Becoming Victoria Wood

Victoria Wood remains one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers – a comic genius whose work reshaped the landscape of British humour.

Told in her own words and through the voices of those who knew her best, Becoming Victoria Wood uncovers the formative experiences and personal battles that powered Wood’s unmatched ability to make the nation laugh.
