Find out how much gin Mary Berry can sink in an hour<br />
(possibly) and how to tickle Paul Hollywood’s tastebuds as<br />
Bake Off host Sue Perkins brings her new show, Spectacles, to<br />
the Theatre Royal.<br />
She may be minus her<br />
comedy pal Mel<br />
Giedroyc on this<br />
successful solo<br />
tour, but Perkins’<br />
still shines with<br />
comedic sparkle.<br />
Based on<br />
Perkins’ hilarious<br />
memoir of the<br />
same name,<br />
the show takes a<br />
look at a life full of<br />
laughter, tears and cake.<br />
