Man in recording booth in front of a recording microphone holding a wired telephone with steam coming out of it away from his head. A magazine open on a page of a kneeling footballer is open next to him.

Online sensations and stars of hit podcast Sports Horn, The Exploding Heads bring their characters to life on stage for the first time in their debut national tour coming to you this autumn!

Former professional footballer turned current pundit Ian Fiveankles thinks he’s doing ‘an evening with’ but Colin from Portsmouth has other ideas. He’s loud, he’s angry and he’s more confused than ever. Poor Anthony doesn’t stand a chance.

“Ridiculously funny. Utterly joyous. The saviours of phone in radio.”
James O’Brien

“Ball-achingly funny – top, top, top, top top, top show!”
Richard Herring

“Consistently the funniest people on the whole internet”
Marcus Brigstocke
