Novello Theatre, Aldwych, LondonWritten by Eclair and Judith Holder, Grumpy Old Women Live 2: Chin Up Britain is the follow up to Grumpy Old Women Live which spent a month at the Lyric theatre in 2006. Both shows evolved from the hit BBC television programme of the same name which involved a group of middle-aged women grumbling about various aspects of modern life.
In this second stage incarnation the testy trio offer tips about coping with Excessive Cleaning Disorder, overcoming menu masochism and combining household chores with safe sex.

On stage she has been seen in The Vagina Monologues, Mum’s The Word and Steaming.

Blake and Peters are both former stars of Coronation Street. Blake’s theatre credits include Wicked at the Apollo Victoria theatre and Noises Off at the National Theatre and West End.
