Tickets on sale Friday at 10am from ticketmaster.ie

Sports pundit and host of the 2024 Paris Olympics turned stand-up comedian and social media sensation Hannah East has announced an autumn extension of her hit UK tour Express Yourself after selling out her earlier dates. The second leg of the tour will kick off in Poole on 23rd September 2026. 

Express Yourself is Hannah’s first UK-wide stand-up tour and is a hilarious deep dive into the highs and lows of parenting. As demonstrated by the millions of views across her viral comedy reels, Hannah brilliantly captures the chaos, joy, and absurdity of life as a mum. 

From pregnancy and labour to breastfeeding, postpartum struggles, and everyday parenting challenges, Hannah’s sketches hit home with honesty and humour. Audiences love her for saying what mums are really thinking but rarely feel they can share out loud. As a former sports pundit and record-breaking swimmer, Hannah is at home on the stage and charms audiences with her warm-hearted tone, relatable impressions, and fearless wit. Express Yourself guarantees brand-new skits, more wigs, celebrity send-ups, and laugh-out-loud moments every parent will relate to.

Hannah said: ‘After the initial dates sold out so quickly, I knew I needed to do a second leg! I am so excited to spend the evening with other sleep deprived parents; this show is all about the comedy side of early stages of parenting, which are tough. We are all winging it, if we don't laugh about it we would probably cry!’ 

 

ABOUT HANNAH EAST

After gigging in pubs on the stand-up comedy circuit seven years ago, Hannah began posting relatable comedy sketches online in 2024, entertaining her followers with skits about being a mum and all of the chaos and messiness that comes along with it. She quickly grew a committed audience and now has more than 250,000 followers on Instagram and 63,000 on TikTok.

Recently, Hannah has taken up the role of Podcaster alongside Louise Boyce as they host No Parental Guidance - the unfiltered, laugh-out-loud podcast from Fabulous Magazine, the antidote to the impossibly perfect world of Instagram parenting. 

As well as comedy, Hannah has had a successful career in sports punditry, during which she has presented some of the world’s biggest sporting events including Paris 2024 Olympics, PGA Europro Tour on Sky Sports, Tour Of Britain on BBC, The Darts Show ITV, MUTV weekly football show, England Netball international series, London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Hannah also maintains her passion for sports and fitness via her online coaching business.

Hannah initially discovered her passion for presenting while taking part in Sky 1’s Gladiators in 2008 after she graduated from university, where she beat 10,000 other contestants to make it to the show’s final. During the semi-finals, Hannah stood with the show’s then-host Ian Wright when he told her she should have a go at reading the autocue. After she did so, Ian suggested that Hannah should go into presenting and the rest is history!
