They hope to keep Victoria’s legacy alive through the show
Performer Paulus, the brains behind Looking For Me Friend along with Michael Roulston, is paying homage to the comedian and actress who helped him accept his sexuality.
Victoria Wood rose to fame after appearing on the talent show New Faces but is best known for her sketch shows and the sitcom Dinnerladies. The composer had several comedy songs, one of her most famous being The Ballad of Barry and Freda, also known as Let's Do It. Victoria secretly fought cancer after she was diagnosed with the disease four years before she tragically died from it.
He added: “She wore blazers, leather skinny ties, men's shirts, not blouses, trousers, and trainers or pumpers - never a heel. If she was on TV today, I think people would suggest she was in drag at times or at least androgynous but we didn’t use those words in the 80s. We just said that’s Victoria being Victoria. So I think that really had an effect on me.”
