Acclaimed polymath, bestselling author, screenwriter, songwriter, musician, producer and academic Blindboy Boatclub is set to return to stages across the UK with the biggest tour to date of The Blindboy Podcast LIVE
Described by The New York Times as a “cultural phenomenon”, The Blindboy Podcast has become one of the most distinctive and celebrated storytelling podcasts in the world. Rooted in the Irish Seanchaí tradition, the award-winning series blends history, fiction, cultural critique and politics into what Blindboy describes as “the podcast hug” — an immersive and deeply human listening experience.
Drawing on his trademark curiosity and wide-ranging expertise, Blindboy democratises subjects often considered inaccessible, including art, psychology, politics, science and music. These exclusive live events promise audiences a humorous, thought-provoking and uniquely intimate exploration of complex ideas, delivered in Blindboy’s singular style
With more than 60 million listeners globally, Blindboy’s live podcast performances have sold out around the world, from Toronto to London and Sydney to Galway, captivating audiences with an atmosphere unlike any conventional live show. Each performance will also feature a surprise special guest, creating meditative evenings that blur the boundaries between theatre, conversation and storytelling.
His television work has won an Irish Film and Television Awards, been long-listed for a British Academy Television Awards and shortlisted for both a Broadcast Award and a Grierson Trust Award, establishing him as one of Ireland’s most distinctive documentary voices. On stage, his live shows continue to sell out globally, with his mix of sharp wit, empathy and social insight drawing audiences into bold conversations about culture, politics and the human condition.
Spontaneously endearing, refreshingly engaging and often profoundly moving, The Blindboy Podcast LIVE offers audiences an unforgettable live experience from one of Ireland’s most original and compelling creative voices.
