The twice-monthly American podcast, created two years ago by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, has topped the iTunes charts in 9 different countries. It remains a fixture in the top 10 US podcasts and a cult hit the world over. In the past year, Night Vale has also become an equally popular touring live show, performing dozens of sold-out shows across the US and Canada in 2014. Now it is finally coming across the Atlantic.

Welcome to Night Vale tours to 16 European cities this October & November with a never-before- released episode written specifically for the stage ("The Librarian”) starring Cecil Baldwin and featuring British singer-songwriter Mary Epworth.

Described as local news with a twist of Twin Peaks, Welcome to Night Vale is a hypnotic and darkly funny show centered around community updates from the small desert town of Night Vale. It features local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events.

“We didn’t want to make a podcast that sounded like all the other podcasts we were listening to,” explains Fink. "I came up with this idea of a town where every conspiracy theory was true, and people just accepted that as normal life.”
