Janet Street-Porter Is Off The Leash

One of Loose Women’s most outspoken panellists has announced her biggest ever solo tour. Janet Street-Porter Off The Leash starts in Henley-on-Thames and travels the nation into next year, taking in London, East Grinstead, Worthing, Shoreham and Deal.

From a bolshy child with a Welsh-speaking budgie to a 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, in 2025 she finds herself with a senior railcard and 4 ex-husbands. The nation's favourite pissed-off pensioner brings comedy, tragedy and gossip in equal measure, a tour de force rant against growing old gracefully.  Often imitated but rarely equalled, in the words of her good friend Elton, "the bitch is back"!

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.

She said: “Hold on to your hats! This show will be 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 writer, broadcaster and former editor of The Independent on Sunday, Janet Street-Porter 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’s won numerous awards including Columnist of the Year, the Prix Italia for arts programming and a BAFTA for originality. She continues to write for the National press on a wide range of subjects.

A familiar face on TV shows like Loose Women (for over a decade), she’s 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 also 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!  

Janet Street-Porter Is Off The Leash comes to The Kenton in Henley On Thames on Thu 11 Sept, London’s Greenwich Theatre on Mon 15 Sept, East Grinstead’s Chequer Mead Theatre on Wed 17  Sept, Worthing’s Connaught Theatre on Fri 19 Sept, Deal’s The Astor on Thu 27 Nov 2025 and Shoreham’s Ropetackle Centre on Wed 14 Jan 2026, as part of a UK tour.
