Would I come down and do an event in the hotel?

And they kind of said, maybe a reading from your book or a book club evening or something like that.

And I knew, I thought, here's my chance.

If they're offering me a venue, in other words, I don't have to take a financial risk.

this is a chance for me to develop a one woman show and test it.

So I said to them, look, if I had a show like a one hour, one woman kind of comedy show, would you be interested in that?

They said, absolutely.

So they gave me a room which held 50 people.

And I furiously started writing the show, which is Older, Bolder, Wiser.

And we sold out the 50 and they had to move me into a bigger room.

I think there was about 120 people came.

And it was amazing.

And it went really well.

And I thought, right, I've got a show now.

So I took it on the road.

And I have spent all of last year touring with Older, Bolder, Wiser in venues up and down the country from hotels to we've great theatres in this country.

We've two great things.

We've lots of great things in this country.

But libraries and I don't do my show in libraries, but we've great libraries and great theatres everywhere.

Why do you think we've got libraries?
