Anticipating Hindsight / Before and Dafter

I’m currently writing two new shows! “Anticipating Hindsight” is for general adult audiences, and “Before and Dafter” is a show for children and families. These will both tour from May 2027, and are now available for booking. Yippee!!! Here’s the tour pack:

For “Anticipating Hindsight”, you can see some highlights from the work-in-progress performance below – recorded live at Cambridge Junction Theatre in July.

“A Noise Annoys at Christmas”

I’ll be putting my new show development on the back burner for a few weeks in December to tour the Christmas version of “A Noise Annoys” (my award-nomination children’s/family show) to Primary Schools, theatres and libraries in East Anglia and the Fens.

This show was commissioned by Landmark Theatres, and premiered in the Key Theatre, Peterborough and Landmark, Ilfracombe for Christmas 2025. You can watch the trailer below, and there’s a tour pack to download, if you would like to book me for your school.

“A Noise Annoys”

I toured “A Noise Annoys” – my debut children’s/family show – from May 2025 to May 2026. We performed in 33 venues around the UK, including theatres, festivals, libraries and community venues. As well as getting rave reviews (see below), the show was nominated for Best Kids Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival in February 2026.

Reviews and opinions

“A Noise Annoys really lifted my spirits in a way I wasn’t expecting. With well pitched puns, joyfully chaotic songs and poems that play, I was captivated the whole way through. My 9 year old kept giving me meaningful looks through his laughter so I enjoyed him enjoying it, and getting carried along with Jude’s brilliant energy and lyrical magic.” – Abbi Jinks for Bedford Today (for full review see here)

“ The show was full of whimsy and joy, and the audience – young and old – loved it.” – Elena, Festival Organiser

“A Noise Annoys is a really wonderful show for anyone but especially children and families. It delights in the joy of words, story and music, which Jude blends so skillfully to create a hugely enjoyable piece.” – David Durant, Associate Director, The Courtyard, Hereford

“Jude performed her show and ran a workshop for our disabled or neurodivergent performing arts students at Bedazzle…  The show was fabulously fun for everyone – students especially loved the quirky music, and witty visual jokes alongside verbal puns.  Some students compared the humour to Harry Hill or Dave Gorman, I would liken it to Victoria Wood and Pam Ayres, but I think it’s clear that Jude stands out as an impressive, hilarious entertainer, as well as a kind, inquisitive workshop facilitator”  – Chloe – drama tutor, Bedazzled Arts 

“A cross between Nick Cope and Miranda!” 

“Witty, engaging, fun, imaginatively clever.”

“I loved it!  Great poetry and audience interaction!”

“Very sensory. Fun with jokes. Educational and immersive.”

“I loved how interactive it was, making poetry more accessible to a young audience”
