We are thrilled to announce that comedian, writer and actor Dawn French will be joining us here at the Towers on Wednesday 3 November, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm for a live webchat.
Dawn has appeared in some of the country's most long-running, fave shows including French and Saunders, The Comic Strip Presents?, Vicar of Dibley and most recently, Roger and Val Have Just Got In.
On top of her screen achievements, Dawn's memoir, Dear Fatty, topped the best-selling charts and now her first novel, A Tiny Bit Marvellous, is out and it's more than a tiny bit marvellous that she's joining us for a webchat. Hope you can too, but if you're unable to make it on Wednesday, post your questions here.

Doing something on Sunday Night which I've never done before btw, which is at The Old Vic Theatre in London. I am performing readings from my new book A Tiny Bit Marvellous, with two other actors one of whom is BT Edmonson (Jennifer's daughter).

Am bit nervous so please come along and support me. Signing books at the end.

Reality so tempting...

Just joined this site and this is my very first time on a live web chat thingy... I am feeling the love on here and it's very warm and chocolatey :)

Anyway, Dawn I feel I have a book in me but I just can't find it - anywhere! How do I find it?????

Anyway being as I haven't found it (yet!) I am putting your new book on my pressie list for Xmas in the hope it may inspire a future literary outburst.

Much loves

@BangingNoise

OOOooooh she answered my question! Grin
I think it was Bella or Best. I just saw the cover but I daren't pick it up in case I aged by 20 years. There was a nice picture of you on the front.
If you don't need George anymore, feel free to send him my way...

Thank you very much - we'll check that out. George will turn up at your door at some point in the future, can't be more specific.

London?

Is that in Norfolk?

nameymcnamechange · 03/11/2010 20:26

Dawn, how come you never appear on panel shows like QI, or Have I Got News? I am sure you would make an excellent panellist, a la Jo Brand, and I'd love to see more women on shows like that.

Jenski · 03/11/2010 20:26

My daughter likes hearing you read Kipper's Toybox Smile - I have no idea where the little cd came from though?????

Reggiee · 03/11/2010 20:26

Ohhhh you answered Smile.

Good luck with the book!

LilyBolero · 03/11/2010 20:27

yy, come to Bristol, come to tea at my house, I make a fab chocolate cake, always make one for dh to take into work on his birthday, his workmates are vvv Envy of his cake-making-wife!

vinvinoveritas · 03/11/2010 20:27

If I buy 20 of your latest book and supply many wagon wheels will you stay at MNHQ all week please? You are by far the best webchat guest we have ever had - who needs David Cameron? Dawn for PM!

DawnFrench · 03/11/2010 20:27

@vinvinoveritas

Dawn, my daughter died last year after 2 failed liver transplants.. I want to do something to raise money for the charity and as you are wise, wonderful and hilarious could you suggest what one thing I could do to raise money and I will do that?

Disclaimer: I can't run any further than the kitchen or local wine shop

Sorry to hear that, how bloody awful. A great thing to do is an auction. Get twatty slebs like me to sign items for you to sell. But don't ask the slebs to turn up ? because they just won't.
