Micky Flanagan has had a colossal year, with his hugely successful ‘If Ever We Needed It’ breaking records left, right and centre in some of the biggest venues in the UK, including Birmingham, Bournemouth, and London’s The O2. But, he’s only just getting started.
Starting next month and continuing until November, Micky will be hitting the road once again, embarking on an extended tour that will take him across the country. With shows in Woking, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Leeds, Hull, Brighton, Cardiff and 10 shows at London’s prestigious Lyric Theatre in the heart of the West End.
Micky Flanagan says: “I loved doing the shows earlier in the year, so much so I’m back out this autumn in new venues and returning to some of my favourites where people couldn’t get tickets first time round. I’m also excited to be back at the Lyric Shaftesbury Avenue an intimate venue I first played over 10 years ago.
“Looking forward to it so much I’m doing Saturday matinees, so I’ll be double busy!" The show covers Micky turning 60 - who’d have thought it? - as well as having sex with your glasses on, his school alumni and his ballbag. It’s fair to say it’s for over-16s.
He’s the man who gave Britain the “Out Out” phrase, which was used by Piccadilly Circus tube to put a smile on commuters’ faces as we came out out of Lockdown and went on to be used by TFL to encourage people back into theatres, restaurants and clubs. Micky cut his comedy teeth at these clubs and it clearly paid off. His routines online, including the Perks of Peeping, The Shits Abroad, The Crafty Cockney, The Demise of Fingering, Tomato Sauce and Chicken Children, have been viewed in the hundred millions, and are a huge hit on TikTok. He keeps us laughing through the tough times – and if ever we needed it, it’s now!
