Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged

For 50 years the legendary Su Pollard has delighted audiences, starring in the nation’s best-known TV shows and on stages around the globe in some of the world’s most-loved musicals.

Now, to celebrate her glittering half-century in showbusiness, Su is hitting the road with her brand-new one-woman variety show, Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged, coming to the Jersey Opera House on Wednesday 15 October.

In a flurry of costumes, props, and live musical accompaniment, Su takes the audience through her career from the earliest days of auditions, through her many acclaimed musical theatre appearances, to her international TV successes. Still Fully Charged shows why Su has become the national treasure she is today, with audiences describing her as “a powerhouse of a woman … just brilliant!”, “absolutely hilarious”, “fabulous, entertaining and nostalgic”, and “A-MA-ZING!”

Speaking about the tour, Su said: “I am thrilled to be going back on the road, celebrating my 50 years in the business with audiences all across the country. The new show is an evening of hilarious stories from throughout my career, songs that have been important to me, and maybe even the appearance of one or two familiar characters! I can’t wait to have some fun in my favourite places with fabulous people. See you soon! Oh ‘eck!”

From humble beginnings on TV’s Opportunity Knocks – where she famously came second to a singing dog – through her years as Maplin’s chalet maid Peggy in the hit BBC series-de-Hi!, to her West End and national touring roles in Godspell, Annie, and Little Shop of Horrors, and her more recent scene-stealing TV appearances on Celebrity Masterchef, Gimme Gimme Gimme, and Would I Lie to You?-it’s been an action-packed half-century of sheer entertainment. And Su’s only getting started!
