Television chef Prue Leith brings first live show to Nottingham Playhouse

Television chef Prue Leith brings her first live tour ­— Nothing In Moderation­— to Nottingham Playhouse on Wednesday (March 1).

She will share a myriad of fascinating anecdotes about her life: taking audiences through the ups and downs of being a successful restaurateur, novelist, businesswoman and Great British Bake Off judge; feeding the rich and famous, cooking for royalty and even poisoning her clients ­— all told for the very first time.

In the second half she will be joined on stage by Clive Tulloh, who will put questions to Prue from the audience.

Prue said: “I’ve never done a stage show before and at 82 I’m probably nuts to try it, but it’s huge fun, makes the audience laugh and lets me rant away about the restaurant trade, publishers, TV and writing, and sing the praises of food, love and life.”

Dame Prue Leith has been a judge on the world’s biggest baking television show, The Great British Bake Off, since 2017 when she joined fellow judge Paul Hollywood.

Before Bake Off, Prue enjoyed great success in her career as a restaurateur, chef, writer and journalist.

In the 1960s and 70s, she ran her own catering business and then set up Leith’s Food and Wine, which trains professional cooks and amateur chefs.

She has written multiple cookery books and many features about food for publications including The Guardian.

She has appeared on many other television shows, including Great British Menu and My Kitchen Rules.
