Ed Gamble and James Acaster's podcast Off Menu has returned for a new season.

The hit series, which sees the pair invite a different celebrity guest each week to share their dream dinner, is back for season 12 today (July 10), kicking off with Taskmaster's Sophie Willan.

The season will follow with 19 further episodes, with many more set to dish on their Dream Restaurant meal.

Off Menu is also set to return to the stage, with Live in London coming back in March 2025 for a limited run of two nights at the London Palladium. The dates will be James and Ed's only Off Menu live shows of 2025, with pair hosting a different guest each night.

Fans will be able to get tickets from this Friday (July 12) at 10am, while a pre-sale will be released on Thursday (July 11) at 10am.

"We’re positively drooling at the thought of getting the podcast back out on stage," Ed said. "Also, Benito refused to give me back my insulin until we agreed to do it."

James quoted Gabrielle's classic 'Dreams' as he quipped: “Dreams can come true / Look at me babe, I’m with you / You know you gotta have hope / You know you gotta be strong. See you at the Palladium, everybody!”

The comedians previously toured their podcast – which has run since 2018 – back in 2023, hitting stops across the UK.

The last season of the show featured guests such as Taskmaster's Noel Fielding, Susan Wokoma, John Robins and Sam Campbell, as well as Strictly's Johannes Radebe, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Jason Mantzoukas.

Off Menu is available to stream on podcast platforms.
