Tickets on sale for Maisie Adam gigs in Reading and Basingstoke

She didn’t quite make the final of Last One Laughing, and now she’s hoping you will be the ones having a laugh: Maisie Adam is coming to Reading this autumn with her new show Whatsherface. 

And if you can’t make the 7 November date in the Concert Hall, don’t fret as the Taskmaster Champion will be coming back to the area on 25 February next year, with a gig at The Anvil in Basingstoke. 

Tickets for both gigs are already on sale. 

What is Whatsherface about?

Whatsherface is a follow-up to Maisie Adam’s sell-out tour last year. 

It stems from a genuine description of her given by her best friend’s Mum at a recent wedding: The ‘tall, chaotic one with the weird hair’. 

She will deliver her trademark wit and firecracker gags, and probably a few angry outbursts along the way. 

Maisie has had an incredibly exciting, rapid rise through the comedy ranks becoming a household name in just a few years, including scooping the winner’s crown in a recent Taskmaster series, and valiantly trying not to chuckle in the second series of the UK version of Last One Laughing, currently airing on Amazon Prime.

She has also starred on: C4’s The Last Leg and The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year, multiple times on BBC’s Have I Got News For You and Sky’s A League Of Their Own. She is also a regular participant of ITV’s Soccer Aid for UNICEF and her TV special Appraisal is available on Sky and NOW TV.
