  • this autumn sees England going to Australia to lose the Ashes.

  • But they're not the only group of Englishmen who will be heading to Australia

  • because we are going there in November and December this year.

  • So we will be playing five tests.

  • We'll be doing five shows in front of our beloved Australian audience.

  • So in late November, we will be doing two shows in Sydney.

  • including one of the Opera House.

  • And Dominic, I'm particularly excited about that second show.

  • In fact, so excited that I've gone off and not only changed my clothes,

  • but changed the house where I'm recording this.

  • And that's because this second show, we've had to launch it due to popular demand.

  • Our first show in Sydney has already almost sold out.

  • So please do be sure to grab your tickets before the second show sells out too.
