About this event
Fresh from sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2025 this show is on offer to small-mid scale venues throughout 2026.
A Wimbledon line judge for 20 years, comedian Pauline Eyre is ready to spill the Pimms on tennis gossip from the fragrant royal box to the musty locker room, and why line judges are OUT! Expect smashing stories, ace anecdotes and a 40-love letter to the game. And there’s nobody to say ‘quiet please’. She cannot be serious… can she?
‘She’s warm, wonderfully funny and you’ll want to be her pal’ – Angela Barnes
‘Laughs aplenty… juicy locker room secrets… naughty line judge-y anarchy…motivational joy… Nice.’ 4**** One4Review
‘What makes the show land is the marriage of insider authority and properly honed comic timing. It’s not just a love letter to a game; it’s a blueprint for turning an obsession into a well-structured, laugh-out-loud production’ 4**** The Real Chris Sparkle
‘10 out of 10’ – Giles Brandreth
Tickets £12 - £17
