SUMMARY:Sophie McCartney
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s phenomenal 70 date international tour\, award-winning comedian and number one bestselling author Sophie McCartney is back with a brand-new show! \nRecently kicked out of club 18-30\, a new decade now beckons and she DOES NOT BELIEVE IT. Tackling her perimenopausal panic with denial\, delirium\, and a shot of tequila – what does life look like when you’re too old to be young\, but too young to be old? Desperate for a mad night out (as long as she’s home by 9pm)\, this mum of three\, and optimistic raver\, is by no means down and out – she’s up and in… watching Netflix. \nGrab your glow sticks and join Sophie as she embarks on life’s next big chapter with sequins\, snorty laughs\, and a pair of killer orthopaedic heels. \nPre-Show Meet and Greet tickets are available\, which includes a Meet and Greet with Sophie\, a photo opportunity and premium seating.
