Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware at the Palladium review: A simple and effective crowdpleaser

“I didn’t imagine the first time I’d be onstage at the Palladium would be this way,” an awestruck Jessie Ware told the full house on the first of two nights here. The Brit Award-nominated singer needed a moment to take in the success of the hit foodie podcast she records with her mother Lennie.

Table Manners is a phenomenon. It has attracted over 30 million downloads and guests as big as Sir Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue, who are happy to chat about their eating habits to the gossipy hosts. For this live version the surprise guest was Julian Clary. Not quite as substantial a star, but excellent value when it came to pithy answers.
