BECOMING VICTORIA WOOD

Fri 9 - Sat 10 & Sat 17 Jan 2026, Stamford Arts Centre film

Becoming Victoria Wood is a vivid documentary portrait uncovering the formative experiences and personal battles that powered Wood’s unmatched ability to make the nation laugh.

Dir: Catherine Abbott | UK | 2025 | 90 mins | Documentary

Victoria Wood remains one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers, a comic genius whose gentle, yet biting style reshaped the landscape of British humour. But behind the joyous persona – the singer, the satirist, the sharp-witted writer – lay a young woman navigating insecurity, anger and self-doubt.

Told in her own words and through the voices of those who knew her best, featuring never-before-seen archive material and contributors including Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Maxine Peake and Michael Ball, Becoming Victoria Wood is a vivid documentary portrait uncovering the formative experiences and personal battles that powered Wood’s unmatched ability to make the nation laugh.
