Since launching back in December 2018, The Off Menu Podcast has become one of the most lauded podcasts in the country, winning a multitude of awards, regularly topping the podcast charts and racking up well over 120 million downloads.

 

Each episode sees comedians and podcast hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster invite a different special guest to their magical restaurant to choose their dream meal, often with disastrous consequences. 

 

Before each guest arrives, Ed and James announce a secret ingredient and if the guest mentions the ingredient, they are ejected from the Dream Restaurant. To date, the only celebrity guest to be ejected is Bristolian comedian Jayde Adams.

 

Now with 186 episodes under their belt, the partners in crime have welcomed the likes of Krishnan Guru-Murphy, Loyle Carner, Jay Rayner, Mike Skinner, Armando Iannucci, Noah Schnapp, Louis Theroux, Martin Freeman, Bob Mortimer, Miriam Margolyes, Ed Sheeran, Jarvis Cocker, Yotam Ottolenghi, Paul Mescal, Florence Pugh, and Lily Allen.

 

Each night of the upcoming Off Menu tour will feature a different special guest and plenty of laughs! In addition to Bristol, the eagerly anticipated 2023 tour will see the dream restaurant set up shop at venues in Birmingham, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Brighton and Dublin.

Off Menu Live is coming to The Bristol Hippodrome on Wednesday 11 October 2023 with tickets on sale this Friday 14 April. Secure your tickets HERE.
