Penny Ashton
Entertainer Penny Ashton has been touring the world for over 20 years, and in that time has performed over 1000 solo shows. She has sold out from Edinburgh to Edmonton to Mosgiel, and has represented NZ in Theatresports and performed Slam Poetry at The Glastonbury Festival. Her award winning solo musicals; Promise and Promiscuity (Austen inspired) and Olive Copperbottom (Dickens inspired) have gathered sparkling reviews and happy fans as they go and in 2023 the Court Theatre presented her adaptation of Sense and Sensibility to great acclaim.
She is also an improviser, performance poet, voice over artist, social commentator (including on RNZ’s The Panel), Wedding Celebrant, menopause podcaster with Showy Ovaries, and all round jazz hand enthusiast. Her new Shakespearean solo show; The Tempestuous, debuts in June. Penny wants to acknowledge all the fabulous teachers who encouraged her artistic flair, and recognised that showing off was a possible vocation.
