The Allusionist presents Souvenirs

Called “one of the funniest and most educational podcasts around” by The Guardian and “linguistically zesty“ by The New YorkerThe Allusionist is a podcast about language: how and why we humans use it the ways we do, the funny and frustrating ways it shapes our words, thoughts and lives—and how, just when we think we can tame it and ride it around like a rodeo beast, it throws us defiantly into the sawdust. 

The Allusionist has previously made hit stage shows about speed-typing champions, protest cakes and the history of the word “Ms.” Now celebrating its 10th year, the podcast presents a brand-new live show, Souvenirs, which tells the story of a friendship torn apart by… a font. A font? Look, font-related emotions can get VERY intense. 

Join host Helen Zaltzman and musician Martin Austwick for a fun, fascinating and unique stage show.
