A COMEDIAN and Channel 4 Naked Education star is bringing her stand up show to Cheshire.

Maura Jackson, 53, bared all on the show which celebrates body positivity and diversity, discussing her 24 dress size, sex life and menopause.

And as part of a fundraising tour she’s embarked on across the country, she will make a pit stop at The Brindley, Runcorn, to share her hilarious life experiences with an audience.

Her chosen charity to benefit from the proceeds is SHAP, a local charity providing housing and support to young and vulnerable people across Merseyside for more than 40 years.

Maura is an award-winning charity boss by day and comedian by night – bringing her two passions together for this show stopping tour.

As CEO of young homeless charity BACK-UP North West, she has 33 years in social care and over this last 12 months she has taken to using her comedy as a way of fundraising for them.

Maura expressed her excitement at supporting SHAP - as a 'major force in combating homelessness, poverty and disadvantage, promoting social justice, empowering people and building strong, resilient communities’, its values lie close to her own mission at BACK-UP.

Having first person experience dealing with serious issues like domestic violence as well as divorce, heartache and life as a single-mum, Maura has found a sense of survival in learning to laugh at herself.

Now, she shares her telling and often hilarious life experiences with audiences as a stand-up comedian who, in just 12 months, has earned thousands of fans across the country, after she dared herself to do it, facing her fears of performing in public.

“Stand-up comedy initially terrified me, yet here I am selling out my own shows. I believe life is for living and we need to stop worrying so much what others think- I want to bring some of this energy to Runcorn to help others feel spurred on.

Her one-woman show More O’ Me is coming to The Brindley Theatre on Friday September 27 and Maura promises plenty of laughs. The show sold out in Bolton earlier this year with 320 people loving her down to earth and relatable humour.

“I’m a Northerner but I love meeting audiences from all over the UK and I hear people in Runcorn have a good sense of humour - and I’m really looking forward to meeting them” she said.

“I’m promising now that you’ll go away from my show cheered up and with a smile on your face.”
