Out And About

Catch the cast at live events and conventions in 2016!

29 January, 2016

It's all very well getting to see the Red Dwarf cast in person at live episode recordings - but let's face it, they're a pretty rare occurrence, all things told. Far more common, thankfully, is the opportunity to get out and not only see, but often actually meet, the actors at conventions and live event appearances dotted throughout the year. And now that we're a few weeks into 2016, appearance schedules for the first half of the year are starting to take shape.

The most frequent way you can get to see the cast is at one of the quite frankly staggering number of sci-fi and comic conventions that now take place up and down the country, but a couple of the gang - most notably Craig Charles with his Funk and Soul DJ dates, and Norman Lovett's standup - are also out on the road doing live performances. Here's a run-down of confirmed dates between now and the end of the Spring:

As ever, all events are subject to possible alterations or cancellations - and the above is unlikely to be an exhaustive list, as new events are added all the time. In particular, the various MCM/Memorabilia events have yet to announce their guest lists in full, so they could give you further opportunities to meet the gang. Check out the individual event websites for more information and to get tickets, and when we hear of any more major events, we'll of course bring you news of them!
