Janet Street-Porter is heading to The Other Palace in London with Still Off the Leash at 80! for one night on Monday 21 September 2026.
I’ve always liked Janet’s refusal to quietly blend into the background, so this immediately caught my attention — particularly while I’m developing a wider Clarissa After Dark feature around the idea that women don’t have an expiry date.
Latest Update
Janet Street-Porter’s Still Off the Leash at 80! plays The Other Palace Main House on Monday 21 September 2026 at 7:30pm. The venue is currently offering tickets at £31.50.
Overview
The live show looks back across Street-Porter’s colourful life and career as a broadcaster, television executive and newspaper editor, mixing comedy, tragedy, gossip and her characteristically outspoken take on getting older.
Rather than growing old gracefully, the premise is very much about refusing to disappear quietly — which is exactly why it caught my eye for Clarissa’s Corner.

Why See It?
There is something rather refreshing about a show whose starting point is essentially the opposite of becoming quieter and less visible with age.
For me, that makes this more interesting than a straightforward celebrity evening. It connects with a much bigger conversation about women remaining ambitious, funny, stylish, creative, sensual and opinionated at every stage of life — without being told there is an age at which they ought to tone themselves down.
Accessibility
The Other Palace states that its main entrance, both auditoriums and bar are wheelchair accessible. The venue has two accessible toilets and welcomes guide and hearing dogs in the auditorium.
A loop system and radio-frequency system are fitted in the auditorium, and hearing loops are also available at the Box Office. Readers with specific access requirements should contact the venue before booking so arrangements can be confirmed for their visit.
Practical Information
The performance takes place in The Other Palace Main House. Because this is currently a single London performance, it is worth checking live availability directly with the venue before travelling.
