 2019 with her last show Hench, and she won Best Show and Best Breakthrough Act in the Chortle Awards 2020.

Jessica has co-written and stars in ‘Real Friends’, a new special for Sky out late 2022. She also has a new BBC Radio 4 series, ‘Strong Girls Club’ commissioned for release in 2023.

As an actor, she’s amassed a slew of impressive credits, including; Avoidance (with Romesh Ranganathan), The Trouble With Maggie Cole, Cuckoo (BBC/ Netflix), Motherland, Out of Her Mind, Trigonometry and BAFTA multiple-award winning BBC drama, Three Girls. You can catch her in the feature films, Official Secrets from Gavin Hood and Greed from Michael Winterbottom.

Reviews

The Guardian

“Wench finds Fostekew in commanding form, reflective and funny in equal measure”

The Times 

“She is self-doubting and sorted, apologetic and defiant: excellent company, in short, whether agitating against bigotry or joking about her Wordle habit.”

Chortle

“Fostekew is such a powerhouse performer”

“She has bulletproof confidence, a delivery that’s physically and vocally dynamic, and rattles through the material at such a lick that it sweeps up the audience”

The Skinny

“Wench – a nuanced, vivid and energetic exploration of identity”

“The show never flags, propelled by the sheer speed and energy of her delivery.”

“A new fiercely funny strain of comedy that’s her own” The Independent

“A loud, lively and vital voice” The Evening Standard
