- Hello, I am Sarah Millican
and I'm here to let you know
that I am bringing my Bobby Dazzler tour to the North East.
Of course I am.
I can't believe you even questioned it for a second.
Also I had my hair done today.
What an absolute treat!
I was starting to look,
this is how I described it to my hairdresser,
I started to look like an old lion, 'cause it was massive
and mane-like with a lot of grey coming in.
Which I mean, if you can work the grey
and you love your grey, good on you.
But I'm not quite there yet.
And I want it to go back to lies.
It's all lies, my hair is all lies.
Sorry, anyway.
Some of you'll be like, "I thought it was natural.
I'm not gonna follow her anymore."
Okay, bye-bye.
So (laughs)
that's quite an aggressive start, isn't it?
So yes, I am bringing my show to the North East of England.
Many, many shows, many shows.
Before I start, I know that some of you
just want to wait until life is a little bit more
back to normal before you buy tickets for things.
That's totally fine.
Some of you have already bought tickets
and thank you for that.
I'm very much looking forward to there being an audience.
Woo hoo!
Excited.
It's so weird that something that is so much part of you
which it is with every single comedian,
it is what you think of most waking moments.
And 'cause even if you're just,
even if you're on holiday, you're like,
"Was that funny, did I say something funny?
Can I write it down, should I write down?
Should I try it out, is it funny?"
And everything we ever do is in an attempt
to make you guys laugh.
And not being able to do that,
yes, I've done it, I've done a lot of online gigs,
but not be able to do and stand on a stage.
Oh, I can't tell you how excited I am
about standing on a stage again.
I just hope I don't have a little cry.
Think I might have a little cry on the way in
and the way out, but maybe onstage I'll just be funny.
Let's hope, anyway.
So, some people want to wait.
Totally fine.
Some people are like me and they've got their diary
and they'd like to put things in their diary.
They'd like to have things they can count down to
on special apps like I do.
And they just want to have something where they're like,
"Right, you, me and Sandra are all gonna go.
We're gonna have some wine in my house before we leave."
Don't have too much though,
you want to remember the show.
"And we're gonna have an ice cream in the interval.
I'm gonna put me new top on
and I'm going to have a bloody good laugh
so much I'm gonna to do a little wee."
And if that's you, then I am onboard with that.
I will happily provide the jokes to make that happen,
because what I want to do is stand on stage
and see you and Sandra and the other one
who I didn't name, I don't know why,
just having a merry old time.
There's something about,
it's an incredible,
when you stand on a stage and you look out
and everybody's smiling at you
and waiting to laugh and then they laugh
and oh, the noise, the sound.
Anyway, I'm getting a little bit excited
because I have tour dates and preview gigs
and all sorts of things in my diary.
And I'm very excited to get cracking.
So, if you want to wait, totally fine.
If you're the sort of person who wants to buy a ticket,
then here's some information that might be useful to you.
So there are currently one, two, three, four, five, six
seven, eight, nine, 10 dates, 10 shows
in the North East of England.
Let's just get cracking on them.
Thursday the 29th of--
Oh, I'll also tell you which ones are sold out
and which ones aren't, just to give you a bit of a steer
if you are yet to buy your ticket.
Thursday the 29th of July, 2021, so quite soon
is Whitley Bay Playhouse, and that is sold out.
Friday the 30th of July 2021, Whitley Bay Playhouse.
And that is also sold out.
Now, if there's sold out ones, you can contact the venue
and see if they have a returns list,
which has a list you can join
and then if somebody returns their ticket,
because they're an idiot, no, family reasons,
there's loads of reasons.
If they return their ticket, they'll contact the people
on the list to say tickets have become available,
would you like them?
So not all venues do it, but it's worth an ask.
Also, one thing you have to remember is
if you can't get to Whitley Bay,
you might be able to get to Newcastle.
And there are shows in Newcastle
that have tickets available.
Wednesday the 29th of September, 2021
Customs House in South Shields, and that is sold out.
Thursday the 30th of September, 2021
Customs House in South Shields, also sold out.
So same goes for those,
contact the venue in case they have a returns list.
Or, here we go.
Thursday the 12th of May, 2022.
So next year, Newcastle Tyne Theatre.
I mean one of my favorite venues in the whole world.
And there are tickets available.
So if you can't get to,
if Whitley Bay and South Shields are sold out
and you weren't quick enough to get tickets for those,
maybe come to Newcastle.
Have yourself a meal on the quayside,
get yourself a taxi home, treat yourself.
Friday the 13th of May 2022, Newcastle Tyne Theatre.
There are some tickets available, not loads but some.
Saturday, the 14th of May 2022, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Why did I say the full Newcastle upon Tyne?
In case you were thinking I meant Newcastle under Lyme,
which I wouldn't, or Newcastle in Australia,
which I wouldn't because they're not
in the North East of England.
Follow, just pay attention.
14th of May 2022, that's a Saturday,
Newcastle Tyne Theatre, some tickets available.
So some for the Saturday, some for the Friday,
more for the Thursday.
30th of September 2022, Newcastle Tyne Theatre, sold out.
Saturday the 1st of October 2022,
Newcastle Tyne Theatre, sold out.
And Sunday the 2nd of October 2022,
Newcastle Tyne Theatre, sold out.
So get yourself to the May dates
I think is the answer there.
All of this information is on my website.
This is not the only places,
these are not the only places I'm going to on tour.
I'm going all over the UK and Ireland.
So get on my website sarahmillican.co.uk
and you will see a lot of dates
and I can't wait for every single one of them.
And your best place to get tickets from
is either on my website, which is,
we use a ticket agency called See Tickets
or through the venue directly.
Do not go to secondary ticket sites.
Sometimes I get messages from people saying,
"I can't believe your tickets are a hundred pounds."
They're not a hundred pound.
I'm not Elton John.
I don't even know if Elton John's are a hundred pound.
The tickets are 27.50 plus booking fees at the venue
or the ticket agency.
So my website, sarahmillican.co.uk or the venues directly.
We vouch for those
and we can't vouch for everybody else.
Also, if you are international, not in Ireland obviously,
the rest of the world, we are hoping to put some shows on
in different places across the world.
We don't know where and when yet
they're busy being sort of booked and dealt with.
So if you want information about that,
get on my mailing list.
And I don't bother you.
Once a month at most, sarahmillican.co.uk
and I will send you the information as I have it.
And hopefully that won't be too long.
I'm not really sure to be honest
'cause it's still in the planning stages
but I'm very excited to come
to every single one of these dates.
The Bobby Dazzler tour is about to start
on the 1st of July and I can't bloody wait.
I'm so excited.
I've got a new gig bag
and I've had me hair done.
You know, it's, I mean,
I might even have a filling.
I need a filling. I've needed it for about six months.
I've been eating on that side.
I might even have me filling
so I can eat chips after every show
on all sides of me mouth,
what an absolute treat that would be.
You take care of yourselves.
If you can hear a cat in the background
it's because we have to put him in another room
while I record these, because he once climbed up here
and then landed on my head and everything was bleeding.
So he's mewing in the background,
"Why can't I come in and scratch my mam's head?"
Because you can't, because we've learnt once.
Take care of yourselves,
wash your fucking hands. (imitates horn honking)
Lots of love to you all.
And I will see you all on the road.
Take care.
Bye, bye, bye.
