Smash hit comedy Desperate Scousewives is set to head out on its first ever UK tour.
Benidorm star Crissy Rock heads the fabulous all-female cast as Lily in the hilarious show which will play 19 dates at 17 venues between May 13 and June 20, 2026.
Desperate Scousewives: Lily’s Story is written, directed and stars Lynne Fitzgerald. The talented cast also includes Lynn Francis and Samantha Alton.
The fantastic, five-week tour opens in Stockport and will feature at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre on June 16 and 17 before closing out in Camarthen.
In Desperate Scousewives: Lily’s Story, get ready for a riotous, fast-paced comedy following the lives of three, no-nonsense Liverpool women and one nervous newcomer, all navigating life, love, loyalty and lipstick on a tightly knit street.
Susan, Vanessa and Lily dominate the street with their big personalities, big voices and even bigger secrets. But everything is turned upside down with the arrival of Trisha, a single mum from Manchester, thrown into the lion’s den of long-established friendships and fierce loyalty.
Lynne Fitzgerald said: “I’m thrilled to be taking Desperate Housewives on tour
” The plays form a quartet, with each of the characters having their own story, so each show stands alone, yet together they create the full, hilarious world I envisioned.
“When I first wrote the character Lily, I was already a huge fan of Crissy Rock and had been lucky enough to work with her on stage many times over the years.
“I always wrote Lily with Crissy in mind, so to now have her performing Lily on tour is the pinnacle of my writing career.
“I’m also thrilled to be joined by Lynn Francis and Sam Alton who have both performed in Desperate Scousewives over the past 14 years in different roles.
“I’m so happy to have my perfect cast, all with strong comedy backgrounds, bringing these characters to life.”
