Sean Collins · Good To Be Here — UK Tour Calendar
Window: mid/late January → February 2027 · v8 — 23 Jul 2026 · reshaped after Sean↔JR call: LST pulled → Top Secret London + Southampton Attic (Sean's own) · Ireland parked (Sean's own promoter) · NEW: Brighton / Komedia + a February south-east cluster
🧭 Routing shape: two January weekends (Solent · North-Midlands) → February clusters (Scotland+Newcastle · West Country · South-East). Ireland runs later as its own leg via Sean's promoter. Show count & pace = Sean's call — JR stated 8–12; ~11 in reach without Ireland.
✉ Mails to fire — staged, awaiting JR go · reconcile against Sent, not this list
→ 🆕 Komedia Brighton — reply to Will: we're shaping the leg around February, send Studio availability across Feb (replied: 70/30, Studio ~90, late-Jan open — pivoting to Feb SE cluster · draft staged)
→ WMC Cardiff — hold Sun 14 Feb, West Country anchor (Aled · send board ready)
→ Swansea — P Pub Comedy Club — warm cold-enquiry (via Chris) (Maggie owes the draft — West Country add)
✅ HELD / CONFIRMED: Southampton Attic Fri 22 Jan (Sean's OWN show) · Trinity IoW Sat 23 (greenlit) · Creatures Manchester Fri 29 (warm — reply sent) · Glee Bham Sat 30 (pencil) · The Stand ×3 — Edin Thu 4 · Glas Sat 6 · Newc Sun 7 (pencil-confirmed, Tammie).
⏳ On JR direct: Top Secret London (chasing owner — date/cap TBC) · Fri 5 Feb non-Stand Scotland room · Trinity 23-vs-30 Jan confirm · Ireland via Sean's own promoter (parked). ⛔ Dublin/Belfast sends HELD — do not fire.
Everything we hold on one calendar. Solid chips = a room actually offered/held; dashed = context or a gap. Early January is dimmed (Xmas'd out — weight the run late-Jan → Feb). This is the internal working view; the client-facing tour view lives on Sean's hub.

⚠️ Reading the chips: The Stand gives no Fridays and Saturdays are matinee only (4–6pm) — that's why Fri 5 Feb needs a non-Stand room and Glasgow/Newcastle sit as matinees. Southampton Attic Fri 22 is Sean's OWN booking (we route around it, not sell it). Top Secret London is a club that runs its own Friday bills — JR is chasing the owner directly on a date + cap. The South-East cluster (Brighton + London + a SE third — Portsmouth / Southampton / Kent) needs a free February weekend: 19–21 or 26–28 (the 26–28 slot freed up now Ireland is its own later leg). Firm it once Komedia sends February Studio availability.
The weekends, at a glance which weekend, which cluster
Fri 22 – Sun 24 Jan SOLENT · strong
Fri 22 — Southampton, The Attic ⭐ Sean's OWN "Good To Be Here" show (£15, theatticsouthampton.co.uk). We route the weekend around it.
🎭 Top Secret Comedy Club, London JR CHASING DIRECT
Kingsway · JR's own contact (owner). Replaces LST (pulled — ~£2k hire risk). Lower risk (split/guarantee, not deposit).
⚠️ Confirm they can do the date (clubs run own Fri nights) + cap (~120–150). Anchors the SE cluster with Brighton.
🎟️ Komedia Brighton — Studio REPLIED — pivoting to Feb
Will Robinson · 70/30 in our favour · Studio room ~90 seats · late-Jan dates open.
Reply staged: shaping the leg around February → asked for Feb Studio availability. ⚠️ 90 is small end of Sean's band — option to ask about the main house.
🏴 WMC Cardiff — Cabaret (150) ⭐ WEST COUNTRY ANCHOR
Aled Lloyd Rees · 150-seat cabaret room, bang in the fullness target.
Offered Sun 7 or Sun 14 → take Sun 14. Hold Sun 14 (send board ready) · cabaret@wmc.org.uk
🌊 Swansea — P Pub Comedy Club WARM (via Chris)
Ppubcomedyclub@gmail.com · intro via JR's mate Chris (told to expect JR). West of Cardiff — Mon 15 add or Bristol swap.
Maggie owes the cold enquiry draft (short + humble, no terms).
🌉 Bristol — Comedy Box / Gaffe AWAITING
Comedy Box (web form) · Gaffe/Harry Allmark (#4027, auto-ack — chase if silent). Bristol = the Sat 13 Feb piece.

⛪ Gosport church (southern opener) SEAN DIRECT
Best match St John's (Gosport Stitches club, Sat nights) — Sean books himself, unconfirmed.
🍀 Ireland (Dublin / Belfast) PARKED
Sean's own Irish promoter, separate later leg. Dublin LL send HELD · Belfast not opened · Smock Alley declined. Off this board for now.

Decisions that unlock the rest
🆕 Komedia Brighton — send the February-avails reply (staged). Firms whether the SE cluster lands 19–21 or 26–28 Feb. Option: add a line asking about their bigger main house (Studio is ~90).
🎭 Top Secret London — JR's direct chase. This is the London anchor now LST is out. Need a date + cap to pin the SE cluster. Everything downstream of "which SE weekend" waits on this + Komedia.
✉ 2 more sends staged (both reversible): WMC Cardiff — hold Sun 14 Feb · Swansea P Pub — warm cold-enquiry (I owe the draft). Say the word and I build/fire them in your name.
Trinity IoW — 23 vs 30 Jan. The North-Midlands weekend needs the 30th free for Glee, so lean Sat 23. CAODS hire detail still awaited; Reed owes press/social costing.
Fri 5 Feb non-Stand Scotland room — JR to source direct (Òran Mór / Monkey Barrel / Glee Glasgow). The Stand gives no Fridays.
Ireland — confirmed as Sean's own later leg. Nothing to fire; I keep Dublin/Belfast warm-but-held until Sean's promoter shapes dates.
Sean's steer on shape/pace — Shape A, B, C or his own; show count stated as 8–12, stays his.
