BBC Hit Podcast 'Miss Me?' Announces First Live Show at Hackney Empire

The hit BBC podcast Miss Me?, hosted by Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver, and produced by Persephonica for BBC Sounds, will make its debut live stage appearance on Thursday 6th March 2025 at London’s iconic Hackney Empire.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday the 13th of December 2024. There will also be a presale tomorrow (Thursday 12th December) for fans who register via the Miss Me? website.

Since its launch in March 2024, Miss Me? has consistently ranked in the top podcast charts, and has been selected by both Spotify and Apple as one of their top shows of 2024. Miss Me? was also crowned Best Entertainment Podcast at the British Podcast Awards. 
 

The show offers a glimpse into the conversations and lives of two lifelong friends who have helped define popular culture in the UK. Singer-songwriter Lily Allen and broadcaster Miquita Oliver have quickly established themselves as a powerful duo in the podcast sphere with their sharp, funny and opinionated, transatlantic conversations.
 

For the first time, Lily and Miquita’s famed down-the-line catchups will be replaced with an intimate and hilarious live show. Fans can expect to hear their scathingly funny takes on music, life, relationships, and everything in between. They’ll also be able to ask their ‘Listen Bitch!’ questions directly to Lily and Miquita at the Hackney Empire. It promises to be an unforgettable evening full of surprises and special moments for our lucky live audience.
 

The Miss Me? live show marks an exciting new chapter for Persephonica, the innovative independent production company behind the BBC Sounds podcast. Known for creating genre-defining podcasts such as Dua Lipa: At Your Service (also for BBC Sounds), Political Currency, and creating The News Agents with Global, Persephonica is now expanding into live events, delivering compelling, cross-platform experiences for its listeners.
 

Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver say:

“Miss Me? is going live! We are so excited to bring Miss Me? to a live audience - and in HACKNEY! A part of London our family have run around in for years… After a year of chatting to each other and sharing our lives with the world - we are ready to get in a room with our audience and feel the energy! See you in 2025!”
 

Dino Sofos, CEO of Persephonica says:

 “Since day one, fans of the podcast have been demanding a live show, so we can’t wait to give them an early Christmas present! Lily and Miquita are natural-born performers and we’re going to make sure this is a really fun night out for everyone lucky enough to join us in Hackney next year.”
