The Good, The Bad & The Rugby Podcast to embark on UK tour – how to get tickets

Beginning in October, the tour will be coming off the back of this year’s Rugby World Cup in France and will have the theme of a World Cup After Party. With plenty of international experience between them, the three hosts will be diving deep into their own World Cup experiences with stories, jokes, and injuries to share.

The tour will be the team’s second since the podcast began in 2020 and is hitting 17 different venues, including the London Palladium and the O2 Apollo in Manchester. The shows will carry on all the way until December and promise to be “filled with surprises and laughter” thanks to the group’s stories, banter, and a bit of audience interaction.

If you miss out on this then you deserve to be in the sin bin. Here’s what you need to know about tickets.
