Tired and Tested online star talks about turning 30
Sophie McCartney – the comic who came to prominence via her ‘Tired and Tested’ online videos – has announced a new tour for 2025.
Her new show, One Foot In The Rave, talks about turning 40 and being reluctant to give up her big nights out, but also accepting that ‘getting you bra and make-up off by 9pm’ also has its appeal.
She will play 48 dates, starting at the Old Fire Station in Carlisle on February 26.
McCartney whose material often revolves around being a mum-of-three. said: ‘I’m so excited to be heading out on tour again, if nothing else – so I get four nights a week in a hotel room on my own.
‘This show is really close to my heart, and whether you’re at the same stage of life as me, a little further on, or worried about getting anywhere near middle age – I want you to leave thinking "Wow, it’s really not that bad… and also, salmon sperm under the eyes…who knew?!’"
‘The energy of the last show was incredible, and this time I’m going one slippered step further. I like to think of myself as the ultimate instigator of the mum’s night out. So sort your babysitter, sink some prosecco, and I’ll do the rest… apart from hold your hair back.’
Her last tour, Tired and Tested, ran last year and early in 2024. Its original 15 dates sold out in less than 24 hours, making it the fastest-selling debut tour for a female comedian ever put on by promoters Live Nation. The tour was ultimately extended to 63 dates in the UK as well as additional shows in Australia and New Zealand,
Tickets for One Foot In The Rave will be available from this Friday.
