Comedian, presenter, and Sunday Times bestselling author Mel Giedroyc is at the peak of her powers… unlike Gill, the central character of The Comeback. A failed performer who spies a chance at creative glory by staging a spectacular show to celebrate her local theatre’s 100th anniversary, Gill finds herself at war with a diva Artistic Director who wants to draw the curtain early. In what’s set to be a Festival highlight, join Giedroyc for a big-hearted chat about dreams, drama, and community with none other than comedian, author, and Giedroyc’s lifelong pal and comedy partner, Sue Perkins.
