We’re thrilled to welcome Welsh actor and national treasure Joanna Page to Penarth to celebrate the publication of her memoir, 'Lush!' – a funny, candid and endlessly surprising account of her journey from Swansea to stardom.
We can't promise that you'll find out what happened on *that* fishing trip, but we can guarantee an unforgettable and totally lush night out!
From a small village on the outskirts of Swansea to the sets of Love Actually and Gavin & Stacey, Joanna Page’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In this heartfelt memoir, Joanna shares her story in full for the first time – from awkward early auditions and chasing her big break, to falling in love, motherhood, and emotional farewells to beloved roles.
We're expecting this to be a very popular event, so book early to avoid disappointment!
JOANNA PAGE: Born in Swansea and later attending her local comprehensive school, Joanna went on to graduate from RADA in 1998. She spent a decade performing on stage with the Royal National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company, before landing roles in major films such as 'From Hell', 'Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger', and Richard Curtis' 'Love Actually'. Joanna became a household name as Stacey Shipman in the BBC’s much-loved comedy 'Gavin & Stacey', appearing in all three series, the 2019 Christmas special, and the final ever episode in 2024, which became the UK’s most-watched scripted show since records began.
Alongside her acting career, Joanna regularly appears on TV as a presenter, most recently fronting 'Joanna Page’s Wild Life' for the BBC. When she’s not working, she’s at home with her husband, actor James Thornton, their four children, two dogs (Lola and Bess), and four guinea pigs.
'Lush!' is her first memoir.
