It was December 2016 and she was getting ready to perform at the Altitude Comedy Festival in Mayrhofen in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the last straw. I was abusing everyone and people were looking at me being an obstreperous, absolute pig.\u201d This was offstage. She did not perform and flew home unpaid and in disgrace. \u201cI\u2019d worked so hard in comedy I realised I couldn\u2019t destroy it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On January 1 2017 she gave up alcohol and has stuck to her New Year\u2019s resolution ever since, crediting The Easy Way to Stop Drinking by <a href=\"\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allen Carr<\/a> (not the comedian) for helping her see the light. In the process she has turned her career and life around. Her latest show Shame Pig, which comes to Soho Theatre this month, is the ultimate public confession, dealing with her chaotic past and putting it very much behind her. It is also extremely funny&#8230;..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button red hvr\" title=\"Read more about 'How to Stop Drinking'\" href=\"\/en-us\/easyway-stop-drinking\/\" target=\"_blank\"
