Strap in. Helen Bauer doesn’t hold back. From the moment she introduces herself from the wings and arrives onstage, to the moment she delivers her closing message, there is no let up. The comedian puts every fibre of her being into her third full-length show.
Grand Supreme Darling Princess is a painfully open account of Bauer’s relationship issues, romantic and otherwise. At 32 she has never had a boyfriend. Her friends suggest that even in this post-feminist era, men want a woman they can save, and she doesn’t fit the bill. They, in turn, according to the forthright Hampshire-born comedian, are all in relationships with “men called George whose personality is rugby.”
