Sara Pascoe will perform in Basingstoke next year as part of her UK and Ireland tour.

The tour marks the comedian, author and BBC One's The Great British Sewing Bee host's first tour since 2022.

Her much-anticipated new show, I Am A Strange Gloop, will see her perform at Basingstoke’s The Anvil on November 15, 2025.

She said: "I have grown to depend on touring, not only because of my deep love of performing stand-up, but also to avoid the difficult bedtimes of my unruly children."

The tour will kick off on June 21, 2025, in Ipswich at the New Wolsey Theatre and conclude on March 29, 2026, at the Norwich Theatre Royal.

Through her trademark confessional comedy, Sara will explore a new era in her life.

Gone are the days of self-exploration via sexual safari, instead, this middle-aged new mum must work out who she is while watching Peppa Pig, coated with squashed banana down her jumper and sweet potato in her hair.

Sara has earned critical acclaim for her stand-up, writing, broadcasting and podcasting, with regular TV appearances on shows such as Taskmaster, Live At The Apollo, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Mock The Week.

She has also been announced as part of Prime Video’s Last One Laughing UK, which will air in 2025.

As an author, Sara released her first novel, Weirdo, in 2023, following the Sunday Times Best Selling non-fiction book Sex, Power, Money.

Her breakout book, Animal, combined autobiography with evolutionary history and was developed into the BBC sitcom Out of Her Mind.

Sara is also the co-host, alongside comedian and long-time friend Cariad Lloyd, of Sara & Cariad’s Weirdos Book Club, an audiobook club for people who don’t like wine, or nibbles, or being around other people.

The full UK and Ireland tour will include performances in cities such as London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Dublin.

Tickets for Sara Pascoe's I Am A Strange Gloop tour will go on sale from 10am on November 8, and can be purchased via anvilarts.org.uk/events/sara-pascoe.

This is a chance for fans to see the star's return to the stage after a three-year hiatus.
