They broke the record within 60 minutes of tickets going on sale, including 9,028 tickets at Utilita Arena and over 19,000 sales for the tour in total.[24] Due to popular demand, new dates were added to the tour on 6 March 2020.[25]

In July 2020, it was announced that the tour would be postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] Due to increased demand, in April 2021 the couple announced that they were adding over 110,000 extra tickets to their tour across nine additional venues, including the O2 Arena, London.[23]

The live show features the regular podcast segment 'What's your beef?', a discussion with fictional characters Barry and Belinda Beef, and a segment where Chris and Rosie read stories from the audience.[26]

In a review for the Evening Standard, Bruce Dessau described the show as "an evening of crowdpleasing, undemanding, relatable laughs."[26] Brian Logan of The Guardian praised Chris and Rosie's charms as hosts and called the show a "mildly amusing night out".[27]
