The Chase's Jenny Ryan gives away free tickets to her London comedy show

The Chase star Jenny Ryan is offering fans the chance to attend her brand new comedy show in London for free.

Jenny, who is best known as The Vixen on the hit ITV quiz show, will be performing at The Pleasance Theatre in Islington throughout July and August. Fans will be delighted by the news that a limited number of free tickets are now available for her performance on July 5.

Her upcoming show, which is called Björn Yesterday, has been described as a "special singalong comedy investigation" exploring the world of iconic Swedish pop group ABBA.

The official description teases that she will go "public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse". The tickets for her show are typically priced at around £15, but a select number of tickets for the preview show are being released at no cost, meaning fans only need to cover a £4 admin fee.

Theatre-goers can also snap up tickets for other dates for as little as £10, depending on the performance. A show insider pointed out that it is not unusual for a star to release free tickets during preview season.

A spokesperson for the show told The Sun: "Often in hot weather for preview shows, if they're not completely sold out, it is standard practice to offer some complimentary tickets."

Björn Yesterday is a continuation of Jenny’s journey into the world of live performance after her Out of the Box tour last year. That show made its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe before touring around the UK until November.

Speaking about the challenges of breaking out of her quizmaster persona, Jenny told Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls: "We took the show to Edinburgh Fringe last year really on sort of a whim. It's a big risk to take something like this, as presenters know, after a stern role and you try something new. It's a bit of a challenge for people to change their expectations and perceptions of you."

When co-host Ranvir Singh asked whether it might be tough returning to The Chase after revealing her more personal side, Jenny responded: "Putting myself out there to show a softer side of me, putting everything out there, my background, everything… was a bit of a risk. But we sold out [at the Fringe] and we got such excellent feedback."

On top of her new comedy ventures, Jenny is also preparing to star in this year’s Sleeping Beauty pantomime at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon, where she'll take on the role of villainous fairy Carabosse. She will be performing alongside David Ashley and UK Pantomime Award nominee Ben Goffe.

The show will run from December 6, 2025 to January 4, 2026, with Jenny sharing her excitement on social media saying: "I am thrilled to be coming to Swindon this Christmas to appear in Sleeping Beauty. I have heard how wonderful Wyvern Theatre audiences are so I can't wait to get started. I know that we are going to have a lot of panto fun and I look forward to hearing everyone booing loudly!"
