Irish fans, despite best efforts (and I really did try!) it’s looking like your next event will be in Spring 2026. Bear with me – I’m working hard to make sure I come to Ireland soon, and I’ll share details when they’re finalised!

And if you’re disappointed that I’m not coming to your town or city, I am sorry. I try to keep moving around different parts of the UK with each tour (this time it’s the South West’s turn!), so there won’t always be an event in your area with each tour, and if I recently visited your area it’s likely I won’t be back for a few years. You may also need to travel a bit to meet me – I have to make sure I keep enough time to write, and that means I can’t visit everywhere that wants me. But 2026 will bring new opportunities, so please be patient and hopefully I’ll see you soon!
