OPENING DATE FOR CHRIS & ROSIE RAMSEY’S RECORD-BREAKING  SH**GED. MARRIED. ANNOYED. LIVE PODCAST TOUR CANCELLED DUE TO TECHNICAL FAILURE AT VENUE

Due to a catastrophic failure of the iron curtain separating the auditorium from the stage, Chris and Rosie Ramsey’s hotly anticipated opening performances of their sold out first leg of their record breaking Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed live podcast tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse (matinee & evening) have both been cancelled and rescheduled to Sunday 5th December 2021. The tour will now kick off in their hometown of Newcastle at the sold out Utilita Arena on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th September.

Chris & Rosie said, “We are absolutely devastated that both shows in Edinburgh today have been cancelled. It is completely out of our hands, we only found out this morning ourselves, having travelled here yesterday. So sorry to anyone else who has travelled to see us. The iron curtain on the stage at the venue is broken and can’t be lifted up, so it’s impossible for either show to go ahead. We’re so sorry. The good news is we have managed to reschedule the date to the 5th of December 2021 so hope you can join us then. Look out for an email from the venue that will be with you shortly with all the details you need, if booked through SEE and Ticketmaster they will also be in touch very soon.  Again, we’re just so gutted and we can’t apologise enough.”

Based on the award-winning, smash hit podcast, which launched in early 2019, Sh**ged.Married.Annoyed. regularly hits no.1 in the download charts and has reached over a whopping 80 million downloads worldwide to date and recently celebrated its milestone 100th episode. It has also just broken the world record for spending an entire year in the top 10 of the UK charts. Nowhere in the world has a podcast remained in the top 10 for 365 days.

Due to overwhelming demand from their SMA fans, over 110,000 extra tickets across nine more arenas nationwide in 2021 were recently added, (that’s now 12 arenas under their belt).  The live shows will now include a night at London’s O2 Arena on 30th November as well as playing to audiences at newly added arena dates in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Nottingham throughout December.
