Janet Street-Porter Is Still Off The Leash at 80!
From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to National Treasure, Janet Street-Porter’s life (and language) has always been colourful.
As a broadcaster, television executive and newspaper editor she was at the forefront of some of Britain’s most enduring cultural moments. Now she finds herself on the cusp of turning 80 and so her agent has decided he needs to milk this cash-cow while he can.
Armed with a senior railcard and a fifth husband in tow, the nation’s favourite pissed-off pensioner is back on the road bringing comedy, tragedy and gossip in equal measure, a tour de force rant against growing old gracefully.
Often imitated but rarely equalled, in the words of her good friend Elton, “the bitch is back”!

Starts 7.30pm
Let’s get Ha Ha H-Aberdeen laughing!
Following an amazing response in 2025, the Aberdeen Comedy Festival returns for 2026 with an extended line up and even more chances to see your favourite comics across three weekends from Friday 19 September to Sunday 04 October 2026.
From leading names to rising stars, household favourites to local heroes, from stand-up to improv, Aberdeen is gearing up for another year of laughter from the best of the best.
Laughter really is the best medicine…no prescription needed!
