Cally Beaton: Namaste Motherf*ckers at Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury features midlife stand-up, Q&A and meet-and-greet. Book tickets here.
Cally Beaton brings her stand-up show Namaste Motherf*ckers to the Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury, a quick-witted, unapologetic look at life in midlife, drawing on her stereotype-busting book of the same name and her own story of radical reinvention, from boardrooms to the comedy stage.
At the centre of the show is Beaton's account of how a chance conversation with the late Joan Rivers set her on a path from corporate life to stand-up comedy. That personal journey is woven together with material from her book, making the evening part storytelling, part comedy and part provocation, a deliberate pushback against the cultural tendency to render women in midlife invisible.
Known from television appearances including QI and Live at the Apollo, Beaton combines comedic precision with candour. The show is billed as a funny treatment of a deadly serious subject and a celebration of women at this particular stage of life. It previously achieved a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025.
The performance runs for one hour forty minutes and is followed by a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Beaton. There is also a possibility that Jeff the wonder dog may appear. No age guidance is listed for this venue; those bringing younger attendees may wish to note the adult stand-up context and the show's frank, expletive-forward title.
