THE fact-loving folks behind top-rated podcast No Such Thing As A Fish (NSTAAF) are bringing their new live show to The Ulster Hall in Belfast on March 27 and Dublin's Vicar Street on March 28.

Founded in 2014, NSTAAF is now one of the most successful podcasts in Britain and Ireland with an average of 1.7 million listeners per week.

Hosts Dan Schreiber, James Harkin, Anna Ptaszynski and Andrew Hunter Murray are also the brains behind the Beeb's hit quiz show QI – the so-called 'QI Elves' – with the podcast being a direct outlet for the most bizarre and/or hilarious facts they discover each week.

The team have recently been regaling sold-out audiences with their unique brand of educational banter. The live show includes a live recording of the podcast, prefaced by a 'first half' featuring the most astonishing facts the team have found from the year’s news.

Co-host Dan Schreiber says: "This is massively exciting for us. We started as four dorks sitting around a single microphone trying to make each other laugh.

"Things have changed a bit since we started – we now have four microphones – but it’s a thrill to know there are hundreds of thousands of other people who love the same wild and hilarious facts that we do."
