Talking Sopranos is set to tour the UK and Ireland next year with a run of shows featuring star hosts Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa. Tickets for the tour go on sale at 10am on Friday 16 May. Scroll to the bottom of this article for a detailed list of the duo’s performances. 

Started during lockdown, Talking Sopranos features Imperioli (who played Christopher Moltisanti in The Sopranos) and Schirripa (who played Bobby Bacala) as they rewatch the landmark portrait of an Italian-American criminal organisation in New Jersey. Episodes featured regular special guests, including former cast members, writers and fans of the show. The final episode was broadcast in December 2021 after 91 episodes. 

Starting at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on Sunday 15 February, the 90-minute live discussion will then visit venues in Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Bristol, Manchester and Newcastle Upon Tyne. The night will involve a Q&A session with the duo. 

We spoke with Imperioli and Schirripa before the release of Sopranos prequel The Many Saints Of Newark in 2021. ‘He was very hands on, and involved in every aspect of the show,' said Schirripa on Sopranos' creator David Chase. 'He was in the writers' room, he was involved in the casting; nothing got by him. David put a lot of people with similar backgrounds together and the writing was incredible, and here we are. The show really holds up 20 years after the first episode aired, and not a day goes by without someone stopping me to ask a question or call me Bobby.' Read the full interview.
