Sarah Millican: Outsider – another extra date added on 31st July!

Sunday 31st July 2016

Due to phenomenal demand, Tyne Theatre & Opera House are excited to announce another extra Sarah Millican date on Sunday 31st July. She will now be taking over the theatre’s stage for an incredible 9 nights in 2016.

The hugely popular comedian is already appearing at Tyne Theatre & Opera House across 4 nights in May as part of her Outsider tour with more dates later added on the 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th of July.

In just 7 years Sarah Millican has gone from winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to becoming one of the UK’s most successful and multi-award-winning comedians, who also holds the record as the highest selling female comedian in the DVD market.

Sarah is a natural storyteller who charms the audience through her skillfully delivered gag-packed anecdotes about life’s curiosities. With a track record of three sell out tours and 700,000 combined tour DVD sales to date, the Outsider tour promises to be another critically acclaimed triumph.

Having such a fantastic comedian perform 9 times over the space of a few months is amazing news for Tyne Theatre & Opera House. Since gaining a new lease of life at the beginning of last year with a new company taking over the theatre, things have gone from strength to strength. 2016’s comedy line-up is particularly exciting, with the likes of Dylan Moran, Ed Byrne and Jimeoin gracing the stage.

Theatre Director Joanne Johnson says: “I’m thrilled we are able to add another Sarah Millican date to our programme as the demand was absolutely remarkable, so it gives people who may have missed out on the previous dates another chance to snap up tickets. We expect these tickets to sell very quickly! We love Sarah, and the nine shows she has lined up at the theatre are part of a stellar comedy line-up as we become the go-to venue for big comedy names in the North East.”

Tickets:

Tickets on sale Friday 29th January at 10am and will cost £25 (plus booking fees when booking online and over the phone)

The Tyne Theatre & Opera House Box Office is open 10am-3:30pm Monday to Friday and event days

Returning to her homeland, we are delighted to announce local lass, Jowheretogo favourite, and critically acclaimed comedian Sarah Millican will wow North East Audiences on her new tour.

Sarah Millican

In just 7 years Sarah Millican has gone from winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to becoming one of the UK’s most successful and multi-award-winning comedians, who also holds the record as the highest selling female comedian in the DVD market. This autumn, Sarah will delight her fans as she heads out on the road again for her fourth stand-up tour, Outsider. 

In the past when you put South Shields lass Sarah Millican outside, she asked things like: ‘Why? Where is the taxi? Is that poo? Can we go home?’ and said things like: ‘There’ll be wasps’ and ‘I’ve nothing to sit on.’

These days things have changed; Now Sarah has outside slippers. She can tell a chaffinch from a tit (hey), but she still can’t tell if it’s an owl sound or her husband’s asthma.

As well as her success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sarah was also voted the People’s Choice Queen of Comedy at the 2011 British Comedy Awards and has fronted three series of her critically acclaimed BBC2 series The Sarah Millican Television Programme, for which she received two BAFTA nominations. Sarah is also a popular guest on primetime shows such as The Graham Norton Show, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Jonathan Ross Show, Live at the Apollo and The Royal Variety Performance. Her new tour, Outsider, will run for 119 dates, starting this October and finishing in Sept 2016. Sarah’s last tour, Home Bird, was seen by over 200,000 people.

Sarah is a natural storyteller who charms the audience through her skilfully delivered gag-packed anecdotes about life’s curiosities. With a track record of three sell out tours and 700,000 combined tour DVD sales to date, the Outsider tour promises to be another critically acclaimed triumph.

Back on home turf, Sarah Millican is venturing outside... We suggest you bring a cardie!
