Jenny will be performing a special singalong comedy investigation all about Swedish pop group Abba.
The descriptions says she will go "public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse".
Tickets are usually priced around £15, but a number of tickets have been released for her July 5 show for no cost at all.
Fans can bag themselves a free ticket to her one-hour show and will only need to pay a £4 admin fee.
While those keen to be in the audience can also purchase a ticket for a little as £10, as stated on the website, depending on the day you go.
Although fans may be able to secure themselves a bargain, a show insider said it's not highly unusual that free tickets are given away.
A rep 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."

Watch as The Chase's Jenny Ryan reveals new role away from ITV show
At the time she shared her excitement and nerves about stepping away from her stern quizmaster persona with the new venture.
Speaking to show host Ed Balls on GMB, Jenny explained: "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."
The former MP joked "Tell me about it!", referencing his segue from a political career into presenting.

That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up — not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding. 'We spent years together on Charmed — years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other.' Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon from Charmed both dying from cancer in July almost a year from each other is so wild. May they both rest in peace. 🙏🏽
