Enjoy a feast of fun with the uproarious Waiting for Gateaux at Blackpool's Grand Theatre from Monday 30th June to Saturday 5th July starring Sally Bankes ( Fat Friends, Titty Bang Bang! and Where The Heart Is), Joanne Heywood (Coronation Street's Miss Finn) and Iain Stuart Robertson ( ITV's The Bill).
Mo-tivators is the worst health and fitness club in the country. Run from a small hall in the middle of nowhere by Maureen (Fat Friends' Sally Bankes) a 'big-boned' fifty-something widow, it only attracts clientele who have nothing better to do. It's really just an excuse to meet friends, chat and eat cake, but sadly the deluded Maureen doesn't quite see it like that.
Jackie comes to get away from her philandering husband and she's started to bring her young sister Whitney along to keep her out of trouble - she didn't really mean to steal that car… it was just a bit of fun. Donald (The Bill's Iain Stuart Robertson) comes because he secretly loves Maureen. He's lost 12 stone so far - if he doesn't ask her out soon there'll be nothing left of him!
Things seem to be on the up when Sophie (Coronation St's Joanne Heywood), a researcher for a reality TV programme, comes to check out the club. But when a freak snowstorm arrives it brings with it revelations which will change their lives forever in this riotous comedy about friendship, frostbite and French fries.
Waiting for Gateaux is the latest hilarious hit from the wickedly witty pens of Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood - two of the UK's most successful comedy writers who brought Dirty Dusting to the Grand. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
