The Good, The Bad & The Rugby Podcast Tickets

The world’s biggest rugby show, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, is back on tour throughout October and November 2025.

Join hosts and England Rugby heroes James Haskell and Mike Tindall, alongside former Sky Sports rugby presenter Alex Payne as the trio take to the stage at Birmingham's Alexandra Theatre, Cardiff's New Theatre, Oxford's New Theatre, and G Live in Guildford.

Recreating their trademark on-air banter, The Good (Alex), The Bad (James) and The Rugby (Mike) share tales from on and off the pitch for what promises to be a night filled with surprises and laughter with audience interaction, fun and games.

The Good, The Bad & The Rugby is a weekly podcast starring England legends James Haskell and Mike Tindall, alongside noted broadcaster Alex Payne, that debuted at No. 1 in the Apple charts before releasing its first episode. Featuring some of the biggest names across rugby, as well as the wider sporting and pop-cultural realms, it has attracted a cult following due to its rare ability to draw in the core rugby fan while cutting through and engaging a wider audience too.

Such success is due to the show’s USP: the special connection between Alex, James and Mike as well as their guests. These relationships allow the guys to capture the personalities and characters of guests, inside and outside rugby, digging beneath the veneer to unearth real, raw stories. There is no defining an episode, no silly gimmicks; it’s an intoxicating cocktail of humour, sadness, anger. A rollercoaster of emotions slotted into an hour and a half.

The hugely successful podcast team have gained more than 50million views online since launching in 2020, and their 2025 tour follows a series of sold out shows in 2022.
