Award-winning comedian, podcaster and best-selling author Sophie McCartney is coming to Chester.

As part of her biggest tour to date with new show One Foot In The Rave, Sophie is preparing to head to Storyhouse with comfy slippers and a glitterball in hand.

Tickets for the May 1, 2025 gig will be available from Friday, September 27, from www.livenation.co.uk/artist-sophie-mccartney-1412491.

Audiences may be familiar with Sophie after she has successfully built up a loyal fanbase online with her hilarious and relatable sketches as ‘Tired and Tested’.

This new show tackles the next stage in Sophie’s life and begins to ask the all-important questions as she enters a new era. What does life look like when you’re too old to be young, but too young to be old? Is it bad if you’re secretly thrilled when a friend cancels plans? Is growing old gracefully really better than a little synthetic help? And is a wild night out really any better than getting your bra and make-up off by 9pm?

Tackling her perimenopausal panic with denial, delirium, and a shot of tequila - desperate for a mad night out, this mum of three, and optimistic raver, is by no means down and out – she’s up and in… watching Netflix.

Sophie McCartney said of the new show: “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.”

Sophie McCartney is a comedian, author, and podcaster. A rising star on the UK comedy circuit and a Funny Women award-winner for Best Comedy Series, she is also the author of two Sunday Times Number One bestsellers:
