In Conversation with Dame Joanna Lumley

The Isle of Man Arts Council Annual Lecture 2024 presents "In Conversation with Dame Joanna Lumley" 

As part of their annual lecture series, the Isle of Man Arts Council are proud to announce an evening of conversation with one of Britain's favourite actresses, Dame Joanna Lumley. 

Joanna Lumley's early films include On Her Majesty's Secret Service and two Pink Panther comedies with early television appearances on General Hospital and Coronation Street before becoming immortalised as Purdy in The New Avengers. However, it was her BAFTA-award winning role as the chain smoking Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous which brought her renewed fame with the series proving itself one of the classic sitcoms of British television. 

Since Ab Fab, Joanna has acted in many successful television dramas such as Dr Willoughby and A Rather English Marriage as well as working with Martin Scorsese in the acclaimed The Wolf of Wall Street, Paddington 2 and playing The Queen in the adaptation of David Walliams' Gangsta Granny. 

Joanna is a keen supporter of the Gurkhas, and was the public face of a campaign to provide all Gurkha veterans who served in the British Army before 1997 the right to settle in Britain. 

A documentary maker and author, Dame Joanna Lumley is a British icon who will talk about her career, journeys, life as a 1960s model, success, failure and survival.
