Richard Osman and Marina Hyde announce one-off The Rest Is Entertainment live show
At London's Royal Albert Hall, no less.
Fans of The Rest Is Entertainment are in luck, as the hit podcast is taking to the stage for its first ever live show – and tickets go on sale this week.
Fronted by Marina Hyde and Richard Osman, The Rest Is Entertainment has gone from strength to strength since its release last year, and so, to celebrate one year of the podcast, it's been announced that there will be an exciting live show.
The show will take place on 4th December this year at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with ticket presale beginning this Thursday (24th October) at 10am.
According to the official description of what's to come, there will be "a very serious review of the year in entertainment, a live Q&A with the audience, and a few special surprises".
On the announcement of the live show, Osman said, "What better way to kick off the Christmas season than a look back at the hits and misses of 2024?
"An evening of fun and games, scurrilous entertainment gossip, special prizes and celebrity surprises. Suitable for everyone, except probably Guy Ritchie."
Hyde also said: "The Royal Albert Hall is the ultimate magnificent venue - I am hugely looking forward to lowering the tone of it.
"As both a Christmas obsessive and someone given to anxiety dreams, I believe there is simply no better way to combine these two pursuits than to agree to doing a festive show at the Royal Albert Hall."
The podcast takes listeners behind the scenes of the entertainment world, covering everything from movies to TV, books and music, as well as discussing the week's most pressing headlines, pop culture takes and more.

In fact, it's gone on to become one of Goalhanger's most successful podcasts, and has consistently ranked in the UK's top 10 podcast charts this year, being downloaded over 3 million times each month.
The news of The Rest Is Entertainment's podcast taking to the stage comes in the same month as a live show for another Goalhanger hit podcast, The Rest Is Politics.
Fronted by former Downing Street director of communications and strategy Alastair Campbell and cabinet minister Rory Stewart, The Rest Is Politics hosted a live edition of their podcast at London's O2, and the podcast has toured the UK four times since it debuted back in 2022.
So, it could very well be the case that this won't be the first and only time to catch The Rest Is Entertainment on the big stage!
