Kathy Lette, the Australian-born author, screenwriter, journalist, party girl and all-round bonne vivant brings her show GIRL TALK to Edinburgh this August.

‘Girl Talk’ is a psychological striptease taking us all the way from from Puberty Blues to Menopause Blues.

Kathy will titillate the audience with tales of love, lust, men, marriage, pregnancy and childbirth.

The comedienne will also tackle mastitis, sexist bosses, teenage-daughter-wrangling, ageing, toy boys and how she made the Queen laugh.

And not-to-miss anecdotes include hiding Julian Assange in her attic, tongue-kissing Prince William and Close Encounters of the George Clooney Kind.

Kathy also talks poignantly about the trials, tribulations and hilarity of raising a child on the autistic spectrum – from the times Jules came home from school with a sign sticky-taped to his back saying “Kick me I’m a retard” to his success playing Jason on Holby City.

So, grab your girlfriends and come along. Wit, warmth and full-frontal frankness are guaranteed.

Men, attend at your own risqué!
