Hello and welcome to the Restless History, Dominic. Have you heard the latest exciting news about our live tour?

I have, Dominic. It's actually shocking news. It's shocking but also heartening. But just to remind you the listener, the rest is history is going on a nationwide tour at the end of April 2023.

I say tour but it's for three nights only. We'll be in London on the 25th of April and the historic Drury Lane Theatre. Then we'll be able to Edinburgh the following evening on the 26th of April to play at Usher Hall.

And we will finish on the 30th of April at the Larry in Sulford Greater Manchester. But Tom, the listeners are gacking to know about this shocking news that you have for them about the tour.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can announce that our London live show has now sold out. I repeat, all 2000 seats, yes 2000 seats at Drury Lane Theatre are now sold out.

So not even frozen the musical. The show that we are of course replacing at Drury Lane, not even frozen sold out that quickly.

I can imagine Elsa listening to this right now, fuming at the very thought of the rest is history stealing her snowy thunder. But Elsa, all I will say to you is let it go.

People can go to both shows. But just to emphasize, that's our first live date already sold out. And tickets are selling incredibly quickly for Sulford and Edinburgh too.

So if you do want to come, please buy your ticket right now to avoid disappointment. Now, if you've never been to one of our live shows, what a treat or wait. So we have an incredibly inventive approach.

Tom will take the first half and he will be running through his repertoire of Marilyn Monroe songs and I do be the do thanks for that. And I will be picking up after the interval with the PowerPoint presentation on the economic policies of Stanley Baldwin.

It's an absolute riot.

It's fun for all the family. So these are our first ever shows outside London as a podcast. So we'll be putting on a tour de force. I think Dominic is the only word for it in both greater Manchester and the Scottish capital.

So they'll be impressions, perhaps a Mureguin pipe music and plenty of absolute lads from history. Here is how you can get tickets. Just go to rest is history pod dot com. It is very, very, very straight forward. That is www dot rest is history pod dot com by your tickets now to Sulford and Edinburgh before it's too late.

Hello and welcome to the rest is history. We always start these podcasts exactly the same way I say that we're in the middle of the World Cup Marathon because we are and there's no other way to dominate the thing is we don't actually know forget in the middle do we because we haven't yet worked out the schedule.

So we do know Tom is that this is a podcast about Ecuador now Ecuador's participation in the World Cup has it has been hanging by thread for quite a while hasn't it because there was some talk of them being kicked out which you were gutted by because you really wanted to do this podcast about you're you're absolutely you have passion and you've talked to me about this from the beginning of the rest is history.

You have a passion for Ecuador in history and you said you would dominate dominate I've been up front throughout this that Latin American history is not my strength.

Oh, so I don't say that so Ecuador basically I know two things about Ecuador.

Yeah, the first is it was the name of the 1990s club classic by sash you familiar with.

No, I'm not you went strutting your stuff to it.

I've learned something to learn something on this book class of it.

Every Saturday night dancing to this right Ecuador you know doesn't you don't remember that at all.

I hope they cut this Tom.
