You're Dead To Me - Live

You’re Dead To Me is THE history podcast for people who don’t like history… and those who do. Greg Jenner brings together the best names in comedy and history to learn and laugh about the past. The podcast launched in Autumn 2019 and quickly topped the podcast charts and appeared in many Best Podcasts of 2019 lists.

The podcast has covered a range of historical subjects so far, including The History of General Elections with Dr Hannah Nicholson and Catherine Bohart; LGBTQ History with Dr Justin Bengry and Suzi Ruffell; Boudica with Dr Emma Southon and Sara Pascoe; and Lord Byron with Dr Corin Throsby and Ed Gamble. Rhian Roberts, Commissioning Editor for Radio 4 Digital and Podcasts, says: “So many people have let us know they love the You’re Dead To Me podcast. The episodes from the first series have been downloaded or played more than 5 million times already. The live show will let them see those funny historical brains in action or those historically funny brains…one of those two.”

Host Greg Jenner is a British public historian with a particular interest in communicating history through pop culture. He is the Historical Consultant to all seven series of CBBC’s multi-award-winning HORRIBLE HISTORIES, being solely responsible for the factual accuracy of over 1,600 sketches and 100+ comedy songs, and is the author of ‘A Million Years In A Day: A Curious History Of Daily Life, From The Stone Age To The Phone Age’ – an entertaining gallop through the evolution of our daily routines.
