The Wittering Whitehalls are bringing their unique brand of charm and wit to Winchester and, if you’re one of their dedicated DLs, you won’t want to miss this live version of their popular podcast.
Ahead of their national tour, Hilary and Michael will be taking to the stage at the University of Winchester to try out their hilarious podcast in front of a live audience, and booking is now open for you to be part of the crowd before the rest of the country gets to see them.
The pair will host their warm-up show at the university’s auditorium on Romsey Road on Saturday 4 October and, during the live performance, will record episodes of their podcast for future airing. Mimicking their weekly podcast, those attending will have the opportunity to pose a question or ask for help with a dilemma, which the duo will debate and offer wisdom and advice from their experience.
As preparations for the show ramp up, Hilary Whitehall said, “Michael and I are incredibly excited to be bringing The Wittering Whitehalls Barely Alive show to our DLs in Winchester. We have friends and family in the area who have shared the remarkable work of the hospice with us, and we’re delighted to do this warm-up show not just to hone our material but, more importantly, to support and raise awareness for this valuable charity.”
The charity, which supports local people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses, needs to raise around £750,000 each year to support the care it delivers, and its fundraising team is always looking for unique ways to raise funds.
Jo Westerman, fundraising officer at Winchester Hospice, said, “We’re absolutely delighted that Hilary and Michael have chosen to host a warm-up show in Winchester in aid of the hospice. We’re immensely honoured that they’ve given up their time to put on this show for the charity, and I know our supporters will be excited to see them test out their show before they take it on the road. Thank you to both of them, and their team, for helping us put on such a wonderful event to raise money.”
Standard tickets are priced at just £30, or there are a limited number of VIP tickets available, which include a meet and greet with Hilary and Michael before the show, a glass of fizz, a goodie bag, and the best seats in the house for the show itself.
