The British comedy Dungeons & Dragons podcast Roll Britannia is returning to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham for the UK Games Expo 2026. Coinciding with the convention’s 20th-anniversary celebrations from Friday 29 May to Sunday 31 May, the Rusty Quill Network show will host a dedicated exhibitor stand and a live, audience-led performance.
The live show, titled Your Adventure Awaits, will take place on Saturday, 30 May, from 20:30 to 22:00 BST at the Meeple Theatre in Piazza 5. While tickets for the one-shot event are listed at £7, prospective attendees should note that entry to the Meeple Theatre requires a standard UK Games Expo convention badge in addition to the performance ticket.
Billed as an improvised, audience-led roleplaying session, the late-night performance carries a strict 18+ age rating. This adults-only restriction aligns with the show’s unpredictable nature, in which the cast relies on audience participation to steer the narrative, often resulting in chaotic scenarios and mature comedic themes.
The podcast, which releases weekly episodes blending long-form storytelling with fast-moving tabletop comedy, has established a consistent live presence at the expo, with previous performances in 2024 and 2025. Visitors looking to meet the cast or learn more about the 5e actual play throughout the weekend can find them at stand 2-894.
Following their appearance in Birmingham, the cast will continue their 2026 live tour in London for the official Dungeons & Dragons Fan Expo. Taking place at The O2 across 21 and 22 August, the convention is presented by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast in collaboration with AEG Presents. Roll Britannia is scheduled to perform on Saturday, 22 August, as part of a lineup of live actual play, panels, and fan activities.
