Beware! Loose Woman legend, author and TV personality Janet Street-Porter is still off the leash at 80! Live and Uncensored…Back on tour in 2026 and 27!
Loose Women’s most outspoken panellist is celebrating turning 80 by announcing her biggest solo tour to date - Janet Street-Porter Is Still Off The Leash At 80! The dates started this past September in Sevenoaks and is going through to 22nd April 2027 in Coventry.
From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to a reluctant National Treasure, Janet Street-Porter's life (and language) has always been colourful. As a broadcaster, television executive and newspaper editor she was at the forefront of some of Britain's most enduring cultural moments. Now she finds herself on the cusp of turning 80 and so her agent has decided he needs to milk this cash-cow while he can.
Armed with a senior railcard and a fifth husband in tow, the nation's favourite pissed-off pensioner is back on the road bringing comedy, tragedy and gossip in equal measure, a tour de force rant against growing old gracefully. Experience Janet Street-Porter live and undiluted where she talks about her remarkable passions and numerous dislikes! The audience will also have the chance to ask Janet questions about her incredible life.
“Hold on to your hats,” she says. “This show is pretty cathartic for me - a deep dive into the subjects that can be hard to chat about truthfully on live television …from my tormented relationship with my mum to what really happens when a relationship runs out of steam. I'll be brutally honest about the highs and lows of a helter skelter life well lived. And it's not over yet!”
A former editor of ‘The Independent on Sunday,’ Janet originally studied architecture, before starting her journalistic career in her early twenties as a columnist and fashion editor, moving into television and radio as a presenter and a senior executive at the BBC. She has won numerous awards including Columnist of the Year, the Prix Italia for arts programming and a BAFTA for originality and she continues to write for the National press on a wide range of subjects. In 2016, she was awarded a CBE for services to the Media, and appears regularly across all TV channels including ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ (for over a decade) and has presented television series on subjects as diverse as contemporary British art, walking, cooking and architecture, as well as reality shows like ‘I’m A Celebrity...’ and ‘So You Think You Can Teach?’
She has written two best-selling memoirs – ‘Baggage’ and ‘Fall Out’, and two self-help guides with a difference — ‘Life’s Too F***ing Short’, and ‘Don’t Let the B*****ds Get You Down!’ She is a regular panellist on ‘Have I Got News for You’ and has competed in a host of panel games from ‘Weakest Link’ to ‘Pointless’ and ‘Tipping Point’. She has appeared on ‘Masterchef’ twice and hosted many series about food with leading chefs.
And she has commissioned two houses by leading architects and is an honorary fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Beware and be ready. Remember, Janet Street-Porter Is Still Off The Leash At 80!
