Queen of Tarts’ AOTNZ Tour 11 - 29 April 2012


www.hotpink.co.nz

Want more “OH!” in your poetry and more “ahhhh” in your alliteration? Want to see a woman whose bra fits her head? Well NZ’s favourite rhyming Queen of Tarts has the show for you!

Hot Pink with Penny Ashton is a loads-of-laughs-a-minute comedy show that incorporates poetry, songs, ukulele and stand-up comedy to dissect the dilemmas of a modern woman, and also shows herself to be a bit of a twit now and then.

Since her last tour in 2010, Penny has performed at the Glastonbury Festival, reported from the Miss Universe Pageant in Las Vegas, won Best International Poetry Performance at the London Farrago Awards, appeared in Would I Lie to You, has become a gossip columnist on TVNZ’s Good Morning and is about to present a brand new TV series for Heartland Channel - North and South My Space, which premiers March 18th.

“…vivacious…highly entertaining…sheer charm and energy...”The Scotsman – Edinburgh

“I really enjoyed it.” Pam Ayres

“…pure class…” Nelson Mail
“….poetry to make you happy, hungry…”
