Janet Street-Porter: national treasure, cultural icon, reluctant grown-up

From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to a household name with a senior railcard and four ex-husbands, Janet Street-Porter’s life has always been anything but ordinary—and now she’s ready to tell you all about it.

In a no-holds-barred evening of comedy, tragedy, and glorious gossip, Britain’s favourite p*ssed-off pensioner returns to the stage at The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, later this month, with her trademark wit and unstoppable energy.

Whether skewering the absurdities of modern life or railing against the idea of growing old gracefully, Janet brings her signature blend of humour and honesty in an outrageous tour de force rant.

A trailblazer in every sense, Street-Porter (pictured above) has been at the forefront of British culture for over five decades.

As a broadcaster, television executive, and newspaper editor, she helped shape the media landscape—and ruffled more than a few feathers along the way.

Now, she’s embracing the chaos of later life with the same unfiltered passion that made her a star.

From celebrity showdowns to her own outrageous adventures, nothing is off-limits.

Often imitated but rarely equalled, Janet proves that age is just a number—and attitude is everything.

Or, as her old mate Elton John so eloquently put it – “The bitch is back”.

Janet Street-Porter is at The Apex on Monday, September 29, at 7.30pm.
