Meera Syal – Vigilauntie
109-113 Westgate Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4AG
Description
Dame Meera Syal joins us to share the hilarious and heartwarming true stories that have shaped her life and work as one of Britain’s most beloved comedy legends. Growing up in the only Asian family in a West Midlands mining village, Meera Syal wanted to take the stage long before anyone was ready to listen.
As one of the creators of Goodness Gracious Me she changed British comedy forever. As the indomitable Granny Ummi she terrified the guests visiting The Kumars at Number 42. She’s topped the pop charts, been a Professor at Oxford, and written a musical with Andrew Lloyd Webber. She’s a Dame, a screenwriter, and the first British Asian novelist to enter the national curriculum. Young Meera always had the stories. Now she has the stage.
