5 Reasons to See Rosalie Minnitt’s Clementine 2 at Soho Theatre and on Tour

Saturday 14 November 2026

Character comedy sensation Rosalie Minnitt is taking Clementine 2, the acclaimed sequel to her hit show Clementine, on a UK tour in spring 2027. Presented by AEG and Rosalie Minnitt, the tour includes five nights at Soho Theatre‘s Main House in London from 2 to 6 February 2027. After a sensational Edinburgh Fringe run, the show then heads to Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Oxford, Birmingham and Brighton. Here are five reasons to book.

1. Lady Clementine is back by overwhelming demand (hers)

Following an epic quest to find her true love (spoiler: it was her all along), Lady Clementine is escaping her small town and heading off to The Big City for the season. But with neither sense nor sensibility, will history’s most helpless heroine make her mark and take the world by storm? In this second chapter, audiences follow Lady Clem, at a safe distance, as she takes on high society, scandal and, most terrifying of all, self-awareness. Beneath the chaos is a story about legacy, rivalry and not being quite where you want to be in life. The show’s own pitch: “Think Gen Z Jane Austen on Adderall.”

2. The reviews are glowing

Clementine 2 enjoyed a plethora of four and five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe in August. The Guardian called it “an absolute blizzard of character comedy that confirms Minnitt as a writer / performer in the vanguard”, while The Times gave it four stars, describing it as “a riot of invention … Minnitt throws herself into the role with lip-smacking relish and true command.” The List said “Clementine 2 is an absolute riot. Enough hilarity for everyone.” Five-star Freshair Radio hailed “a standout piece of Fringe comedy: sharp, witty, and delivered with exceptional control”, and Broadway World praised its “wit, invention and sheer comic commitment”.

3. It follows a cult hit

The original Clementine was Rosalie’s debut character comedy show at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe, and went on to enjoy two Fringe runs, four London runs and two UK tours. The Guardian named it one of the Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023, calling it “one of the freshest and funniest shows of the year, a frenetic, neurotic and time-bending character comedy.” The Telegraph called it “an absolutely barnstorming performance”, while Time Out found it “hilarious, engaging, and heartwarming.” If you missed it, Clementine is now available to watch through Go Faster Stripe, giving you the perfect chance to catch up before the sequel.

4. A show that has struck a chord with women

Clementine has been described as “a fantasia on feminism and female identity through the ages” and “one of the great characters in recent live comedy … wickedly relevant to young women’s lives today”. Summing up the character’s allure, Rosalie Minnitt says: “Clementine celebrates the complicated parts of being a woman in the 2020s. I’ve had hundreds of DMs + messages + emails telling me about how Clementine made them feel. Women saw this show multiple times. Then they brought their friends and sisters and mums and aunts.” She adds that one fan came four times and wrote: “if someone asked me why I love women and love being a woman, I’d show them this show”.

5. Rosalie Minnitt is a rising comedy star

An alumnus of the Soho Theatre Labs and The Free Association, Rosalie has written for BBC Radio 4, BBC Bitesize and CBBC, and her work won an RTS North Award in 2023. She appeared in the spoof Alan Partridge documentary Alan Partridge: How Are You? in October, and her Radio 4 special, Lady Clementine’s Looking for Love, was broadcast on Valentine’s Day. She also co-wrote the BBC Bitesize series Literally with BAFTA-winning clown and actor Luke Rollason. A Funny Women Awards winner in 2025, she also won the Funny Women Comedy Shorts Award in September, and is well known for her viral video sketches.
