If you’re new to The Socially Distant Sports Bar, welcome. Each week Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero bring you the best sporting clips, documentaries and books they’ve found — celebrating the weird, wonderful and occasionally ridiculous world of sport.
🎟️ LIVE SHOW UPDATE
Our live shows in Cardiff (March 20 & 21) and Carmarthen (April 24) are now completely sold out — thank you so much if you’ve already grabbed tickets. We honestly can’t wait to see you all.
That means the only shows with seats left on this run are our two nights at Hackney Empire in London on April 7th and 8th.
There are just a handful of seats left in the stalls, so if you were thinking about coming along to the London shows, now is definitely the time to grab them.
