Helen Bauer will tour stand-up show Grand Supreme Darling Princess this autumn.
Described as "a show about embracing your inner dictator", the show will debut at the Edinburgh Festival this August before touring between September and December. A full list of dates is below.
The blurb explains: "Like many women her age, Helen Bauer was raised on a diet of Disney. Disney Princesses. Disney Princes. Disney Princes rescuing Disney Princesses, you get the point. As much as Helen is a Disney fan - and boy, she is - the idea that she should be waiting around a quaint forest clearing, wearing some sort of corseted milkmaid dress and barely half conscious for a handsome but bland man to come and bring her back to life isn't one she's particularly keen on. Helen is ready to take back control."
Bauer says: "Okay, so yes it is messed up that my twin flames are Disney and dictators and YES by now I should do a relationship show but I can't because I still am yet to have a relationship. So in lieu of love, I find love elsewhere and most importantly learn that being able to save myself is more important."
Grand Supreme Darling Princess will be the comic's third full-length show. Her debut filmed stand-up special, has been launched today via 800 Pound Gorilla and will come to YouTube on 13th July. Little Miss Baby Angel Face, first performed in 2019, was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
The blurb for Little Miss Baby Angel Face explains: "Helen Bauer enjoys a drama. She's her mother's daughter, taking a small situation, blowing it up, then getting upset that it's out of her control. Just like all the best reality TV. At the same time, she dreams of being a sweet angel handling any drama with grace. Who doesn't overthink everything and plan for how she will have all eyes on her at the right moment."
