  • "A celebration of and for the female of the species (and all their family and friends who want to buy tickets)"

Cally Beaton is to tour her stand-up show between September and December 2025.

Her promoters explain: "Namaste Motherf*ckers is the new show from Cally Beaton - a celebration of and for the female of the species (and all their family and friends who want to buy tickets). Combining Cally's comedic and storytelling prowess with extracts from her provocative, stereotype-busting book of the same name, the show has at its heart her own story of radical reinvention - from meetings in boardrooms to treading the boards, thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers. A funny show about a deadly serious subject, Namaste Motherf*ckers centres around Cally's manifesto for keeping cool when you're a hot mess.

"The show includes a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may be there too)."

Ahead of the tour, Beaton will release her first book. [st= 8353]Namaste Motherf*ckers: A Modern Manifesto For Keeping Cool When You're A Hot Mess[/st] is set to be published in July 2025. The blurb explains: "Sharing stories and experiences from her own life alongside lessons learned from the many celebrity guests and experts from her hit podcast, Cally gives a fresh, funny and life-affirming look at what it means to be a middle-aged woman who is willing to take a chance, put herself out there and is also willing to fail."

Cally Beaton - Namaste Motherf*ckers: A Modern Manifesto For Keeping Cool When You're A Hot Mess

Cally Beaton - Namaste Motherf*ckers: A Modern Manifesto For Keeping Cool When You're A Hot Mess
By Cally Beaton

A no bullsh*t handbook for midlife female reinvention where the worlds of comedy, boardrooms, self-help and womanhood collide.

Part memoir, part stereotype-defying manifesto, Namaste Motherf*ckers is a funny, empowering, practical book that takes an irreverent look at the author's own story of radical midlife reinvention - taking her from meetings in the boardroom to becoming a stand-up comedian - thanks to a chance conversation with the late, great Joan Rivers encouraging her to make change happen.

Sharing stories and experiences from her career, alongside lessons learned from the many celebrities and experts that have guested on her hit podcast of the same name, Cally challenges at every turn the age-old narrative that women become invisible when they cease to be fertile.

It's also a book about defying the bullshit expectation that midlife women at best maintain (looks, career, relationships), at worst decline. With ambitious thinking and personal development takeouts from her time as a coach, Cally debunks many of the myths surrounding the female of the species and gives a fresh, funny and life-affirming look at what it means to be a middle-aged woman who is willing to take a chance, put herself out there and who is also willing to fail.
