Poet Pam Ayres adds Nottingham Playhouse show to UK tour dates

The tour will now include a debut visit to Nottingham Playhouse on April 24.

Pam’s tour of theatres and literary festivals celebrates the release of latest book, Doggedly Onward: A Life In Poems, which brings together – for the first time in a single volume – Pam’s life in poems, illustrated and annotated throughout, with her own reflections on six decades of making the nation laugh and cry.

Pam is the author of numerous best-selling poetry collections, including The Works, With These Hands, Up In The Attic, and Pam Ayres on Animals, the UK’s bestselling poetry book of 2021.

No stranger to the stage or the screen, Pam first appeared on TV in 1975 when she entered (and won) TV talent show Opportunity Knocks.

Since then, Pam has performed to audiences across the globe, and in 2004 was appointed an MBE for services to literature and entertainment.

In 2022, Pam took to the stage at the renowned Glastonbury Festival to entertain crowds with her joyful, witty and hilarious verses. Pam has appeared on screen most recently on Alan Titchmarsh’s Love Your Weekend, This Morning, Would I Lie To You, and two popular series for Channel 5.

Having grown up in rural Oxfordshire and now residing in Gloucestershire, Pam has been surrounded by British countryside her whole life, and much of her poetry, written and spoken work is about the natural world.
