Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French announces Perth shows with very rude title

British comedy superstar Dawn French is heading to Perth and she is already shocking audiences before her arrival.

The Vicar of Dibley star has chosen a very unholy name for her comedy shows when she plays the Riverside Theatre for two nights in a row on April 10 and 11.

Explaining why it is called Dawn French is a Huge Twat, the French & Saunders star said: “This show is so named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate.”

The 65-year-old explained: “There have been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun in a spectacular display of twattery.”

The comic is now famous online for Instagram jibberish posts and pulling hilarious faces for her followers.

“I thought I might tell some of these buttock clenching embarrassing stories to give Australian audiences a peek behind the scenes of my work life,” she said.

Pulling no punches she said of her big announcement: “Book early to see the telly vicar lady be a total twat on stage, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”

She previously said of her rude show name: “Well, the title is a little controversial…I don’t know if that’s even printable, but I wanted to call it that because it’s true.”

French told Good Housekeeping: “I’ll show people all these moments – when I’ve sent emails to people who really shouldn’t have seen them, for example – and how they played out in real life.”
