Becoming Victoria Wood at GFT plus Q & A
Tuesday 13 January, 2026 at 8.20 p.m.
Victoria Wood remains one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers – a comic genius whose work 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, the film uncovers the formative experiences and personal battles that powered Victoria’s unmatched ability to make the nation laugh.
This Scottish Premiere screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director Catherine Abbott. A Glasgow-based Director and Series Producer, Catherine’s credits include Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution, Horizon and Scottish BAFTA-winning documentary imagine…The Academy of Armando. Ashley Storrie, multi BAFTA award winning comedian, writer, actress and radio presenter, will be hosting the Q&A.
