Award-winning comedian, podcaster and best-selling author Sophie McCartney has announced her biggest tour to date, One Foot In The Rave.

Her promoters say: "After a record-breaking debut international tour in 2023/4, Sophie is preparing to head out across the UK with comfy slippers and a glitterball in hand.

"Audiences may be familiar with Sophie after she has successfully built up a loyal fan base online with her hilarious and relatable sketches as 'Tired and Tested'. This brand-new laughter-packed 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 you bra and make up off by 9pm?

"Recently 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 - 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. Grab your glow sticks and thermals and join Sophie as she embarks on life's next big chapter with sequins, snorty laughs, and a pair of killer orthopaedic heels."

Sophie McCartney says: "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 baby sitter, sink some prosecco, and I'll do the rest... apart from hold your hair back."

Sophie McCartney - Tired And Tested: The Wild Ride Into Parenthood

When it comes to adult life, and parenthood, you will never be ready. So what happens when you hit your mid-thirties and still feel like an out-of-depth teen trapped in the slightly sagging skin suit of a tired and tested mother of two?

Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she shares her journey from wild child to with child ... a never ending exercise in expectation vs reality (and the cleaning up of bodily fluids) she voyages deep into difficult and unchartered territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper nest of the school WhatsApp group.

Overwhelmed by love, but exhausted by life, and with no idea if the 'five-second rule' applies to hummus, she, like most of us, has 100% NOT 'got this' - unless, of course, referring to parasitic organisms.

With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you've had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there's joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood. Welcome to the jungle.
