Vogue Williams has said she can't wait to bring her new tour to Irish audiences, who are 'just great craic'.

Vogue and her husband Spencer Matthews are stepping away from the recording booth to head out on their first-ever live tour in Ireland.

Fresh off the back of selling out Dublin's 3Olympia, the couple will play shows at Cork's Opera House tomorrow, followed by The Waterfront in Belfast and then Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre.

Vogue told The Hard Shoulder there is no audience like an Irish audience.

"I love doing live shows, it a new enough thing for me because I started with my friend Joanne," she said.

"We did live shows with that podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, and Spencer and I have done three live shows in The Olympia.

"We've got Cork tomorrow, then we've got Belfast and then a couple in Dublin.

"An Irish audience is just great craic so I actually cannot wait."

Vogue said she thinks an Irish audience outstrips others elsewhere.

"Most of our audience are always Irish anyway, but we're very lucky like that," she said.

"They're always just up for a laugh so it's really nice to be able to do a show for people who are just wanting to have fun".

She said the live show won't be quite the same as the podcast.

"We won't be pranking anyone on it," she said.

"It's quite different to a podcast, because I think if someone had to sit and listen to us do a podcast live it wouldn't be as much fun.

"With this show we wanted to turn it into a big huge night out and for everyone to just leave with a big smile on their face knowing they had a good time."

'A roast of Spencer'

Vogue said they can get away with more on stage.

"There's lots of different parts to it, we're allowed say a lot of things that we wouldn't be able to say on the podcast," she said.

"This is not recorded so we won't get in as much trouble.

"Spencer and I are testing out some stand-up; we're quite competitive and we basically are competing in stand-up to see who's better at the end of this show.

"Mine's just basically a roast of Spencer, he's such an easy target, so I had a great time writing it," she added.

Vogue said it's all new to her as she doesn't consider herself a stand-up comedian.
