Off Menu Podcast Announces Royal Albert Hall Shows in 2026

In-Depth Analysis

The 'Off Menu' podcast, hosted by comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster, has cemented itself as a giant in the podcasting world, boasting nearly 200 million downloads since its launch in December 2018. Known for its unique format where guests curate their dream restaurant menu, the show has featured everyone from Hollywood stars like Robert De Niro and Florence Pugh to British national treasures like Kathy Burke and Sir Lenny Henry.

Following sell-out live tours, including a recent run at the London Palladium, Gamble and Acaster are taking the show to one of London's most prestigious venues: the Royal Albert Hall. Three performances are scheduled for March 13th and 14th, 2026.

These live shows, titled 'Off Menu Live: The Tasting Menus', offer a twist on the podcast format. Instead of choosing their meal, returning fan-favourite guests will be surprised with a menu based on their previous dream selections. Each show will feature a different guest.

Ed Gamble humorously commented, "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?"

Tickets are expected to be in high demand, following the success of previous live shows. Fans should note the sale dates: mailing list presale on March 31st and general sale on April 2nd, available via the Royal Albert Hall and See Tickets websites.
