Mammy Banter sells out UK & Ireland tour in record time
Including 2 shows in Belfast and 3 in Derry/Londonderry
Social media sensation, Serena Terry aka Mammy Banter has sold out her debut stand-up tour, ‘Socially Needier’ in just a couple of hours.
The 18-date tour will see Serena perform across the UK and Ireland, with two shows in the Waterfront Hall, Belfast and three Millennium Forum shows in Derry.
Serena took the social media world by storm in 2020 with her hilariously relatable comedy skits on Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook as Mammy Banter.
She currently boasts over 2.5 million social media followers, has written a Sunday Times Best Selling Novel (The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum) and best-selling follow-up, ‘The Sh!te Before Christmas’.
In 2023 Serena was named as a Breakout Star by TikTok, she secured a cameo in the global phenomenon Derry Girls and made her debut on the stand-up comedy circuit at The Fringe.
The ‘Socially Needier’ stand-up tour will take audiences on a hilarious journey guided by nostalgic storytelling about Terry’s youth, through to her teens and twenties, to the chaos of coping right now as a 37-year-old married mum, and how social media has hugely affected not just her life, but everyone’s lives, including more recently, her children.
Serena commented; “It’s unbelievably flattering to know people want to see me deliver that live on stage and it is a massive confidence boost for someone who within the standup circuit, is still considered a newbie.
“I’m extremely grateful and humbled for that vote of confidence, I’ve a lot more freedom with my storytelling at a live show rather than being constrained by the time limits of short form content on TikTok, and that’s really exciting.”
Joe Dougan, Promoter at Shine and TSW claims the huge demand for Serena’s comedy is due to her hard work over the last three years online and as an author. “The sheer demand for tickets and instant sellouts across every single venue in both the UK and Ireland is testament to Serena’s ardent and loyal fanbase who she’s grown single-handedly over the last few years.”
Serena’s sellout show Socially Needier kicks off in Belfast on June 2nd and will wrap at the Galway Comedy Festival on October 26th.
Tickets are also due to be announced soon for her second time gracing the stages of Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this month.
