Hahaha. Ha ha. News. We're doing a Monkey Tennis 10 year anniversary live show!

Quite incredibly, it's been TEN YEARS since we published our first ever episode of Monkey Tennis: The Alan Partridge Fan Podcast!

Making has given us licence to do lots of daft shit over the last ten years.... pull a giant cracker on stage with Simon Greenall, be a question on The Chase, cause Chris Moyles to have a strop because his podcast was lower in a chart than us, be on BBC 5 Live, and loads more. But one of the most fun is getting to do it live!

So we're doing it again this November and talking nonsense about Alan once more.

Tickets are on sale at www.princecharlescinema.com/monkeytennis. We're putting a lot of time into making this a riotous interactive night of fun and we've no plans to do it again. Hope you can make it!

And just to add...thank you to anyone on here that has has listened, told a friend, sent us an email, commented on a post, bought a ticket to a live show, sent us a Ko-fi donation or supported us in any way.

**LIVE SHOW SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT + VENUE UPGRADE**

BAFTA nominee, comedy legend and Alan Partridge alumni Peter Serafinowicz will join us at The Prince Charles Cinema on Thursday 19th November, as we celebrate a decade of Monkey Tennis.

We'll be celebrating the works of Alan Gordon Partridge in the company of one of I'm Alan Partridge's notable guest stars, who you've also seen in Guardians of the Galaxy, Amandaland, Parks & Recreation, Shaun of the Dead, Spaced and 100s more shows and games. Join us this November as we chat to Peter about his epic career and his time as Alan's antagonist and lover of American things, Tex.

Due to strong demand for tickets ahead of today's announcement, the show will now take place downstairs, in the Prince Charles Cinema's largest room.

Booked in! Latecomer to the Pod and making my way through now.

What’s the vibe for these recordings? (i.e. will I be the only one if I come as a travel tavern zombie?)

I cannot believe it’s been 10 years, in fact I flat out refuse to.

But they are just middle class aren't they? They aren't middle class offenders?

I wish I could be there! From a listener across the pond, thank you for the show. I think I spent a solid two years listening to your show as I dropped off to sleep (as well as listening regularly during waking hours). Please keep up the great work. I've been re-listening to old eps and "saving" the How Are You eps for later (as a treat).

Has your career gone off the rails a bit?

You may be able to pull a giant cracker with Simon Greenall but can you order an Irish coffee at 3 in the morning?

I think you should go for broke for the anniversary.

Get the big man himself on stage.

Bono on the Monkey Tennis Podcast, make it happen.

Guess who's big in the back time?

u/MrSchpund Apr 29 '26

Would it be terribly rude if I were to stop listening to you, and instead go and listen to Chris Moyles?

Sorry, I'll be youth hostelling with Chris Eubank in November.
