Just in time for the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, and following a dazzling run of sell-out shows and critical acclaim across two Edinburgh Fringe runs and four Soho Theatre residencies, Rosalie Minnitt has announced a new UK tour of her cult comedy hit, Clementine. Partnering with exciting theatre and comedy producers Liebenspiel, the tour will be stopping off at some of the UK’s most vibrant theatre venues between January and June, 2026. 

In this hysterical, deranged and irreverent period drama parody that meditates on girlhood, romance and everything in between, Lady Clementine has until her 27th birthday to find The One. When her latest beau goes missing, she embarks on a hilariously unhinged quest to solve the mystery of her ill fortune. But with neither sense nor sensibility, will our romantic heroine find love in time? 

With Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights sending the internet into overdrive and Pride & Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility remakes out next year, it’s clear that period drama core is on the rise. Get Charli XCX on the soundtrack and make it comedy? 

Enter Miss Lady Clementine.

Clementine is a kaleidoscopic concoction of historical anachronisms, TikTok sounds and misplaced pop-culture references - Bridgerton for chronically online girlies. More than a clever parody of stuffy English ideals; this innovative show talks about the present through the lens of the past. From singledom and soulless dating apps to womanhood, Clementine asks if we have really moved on all that much - are we still as obsessed with finding 'The One', but do we actually understand what it means to love and be loved?

Creator and performer Rosalie Minnitt says: “Clementine is more than an ode to singledom. Like all good things, it’s messier than that. And funnier. It’s about celebrating the complicated parts of being a woman in 2025. We need comedy to help us talk about the things we can’t seem to articulate or sometimes don’t really want to. I’ve had hundreds of DMs + messages + emails telling me about how Clementine made them feel. Women saw this show multiple times. Then they brought their friends and sisters and mums and aunts. One girl came four times and she wrote to me: ‘if someone asked me why I love women and love being a woman, I’d show them this show’.” 

Rosalie Minnitt is an award-winning comedy writer/performer. She is an alumnus of the Soho Theatre Labs and The Free Association and has written for BBC Radio 4, BBC Bitesize, CBBC, and her work won an RTS North Award in 2023. She’s been featured in The Telegraph, The Times, Stylist and the Guardian and is a regular on the London comedy circuit. Clementine was Rosalie's debut character comedy show at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe - both as a writer and performer - and was officially marked by British Comedy Guide as one of the Top-Reviewed Shows of the Fringe that year. The Telegraph also called it one of the funniest shows of the festival and it was described as 'delirious, demented stuff' by Chortle.

After a sold-out run including two extensions at Soho Theatre, The Guardian named Clementine as one of the Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023, calling it 'one of the freshest and funniest shows of the year, a frenetic, neurotic and time-bending character comedy.' The Guardian also picked out Clementine as one of their cultural picks of 2025 and profiled Rosalie in a major G2 piece (here), and the show was featured on Sky News (watch here).

Earlier this year, as well as the first leg of her UK tour, Rosalie appeared in Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Jordan Brookes’ run of his acclaimed show Fontanelle at Soho Theatre and, on screen. More recently, in September, Rosalie was the winner of Funny Women Comedy Shorts Award and, in October, appeared in the spoof Alan Partridge documentary, Alan Partridge: How Are You?

Rosalie and Clementine will be back at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2026 with a brand new show. Meanwhile, she will be reprising her popular cabaret night, Clementine and Friends, at The Pleasance in London on Wednesday, 10th December.
