The Virginia Monologues: Why growing old is great

Growing old can be a riot and Virgina Ironside is here to back that up with her cheeky yet comical approach to the wild perks of funerals, free drugs and no sex.

Senior music-journalist-turned-tabloid-agony-aunt, Virginia Ironside, also the author of several recent bestsellers like No! I Don’t Want to Join a Bookclub!, hits the stage with a bittersweet piece of stand-up comedy.

Ironside truly takes the piss out of herself and elderly people in general, proving to be a good laugh – that is, if you think jokes like: “Let’s talk about old people and sex: Don’t worry, it won’t take long though… No, actually, let’s talk about gardening” are funny.

If, however, that very British sense of humour is not your cup of tea, then you might want to keep your hands off!
