The audience can put its own questions to the guests, and politics and The Celebrity Traitors are mentioned as topics. The tour is part of Rajan's wider Amol Rajan Connection membership project, which has its own website and YouTube channel.

If you are driving, allow extra time on a weeknight evening.
Book early, and stay close
The tour is only ten dates, and Harrogate is the only Yorkshire stop, so people from Leeds, York and further afield may travel in. If you plan to make a night of it, sort your accommodation soon. Our serviced apartments and townhouses are in central Harrogate, many a short walk from the Royal Hall and the Convention Centre. They suit couples, groups of friends and anyone who wants to cook or relax after a late show rather than rush for a last train.
After the show
The show starts at 7.30pm, so plan dinner before curtain up or a late bite once it ends. Harrogate has plenty of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance of the venue. If you are staying on, the Turkish Baths are a relaxed way to spend the following morning before you head home.
