This October, independent podcast comedy network Podomedy is stepping out of your headphones and onto the live stage as part of London’s Cheerful Earful podcast festival, the UK’s only festival dedicated to comedy podcasts.
Taking place across multiple venues from October 12th to the 20th, the festival celebrates audio comedy in all its forms. Podomedy will showcase five titles on its network, giving listeners the chance to connect with their favourite shows and hosts in person:

“Live shows give indie podcasters the chance to deepen listener engagement, grow their audience, and even make money doing what they love,” said Podomedy CEO, Damien St John. “It’s about turning passive listening into active community, so come on down to support indie podcast comedy and see what all the fuss is about."
