As I’ve looked ahead at everything else this January, today I’m doing a quick run through what I’ve got tickets for so far this year – as always I do a lot of my buying last minute, but there are a few things that I’ve booked in advance as ever.
Let’s do the theatres first and this week coming I’m catching the very tail end of the run of Backstairs Billy in the West End. It’s a comedy about the Queen Mother and her “most loyal” servant and it has good reviews. Then in March I’m seeing a new version of The Time Machine which had a London run before Christmas and is now out on tour. Then there’s a big gap until July, which is when I’m off to see Imelda Staunton in Hello Dolly!
On the comedy front, there’s a couple in the box already – Rhod Gilbert in April and then Henning Wehn all the way in October. I’ve only got one music gig booked so far – Caravan Palace in April. We saw them in early 2020 in one is the last things we did before the world shut down so I’m looking forward to seeing them again. And finally – we’re off to the Athletics this year too. No not the Olympics, the last event before the Paris Games at the London Stadium in mid July.
And just writing this out has made me realise that I need to get booking some more stuff! There are some more things coming into the West End this year that I should really get the tickets in for.
Quick, someone hide my wallet…
