Guardian Football Weekly Live

It’s almost two years since Football Weekly’s last live show and we are returning for One Night Only to Troxy in East London on September 11th and we’d love just shy of two thousand of you to join us (please).

A break of almost 24 months surely means that Max, Barry and the assembled Football Weekly glitterati are brimming with new anecdotes, opinions and video content ideas... doesn’t it?

The show will feature the podcast’s unique take on the world of football - plus, audience interaction, special guests and stories the lawyers don’t let us tell on the podcast.

To give you a flavour of what to expect, previous iterations of the live shows have featured Mark Langdon’s Meat Raffle, Steve Claridge’s fruit eating marathon and a t-shirt that got us in trouble with one of football’s major governing bodies.

A little more about the hosts:

Max Rushden:

Max has moved to Australia (but he doesn't like to talk about it) so we are capitalising on his extended summer in the UK by putting him to work and staging a live Football Weekly extravaganza.

Max plays Sunday League football (he doesn't like to talk about that either). What better way to spend an evening than hearing a middle-aged man compare the struggles of marking Lamine Yamal to the challenges he faces when chugging around the pitch for 45 minutes against East Heatherdale 4th in Melbourne’s local vets League D.

We’ve even got some footage of him in action.

Barry Glendenning:

Munich. Donning a blonde wig in his local. Lip syncing to Call Me Maybe. When it comes to Football Weekly live shows people always leave seeing Barry in a new light. This show will be no different.

Barry lives in a state of constant irritation that Max stereotypes him as the pod ‘clown’, who no one takes seriously and then proceeds each live show to tell an anecdote so humiliating and revealing the gear change Max has to pull off to get us back to talking about Manchester United’s transfer window is extraordinary.

You won’t want to miss it.
