In 1987, after the hit single 'Starting Together' had opened the public's ears to the fact that she could sing, Su toured the UK in The Su Pollard Show.

The tour was a great success and audience reaction inspired Su to create something special as a follow up - her own one-woman-show.

And so, the intriguing and vaguely naughtily titled, A Song, A Frock and A Tinkle was premiered at the Donmar Warehouse soon after.

The show received rave reviews and surpirsed many who had previously only saw Su as Peggy, the ambitious chalet maid, from Hi-De-Hi!
 

After the sell-out Donmar Warehouse performance Su subsequently took A Song, A Frock and A Tinkle on a national tour of the UK, visiting many major cities along the way.

The one-woman-show was a mix of songs, Su-style comedy, jokes and anecdotes, and lots of chat. Plus some audience participation thrown in for good measure. It couldn't fail.

The set comprised of an eclectic mix of old show tunes, musical standards, hit singles, and a few of Su's personal favourites. Su memorably opened the show with 'Let's Hear It For Me' and then proceeded to take her bow, bid everyone "good night", and march off into the wings.

Only to return to the stage moments later; "It's not the end, is it?" Su asked sheepishly to much laughter and cheers from the audience. It most certainly was not! Su went on to entertain, enthrall, and amuse everyone in attendance, as only Su can, for well over two hours.

Jokes were cracked; "What's the difference between Su Pollard and an umbrella?, You can shut an umbrella up!" 'I'm On My Way', 'People', and 'The Healthiest Girl I Know' were all musical highlights from the first act of the show. And Su rounded the first section off with a stunning version of 'The Lady Is A Tramp'.
 

Act II began with the classic 'You Never Done It Like That' and 'Crazy World', and continued with lots more chat and fun - oh and a song or two too. 

Su then demanded a bit of audience participation and wheeled on a huge screen of singalong words on the offchance that someone didn't know the words.

And all too soon it was over, with Su closing the show with the trilogy of 'Starting Together', 'I Think I Like You' and 'My Memories'. 

All that was left was for Su to be presented with a huge bunch of flowers, to, this time for real, take her final bow, and exit stage left!

The fond memories of Su's A Song, A Frock and A Tinkle still linger for Su and her fans some fifteen years after the event. Who knows, maybe one day she will relaunch her one-woman-show on an unsuspecting Su public! If there is a possibility of this, be sure that SuOnline will let you know first - watch this space closely!!
