The Facts
Comedian Tatty Macleod will perform her new show "Things My Mother Did" at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on March 13, 2027. Macleod gained viral fame in August 2025 when a video of her 73-year-old mother digging a trench amassed 25 million views, turning her mother into the internet personality "DIY Liz." In the show, Macleod, now the same age her mother was when she had her, contrasts her own life choices with her mother's to explore whether she is becoming her. Her previous show "Fugue" was named one of Time Out's Ten Best Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and sold out tours across the UK and Europe. Tickets start at £31.
The Signal
The booking underscores Southbank Centre's strategy of programming viral, cross-platform comedians who attract broad audiences. Macleod's success on TikTok, her Substack "Tatty en Terrasse," and an upcoming non-fiction book in 2027 demonstrate how digital fame now drives live theatre sales. For arts venues, such acts offer reliable box-office returns while diversifying programming beyond traditional theatre and music.
