The star of Taskmaster and Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable, Lou Sanders has announced her biggest UK tour to date for 2025 with a brand-new stand-up show No Kissing In The Bingo Hall coming to Lighthouse Poole on Saturday 12 April 2025.
An internationally-acclaimed stand-up comedian, Lou presents her most personal show yet, assuring audiences: “Just like Tom Cruise does all his own stunts, I'm going to do all my own jokes!”
Lou has toured her live shows to packed houses across the world and regularly receives rave reviews. One of Britain’s most original comedians, Lou is consistently a critics’ and audience favourite who has been named a top comedian to see by publications including The Guardian, The Scotsman, The List, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
Away from the stage, Lou published her debut book, the delightfully gritty memoir What’s That Lady Doing? False Starts and Happy Endings which she said: “seems to have connected with women over 35, alcoholics and other vulnerable cross sections of humanity.” Delving into a rich variety of topics including her sexual harassment, overcoming shame, trauma, and discovering spirituality with her trademark humour, honesty and vulnerability, the book was described by The Guardian as “a moving, hilarious and generally astonishing memoir”, and made the top ten biographies on Audible. She also writes regular columns for The Guardian and Metro.
Lou featured in ITV’s Dancing On Ice this year and can also be seen in the fourth series of Unforgivable, which she co-hosts with Mel Giedroyc – a show that saw them crowned Best Entertainment Programme at the Broadcast Digital Awards.
Lou hosted an episode of Live At The Apollo and is also a previous Taskmaster champion. She has featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden (CBS), 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4), QI (BBC Two), Travel Man (Channel 4), Hypothetical (Dave), 8 Out of 10 Cats (Channel 4) and can regularly be heard on The Unbelievable Truth (BBC Radio 4), while she has been a guest co-host on live radio shows on Virgin Radio, BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio X with names including John Robins, Elis James and Ed Gamble.
