Update: I meant to add something about the tour itinerary. If you ever wondered why performers get silly and demanding as they get more successful (4 whole roast chickens delivered to the dressing room in the interval, that kind of thing), and/or why they get hooked on drugs/alcohol and/or get killed in plane and coach/car crashes... take a look at the itinerary, and how soul-destroyingly stoopid it is.
Play Brighton, on the South coast of Englandland, fly across to gay Paris. The next night flog back to Birmingham in the English west midlands, then schlep down to the South of Englandland, Maidstone, which isn't too far from Brighton. From Kent, fly across to Belfast in Northern Ireland, and then 100 miles South to Dublin. Fly back to Scotland, then on the next night, it's back in the English midlands to Snottingham. North West to Manchester, sensibly staying (yay) sort of in the general ballpark of the North, to Sheffield (which is closer to Snottingham than Manchester, but still). Down to London, than back to the North East, Newcastle, then to Norwich (which isn't close to anywhere, to be fair), and back to the East Midlands and Leicester, finishing off, if you survive, with a night in lovely Buckingham. There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to it.
To an American, the distances mean nothing, but if you're flying around, well a take-off and a landing are a take-off and a landing, no matter how far you travel. If you're driving, well: we may be small but at least we're crowded. Good luck on our roads.

I saw her play earlier in the year and she put on a solid show. But man, she is TINY!
