Bridget Jones parody to run at The Other Palace this Christmas

Jodie Prenger and Neil Hurst will return to The Other Palace Studio this Christmas with a new musical parody.

Frigid Jones’s Diary: The Unauthorised Comedy Parody will run from 13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, with a press night on 18 November.

Following Homo Alone in 2024 and Lovers Actually in 2025, Frigid Jones’s Diary is the latest in the venue’s series of festive spoofs. Inspired by the romantic comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary, the show follows Frigid Jones as she navigates a familiar love triangle in a musical comedy packed with live music and festive humour.

Prenger said: “Let’s be honest, it was about time Bridget Jones’s Diary got The Other Palace Christmas parody treatment! This is based on one of the most iconic rom coms of all time and is packed with all of the best bits – love triangles, reindeer jumpers, blue soup and plenty of vodka. Whether you’re a tragic spinster or a smug married, you don’t want to miss Frigid Jones’s Diary: The Unauthorised Comedy Parody this Christmas.”

The show is written by Prenger and Hurst, who previously collaborated on Homo Alone, Lovers Actually, A Very Very Bad Cinderella and Cinderella: A Socially Distanced Ball. Casting and the creative team are to be announced.
