Comedian Tiff Stevenson’s latest stand-up show Mad Man has received swathes of glowing reviews, including five stars in the Mirror, while the The Times listed her as one of the 10 best comics at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
As she prepares to entertain a crowd at Epsom Playhouse on April 21, Tiff shared with us the music, TV, theatre and comedy that entertains her…
MUSIC
The radio station I listen to...
Depends really. I like BBC 6 Music, Absolute Rock & XFM. During the 90's I listened to KISS FM relentlessly
My favourite band...
Too many!
Current bands - Biffy Clyro, Arcade Fire, I recently got into Royal Blood
All-time favourites - probably Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, RHCP, Jeff Buckley or Guns N Roses
The album or song I can't get enough of right now...
I'm revisiting my 90's faves, so Salt N Pepa
My favourite place to hear live music...
My dad used to be manager of Wembley so I've seen some pretty impressive shows at the stadium
My favourite festival memory...
Glastonbury watching Neil Young be jowly and brilliant.
THEATRE AND COMEDY
I always laugh at…
Brooklyn 99 is just laugh out loud funny from start to finish. Amy Schumer's 12 Angry Men sketch, Portlandia and Castrophe are all brilliant too.
In terms of stand-up, lots of the women in the UK are killing it at the moment and that's great to see.
The best play I have seen...
I really enjoyed the recent version of 1984 at The Playhouse
My all-time favourite musical...
That's hard, I have loads - probably Les Mis or Chicago or Little Shop Of Horrors or Phantom...told you it was hard
My favourite place to watch a show...
I like the Royal Court and The Palladium
TV AND FILM
My favourite movie is...
Again impossible. Here is a list of *some* of my favourites across the genres:
Goodfellas, Terminator 2, Romancing The Stone, Dirty Dancing, Mad Max, Fury Road, Inception, Total Recall, Jacob’s Ladder, Anchorman, Bridesmaids, Beatlejuice, Uncle Buck, Coming To America and Dogma
As a kid I loved...
Snowglobes
I'll make a point of staying in to watch...
Brooklyn 99!
