Kate Hudson. Natalie Portman. Bowen Yang. Who Will Play Sally Next?
For fans of the singer-songwriter Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, a big element of surprise during his No Place Like Tour has been the reveal of each night's Sally. At every show, someone is handpicked to represent the protagonist of his single 'Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.' As Mr. Pillsbury performs the song, he'll call out, 'Where's my Sally?' and out Sally comes, strutting and dancing to the music. The Sallys have run the gamut. One night, Sally was played by the actress Natalie Portman, who will star in a Lena Dunham-produced romantic comedy called 'Good Sex' opposite Mr. Pillsbury (his acting debut). Another night it was the actress and singer Reneé Rapp. Bowen Yang from 'Saturday Night Live' took a turn, as did the singer and actor Troye Sivan. Last weekend, it was Kate Hudson. On other nights, Sally is an enthusiastic fan plucked from the crowd. And it all started with a rumor. A post shared by NO PLACE LIKE TOUR (@noplaceliketour) In February, the influencer and comedian Jake Shane, who Mr. Pillsbury said had been rumored to be the inspiration for the song, texted Mr. Pillsbury to point out that they were both in Dallas. 'We were like, 'How funny would it be to just, like, play into that and have him come onstage?'' Mr. Pillsbury, 28, said in an interview. The audience loved it. 'We were like, 'We should do this every night and just have a fan come up.'' From there, it became a thing. Among those chosen was Dani Coker, a dance teacher in Portland, Ore., who was in the crowd dancing at a show in April when she felt a tap on her shoulder, just as Mr. Pillsbury started singing 'Sally.' 'I turn around and it's his manager, and she's like, 'Do you want to come be Sally?'' Ms. Coker, 36, said in an interview 'I think what maybe caught his eye was my disco ball hat,' she added. 'Up there, I just was kind of focusing on Role Model the whole time. But as soon as I looked into the crowd and saw all the phones, I just kind of went blank, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, what is happening.'' Mr. Pillsbury took time out from his tour to discuss how his team picked each Sally and who his favorite Sally had been thus far. Sally is blowing up the internet. Revealing Sally has become such an integral part of your show experience. How do you pick a Sally? This whole year, we really tried our best to just do fans every night. Honestly, I would keep my eyes open and see who is, like, jumping up and down the whole time and performing while I'm performing. And then sometimes my tour manager would be out in the crowd, up in the balcony, looking. It was a group effort. And sometimes the decision is made during the show, and sometimes it was before. We chose one in Chicago, this kid was just losing his mind to the preshow playlist, putting on a show for everyone on the ground. And we were like: 'OK, this is Sally. We need this energy.' And then for festivals, I liked the idea of doing some special guests. A post shared by NO PLACE LIKE TOUR (@noplaceliketour) With the special guests, how does that come about logistically? How long does it take to coordinate something like that with people like Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson? The goal is to really make it as easy for whoever we're asking. I want it to be very low-lift. So it's usually a matter of finding out who's in the city while we're doing it. For Natalie, for example, we were shooting a movie in New York. And I heard murmurs that Natalie would be down if I were to ask. For Kate Hudson, someone on my team was like, 'Hey, Kate is in Aspen when you're performing at this festival.' And they were asking if we would want her to be Sally. And I was like, 'Obviously.' That was … I mean, everyone's perfect in their own way, but that was just a very cute rom-com little moment there. She exudes the Sally energy. This has become great content for social media. Was that part of the equation when you planned the tour? None of this was planned. The day after Jake Shane, we had this 7-year-old boy come up and everyone loved it, and we're like, 'OK, this has to be to be a thing.' A post shared by NO PLACE LIKE TOUR (@noplaceliketour) I imagine the art of picking Sally has been honed over time? Yeah, I guess so. Now I think people understand a little bit more how we're picking it. It's based off of energy and what's the word? I don't know, just a performer. We need a performer. And I think people know that. And, honestly, it's made the shows very fun. That's my favorite part of the show now. It can be very repetitive touring and playing the same damn songs every night. And so it's a very fun moment for me — I get to just dance and have fun with a stranger onstage. It's beautiful. I saw that one of your Sallys was your mom. What did that feel like? I had never had her onstage. My mom is very shy and quiet, and she surprised me and my entire family with her performance. I never would have thought she'd be that comfortable. But I was blown away — I was kind of in shock while we were up there. I guess I don't know my mom when she has a couple shots Do you have a favorite Sally? Well, see, I have to say my mom. That's my safety net, so I don't hurt anyone's feelings.

Don Wycherley: ‘Eircom put me off investing in shares for life'
Actor Don Wycherley is the narrator for Guy Barker's Soho Symphony in the RTÉ Concert Orchestra 's concert, A Night in Soho, on Friday at the National Concert Hall , Dublin. Are you a saver or a spender? I don't make any extravagant purchases, I would never buy a new car, for example, as I would not like the burden of monthly repayments. That said, I don't have vast savings either. I use Revolut Spare Change to save for things like 'holiday money' or indeed for those little emergencies, like the car breaking down. What was the first job you received money for, and how much were you paid? I got a summer job picking strawberries in fifth year for a local market gardener, starting at 6.30am. You got paid per punnet picked and would get told off for pulling the tops off or picking ones with green in them. Your wages depended on the number of punnets picked, which were counted at the end. Do you shop around for better value? I would have to say no, but thankfully my wife does. I am currently struggling with the idea that I am a fool for paying over the odds for my Sky, Netflix and Prime payments, when most people I know are dodgy boxers. READ MORE What has been your most extravagant purchase and how much did it cost? My house, I suppose, and though probably not an extravagance, it felt so at the time. I'm not going to tell you the cost, but the stamp duty would have bought a fine car back then. I do the Lotto with work colleagues, but we have never won anything big. It's a waste of a fiver a month, but we get a bit of a laugh out of it What purchase have you made that you consider the best value for money? I guess it's the same house, as it has doubled in value. Is there anything you regret spending money on? Those bloody Eircom shares in 1999, my first toe-dip into the markets. I held on to them for too long and ended up losing money on them. Put me off shares for life! [ The Eircom shares debacle: 'I spent €5,000. They are now worth less than €500′ Opens in new window ] Do you haggle over prices? All the time. I will haggle anywhere. In shops, I ask if that's the best you can do, could you knock anything off that? I have certainly embarrassed my children at times. If you don't ask, you won't receive and will never know if there was a better deal to be made. Do you invest in shares and/or cryptocurrency? I was always in and out of work as an actor and never really had the regular funds to invest in shares. If I did get a cash injection from somewhere, there was always something more pressing that needed those funds. Do you have a retirement or pension plan? Yes, I do, and this is where I am putting most of my financial energies. For years, I didn't think about such things, but like many men and women of my age, it is now one of my favourite subjects. What was the last thing you bought and was it good value for money? I took a house in west Cork for two weeks recently and all my children and their respective partners and pets came down for a few days here and a few days there. For two of the days, they were all down at the same time, chatting, reminiscing, slagging each other, and I made them iced coffees, cut up lots of fruit for breakfast, had lots of swims together and savoured our family reunion. I could probably have got something cheaper abroad, but we had fantastic weather, and a lovely landlady. I couldn't have got any better value for money than I did in west Cork for those two weeks. Have you ever successfully saved up for a relatively big purchase? Yes, I have saved up for all my cars over the years. Have you ever lost money? I do the Lotto with work colleagues, but we have never won anything big. It's a waste of a fiver a month, but we get a bit of a laugh out of it. We used to put the winnings back into buying more tickets, but last year we decided to start building the winnings fund and putting it towards some fun group activity. We currently have €410 in our fund and counting! Are you a gambler and, if so, have you ever had a big win? I would have always said no, but a few years back I got a tip on a horse from a friend and wasn't near a bookies, so I decided to download a well-known bookmaker's app to place the bet. The horse won, so with my €80 winnings I started exploring the app, putting on little wagers here and there. The winnings were soon gone. [ Leah Stack: 'Horses can be quite unreliable at times ... so I have a few backup investments' Opens in new window ] When I had a little time to myself, or even while disinterestedly half-watching something on telly with my wife, I found myself going into the casino section. It was very addictive, and even though I won a couple of times, I generally lost. Thankfully, I realised this quickly and had the sense to cut my losses and delete the app. That was a big win! What is your best habit when it comes to money? And your worst? Best? I don't think about it too much. Worst? I don't think about it too much! How much money do you have on you now? A fiver and some coins. In conversation with Tony Clayton-Lea

Shubh to Set the Stage Ablaze in Dubai This October
Toronto-based Punjabi hip-hop sensation Shubh is set to light up the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on 5 October 2025 with his eye-catching production, 'The Supreme Tour', marking his first-ever performance in the Middle East. Blending traditional Punjabi folk textures with the contemporary punch of R&B and hip-hop, Shubh has built a global following with soul-stirring lyrics and hypnotic flows. After a streak of sold-out shows across North America—including headline dates in Oakland, Vancouver, Toronto, and Newark—Shubh is now gearing up to bring the same electric energy to Dubai's vibrant concert scene. Fans can expect a visually immersive stage show paired with hard-hitting beats as he performs chart-topping hits such as 'Still Rollin', 'Elevated', 'One Love', 'Supreme', 'Cheques', 'No Love', 'Baller' and more. This concert is more than just a performance—it's a cultural milestone. Shubh's Dubai debut is being hailed as a landmark moment in the region's entertainment calendar, blending South Asian musical energy with global hip-hop aesthetics in a spectacular live experience. Tickets for The Supreme Tour: Dubai are now available through the District by Zomato app and the Coca-Cola Arena's official website, with prices starting around AED 195. Given Shubh's rising popularity and the buzz surrounding the show, savvy fans are encouraged to act fast—this event is likely to sell out quickly. From his breakout 'We Rollin' in 2021 to his recent album Sicario (2025), Shubh's music has captivated audiences worldwide with its introspective tone and cultural authenticity. Now, with Dubai as his next destination, Shubh continues to reshape the global hip-hop conversation—one beat and lyrical verse at a time.
