Critical Role, the entertainment media company behind the hit actual play series of the same name, today announced the 2027’s live show schedule for The Nerdy Best Friends Tour, bringing three distinct adventures to stages across North America and Europe in 2027. From April through November, Sam Riegel, Brennan Lee Mulligan, and Matthew Mercer will each take a turn as Game Master, leading the Darrington Brigade in Toronto, the world of Campaign 4’s Aramán in Indianapolis, and Bells Hells in Stockholm.
What began as a simple home game among friends has turned into a worldwide community around Critical Role. The Nerdy Best Friends Tour takes that shared experience on the road, inviting Critters (the Critical Role fanbase) and newcomers alike to watch the cast roleplay LIVE! Each show will feature a different party, Game Master, and standalone story, making it an easy jumping-on point without needing to catch up on every campaign. Whether you’re reuniting with familiar characters or meeting them for the first time, there’s a new adventure waiting at every stop!
“With a new Game Master and cast of characters at each stop, fans in every city will get to experience a different side of Critical Role,” said Brittany Walloch-Key, Critical Role’s Director of Events. “We can’t wait to reunite with our nerdy best friends, both at the table and in the audience!”
VIP tickets will be available for all shows, offering early entry, access to the 45-minute Q&A preshow and the best seats in the house. Subscribers to Beacon, Critical Role’s membership and streaming service, will enjoy the earliest access to tickets through the platform’s exclusive presale starting Wednesday, November 4th, ahead of the general on sale Friday, November 6th.
