During the UEFA Champions League final, which took place last night, (Sunday, August 23), Coach Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis’ titular character in Apple TV’s critically acclaimed, global hit original comedy series of the same name, “Ted Lasso,” called legendary football Manager José Mourinho seeking advice as he starts his new role leading the (fictional) Premier League club AFC Richmond. Mourinho, known widely as “The Special One,” reluctantly took a few minutes out of his evening to give Lasso, a Division II college football coach who has never coached a soccer game in his life, a few pointers which he graciously accepted (and desperately needed).
In February 2020, theatre producer Tom Gribby brought together an impressive cast for The Pirate Queen production at the London Coliseum, helping raise more than £10,000 for Leukaemia UK.
