Off Menu podcast adds extra dates to limited run at Royal Albert Hall

Comedians and podcast hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster have added two extra shows to their 2026 live shows, Off Menu Live: The Tasting Menus.

The expanded dates will now feature five shows across three days in March 2026, making it The Royal Albert Hall’s biggest-ever podcast run.

Off Menu Live: The Tasting Menus will feature a different returning guest at each show, being served a surprise set of dream dishes. Fan favourites from the Off Menu back catalogue are invited back to the Dream Restaurant, except this time they don’t know what they’ll be eating.

Since launching in December 2018, Off Menu has become one of the biggest podcasts in the country, regularly topping the podcast charts and racking up nearly 200 million downloads.

Ed Gamble said: “It still makes me laugh out loud that we get to do this at the Royal Albert Hall. I hope it goes ahead before the people in charge realise what the show is.”

James Acaster added: “Can’t wait to return to our spiritual home and treat it like only we can. We were born for this. Were you?”

In 2019 and 2020, Off Menu was nominated for Best Comedy Podcast at the British Podcast Awards and in 2021 and 2022 was nominated for Best Comedy Podcast at the National Comedy Awards.

Over the last six years Ed and James have had some of the biggest stars of stage and screen join them in the Dream Restaurant, from Hollywood royalty like Robert De Niro, Florence Pugh and Paul Rudd, to national treasures including Kathy Burke, Sir Lenny Henry and Bob Mortimer.

Tickets for the previously announced dates went on sale  at 10am, with the newly added dates available now at royalalberthall.com and seetickets.com.
