- Hello, I am Sarah Millican.
And I just thought I'd do a little video,
I'm not very good at videos,
I'm not one of those...
you know those people who just like go Instagram live
while they're walking down a street.
(Sarah laughs) I just feel too self-conscious.
So I am recording this just after being on a Zoom gig,
So I've got my hair...
it's the one time of the week that
my hair and makeup are actually done.
I just wanted to...
(Sarah laughs)
Okay, so caveat...
that's my first bit of paper says, "Caveat."
If you're the sort of person
who wants to wait until all of this is all over
before they book anything or sort anything out,
totally fine, totally get it, makes a lot of sense.
But if you're like me, and you're the sort of person
who likes having something to look forward to,
even if it's at the end of the year,
or maybe even next year,
then there are tickets available for my tour.
Very excited, I've been writing it for the last two years.
(Sarah sings) I can't wait
to be out on a stage in front of you.
All I want is for you all to be safe and comfortable
when you come along to the shows.
I'm very excited to see you all.
And when you come, or if you decide to wait
and buy tickets much later down the line,
totally fine as well.
So caveat, done.
(papers rustling)
Now, introduction.
(Sarah laughs)
I'm so fluid.
"I'll just chat to my friends while I'm..."
(Sarah laughs) "walking down the street."
Can't do it.
My geography is crap.
So what I've decided to do is, kind of, improve my geography
and try my best to group the tour dates together
to give you a hand in...
because there's a lot to go through...
in working out when you could come, and the dates,
and which ones are sold out, and which ones aren't.
And so I'm going to start with countries in
the UK and Ireland.
And then I'm going to... once we get to England,
I'm going to do counties, which I am shit at,
because I don't really...
who knows where Hampshire is?
I don't, I don't know.
I just put things in the Sat Nav
and the lady tells us where to go.
So first up,
Wales.
Now, Wales anecdotes. (Sarah laughs)
I'm going to tell you some Wales anecdotes.
Whenever I go to Aberystwyth,
actually it's anywhere coastal,
I always have to have fish and chips. Rule.
It's a good rule to have on tour,
on such a small collection of island,
that has a lot of coastline and a lot of cities,
and towns, on coastlines.
My dog loves Cardiff, that's just a fact.
He gets... I don't know how he knows that we're in Cardiff,
but he gets really excited and he runs around.
And he doesn't normally run through long grass,
but he runs through long grass in Cardiff.
(Sarah laughs)
Once on the drive from Manchester to Swansea and back,
obviously a gig in the middle, wasn't just for japes.
I was in a car with my friend, comedian, Dave Twentyman,
who... we didn't have any tapes or anything,
and he had a fancy thing that meant I could play stuff
off my... it would have been, not an iPod,
well like an MP3 player.
And I newly had a Best of George Michael
and we played the whole thing back and forward and sang,
and it was glorious.
It's a really good memory for me of my gigging years.
And whenever I used to do Cardiff gigs,
The Glee, anywhere like that,
I always used to go on Rhod Gilbert's radio show.
And we always did this thing
where he would tell our listeners...
we would pick an artist or a singer and he...
we'd both pick a song and we'd get the listeners to vote.
And I would always pick the super cheesy song,
and he would always pick like the really clever song,
the really good song, that everybody likes.
(Sarah laughs) I would always pick the massive cheesy one.
So, for example, we did Stevie Wonder,
he picked "Superstition".
Why not? It's a classic.
And I picked "Part-Time Lover."
And every single time his audience,
or his listeners, always voted for his.
And I always thought,
"Someday I'm going to have a radio show
and I'm going to play loads of shit on it."
Now, so Wales,
by my calculation, I've gone through the whole tour,
there are 13...
Oh, I've got the pages the wrong way round.
There are 13 shows on my tour in Wales.
The first one, so is
Saturday, the 31st of July...
This is just going to be some...
If you don't live in Wales,
you could probably just stop it now.
But if you do, (fingers clicking)
listen up, this is for you.
Saturday, the 31st of July, 2021, The Hafren in Powys.
(Sarah whispers) Have I said that right? I don't know.
That one is sold out, but on the sold out ones,
if you really can't truly get anywhere else,
you can always contact the venue and see if they've got
a waiting list that you can join.
And then if somebody can't come, last minute,
they can try to contact you and let you know that
there's tickets available.
Saturday, the 6th of November, 2021.
This is...
I'm in Llandudno at venue...
(Sarah whispers) I don't know how to say it.
It looks like Cymru, but that can't be right.
Would somebody tell me in the comments,
phonetically how you say it, so I don't...
I've been going there for years,
but I would just say Llandudno
and I wouldn't know how to say the venue.
That one is also sold out,
but there's another date coming up,
so hang on if you live there.
Sunday, the 7th of November, 2021, Aberystwyth Art Centre.
Fish and chips.
There are tickets available,
and fish and chips available.
Wednesday, the 17th of November, 2021,
Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl.
There are a few tickets left, not many, but a few.
Wednesday, the 15th of December, 2021,
Princess Theatre, Port Talbot.
And there are tickets available for that, and the same,
Thursday, the 16th of December, next night,
Princess Theatre again, Port Talbot,
and there are tickets available for that as well.
Page two.
(bugle sounds)
Friday, 17th of December, 2021,
Lyric Theatre, Carmarthen, sold out, sorry,
but contact the venue, blah, blah, blah.
15th of December, it's a Friday, 2022.
What?
William Aston Hall, Wrexham.
There are tickets available.
And also, one of my Google searches of today is,
(Sarah whispers) "Is Wrexham in Wales?"
My geography is terrible.
Honestly, I did six years of humanities at school,
neither geography, nor history, just colored in Romans.
Thursday, the 21st of July, 2022, Swansea Grand.
Glorious, glorious Swansea Grand.
And the same, the next night,
Friday, the 22nd of July, 2022, Swansea Grand.
Tickets are available for both of those.
Saturday, the 23rd of July, 2022,
St. David's Hall in Cardiff.
Little thing to tell you about...
(Sarah laughs) St. David's Hall in Cardiff.
The first time I played there,
(Sarah whispers) they're so lovely, the staff was so lovely.
They gave me an Easter egg, this ginormous Easter egg.
It was around Easter, it wasn't that weird.
And I came in really late that night
and just dropped all my bags off in the conservatory.
I don't know why, but I did.
And I woke up the next day and I thought,
"My Easter egg's gone." (Sarah laughs)
And it hasn't, it had just melted down,
and then it was just like a thick wedge of chocolate.
Still ate it with a spoon, it was delicious.
And also Sunday, the 24th of July, two nights there,
then July, 2022, St. David's Hall in Cardiff.
Tickets available.
You go on my website, sarahmillican.co.uk.
And I'm going to put all of this information
in the text below as well, so it's easy to refer to.
13 shows in Wales,
Wales is always a glorious audience.
Because if they... (Sarah laughs)
when you see them afterwards, if you bump into anybody,
or if anybody wants to tell you how they felt
about your show, which is somethings quite scary,
they always say,
(Welsh accent) "Fabulous."
And it just makes you feel amazing.
So I'm very much looking forward to all of those shows,
fish and chips, or no fish and chips.
So I will continue to do these, if you like them,
if you think it's informative and helpful and fun to watch,
then I will continue to do these for
the different places I am touring.
Thank you very much for watching.
Take care of yourselves.
Wash your fucking hands.
Lots of love.
And shall we just do a horn for old times sake?
(horn sounds twice)
That's.. oh, it's a bit rusty, I haven't done it in a while.
I'll get better, I'll warm up.
Lot's of love, bye, take care, bye.
So here is all of that information,
including one addition and one correction.
Correction, I said it was
Friday, the 15th of December, 2022 for Wrexham.
It is not,
it is Friday, the 15th of July, 2022 for Wrexham.
And there are tickets left.
And also, I forgot to tell you about
the second Llandudno date, because I am an idiot.
And that is Saturday, the 6th of August, 2022.
And there are tickets available.
Come and see me lovely Welsh folk.
Bye.
