Cally Beaton Bumps Into Ludlow Ahead Of Fringe Shows

Surprise Encounter In Ludlow

Cally Beaton delighted fans this week when she posted a spontaneous snap from Ludlow, Shropshire. The comedian revealed she’ll be performing at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Friday 19th September—but it was the unplanned bump-in that stole the spotlight.

In her Instagram caption she wrote, “Look who I bumped into in Ludlow! I’ll be playing @ludlowassemblyrooms on Friday night 19th September but long before then there’s lots happening… Tickets via callybeaton.com or link in bio!” While details on the mystery meet-up remain under wraps, the post’s two images show Beaton grinning beside a local bookshop and later outside a cozy pub mural.

Fringe Cambridge Work In Progress

Ahead of her Ludlow date, Beaton is testing new material at Fringe Cambridge. She’s lined up two work-in-progress shows at the Bill Murray pub: Sunday 25th May at 5.10pm and Wednesday 28th May at 6.30pm. With only a couple of seats left, fans are advised to book early if they want to be in bed by 8.30pm.

“Work in progress shows are my favorite way to experiment,” Beaton told Angel Comedy in a recent interview. “You get real-time feedback and sometimes the funniest lines come from the audience reacting unexpectedly.” Tickets are available via her website or the link in her bio.

Looking Ahead To Ludlow Assembly Rooms

Ludlow Assembly Rooms marks another stop on Beaton’s busy UK tour. Known for blending sharp social commentary with personal anecdotes, she’s built a loyal following since her 2017 appearance on BBC’s Live at the Apollo. This September date rounds out a season that’s taken her from Brighton’s Brighton Fringe to Manchester’s Comedy Festival.

“Ludlow has a reputation for being wonderfully welcoming,” said Beaton. “I’m looking forward to trying out some new sketches on a fresh crowd.” The Assembly Rooms stage, which has hosted music, theatre and comedy for decades, will see Beaton deliver an evening of stand-up focused on life in mid-career, parenthood, and the perils of online dating.

Balancing Tour Life And Home

Offstage, Beaton keeps fans updated on her family life via Instagram. In a recent post she shared an emotional moment saying, “Spot the difference. Just waved my littlest goodbye off back to her life in Madrid. Proud of and happy for her as I am, never gets any easier. Back to just two-hands at the piano for foreseeable. Unless Jeff ups his game. #mum #daughter #piano #emptynest” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxQTw4s_D_/).

Another snapshot shows her travel companion Jeff, a wire-haired dachshund, eyeing her roadside coffee stop warily. “He’s always dubious when I stop for petrol that I might leave him forever,” she joked in the caption (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJh3JvdsKuA/). These glimpses give fans a sense of the personal rhythms behind her onstage energy.

Between parenting duties and a loyal four-legged sidekick, Beaton’s schedule remains packed—yet she says these posts remind her why she tours. “Getting back on stage after a family day keeps me honest. It’s important to carry real moments into the comedy room.”

Whether you’re drawn by the promise of fresh sketches or just want to see Beaton’s next unscripted encounter, tickets for her upcoming shows are selling fast. From intimate pub gigs in Cambridge to a headline night in Ludlow, the tour reflects a performer at ease with both headliners and work-in-progress.

In the coming months, fans can look forward to more regional dates, podcast appearances, and perhaps another surprise roadside greeting. Beaton’s blend of warmth and wit continues to win new audiences—and she’s always ready for that unexpected bump-in along the way.
