Pauline Eyre: Anyone For Tennis?

Comedy Doors: 6:45 pm Show Starts: 7:30 pm

Advance Price: £17

A Wimbledon line judge for 20 years, comedian Pauline Eyre is ready to spill the Pimms on tennis gossip from the fragrant royal box to the musty locker room, and why line judges are OUT!

Expect smashing stories, ace anecdotes and a 40-love letter to the game.

And there’s nobody to say ‘quiet please’.

She cannot be serious… can she?

“Laughs aplenty… juicy locker room secrets… naughty line judge-y anarchy…motivational joy… Nice.”  – ★★★★★ Northwestend

“What makes the hour land is the marriage of insider authority and properly honed comic timing. It’s not just a love letter to a game; it’s a blueprint for turning an obsession into a well-structured, laugh-out-loud show.”  – ★★★★ One4Review

‘She’s warm, wonderfully funny and you’ll want to be her pal’ – Angela Barnes.

‘10 out of 10’ – Gyles Brandreth (THE Gyles Brandreth!!)

Fresh from sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
