British Comedy Guide, 8th May 2017Why don't the Olivier Awards have a stand-up category?
I was very honoured to be nominated for The Oliviers, and I'm absolutely sure The Red Shoes is a worthy winner of that category. But the reason I think my show was crowbarred into that category is: The Olivier Awards don't have a category for comedy. Well. They do. But it's comedy plays. There is no category for stand-up. Or, if you want to make that broader, one man/woman shows. So that means, for example, no category for Dawn French's beautiful Thirty Million Minutes, which played at The Vaudeville Theatre for ages.
