Review: Pam Ayres, Wolverhampton Grand Theatre
Poetry that told stories of the everyday - motherhood, housework, a husband's stubbornness and of course Fred the racehorse, this was an evening of laughs led by a broadcaster that has had more than 40 years of success.
Pam Ayres, dressed in all black with a shocking pink kimono jacket next to a table of some of her best work, was an unimposing figure on the stage at The Grand last night.
The well-known and much-loved writer, poet and comedienne was relaxed, relatable and down to earth as she regaled tales from her own childhood as well as that of rearing her own children.
Referring to her 2011 bestselling autobiography The Necessary Aptitude, the radio star reminded the audience of the things they may have forgotten from their own early lives.
