Alex Payne, James Haskell and Mike Tindall, who take over the main stage on Friday afternoon
Mike Tindall, James Haskell and Alex Payne, the trio behind the podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, will host the main stage at the British Shooting Show on the afternoon of Friday 12 February, bringing their trademark banter to the NEC Birmingham.
Mike, James and Alex will welcome guests onto the stage for chat show-style interviews, with plenty of well-known names from television and the shooting world set to join them.
Are Mike Tindall, James Haskell and Alex Payne shooters?
The three are not simply famous faces booked for the occasion. All bring genuine shooting credentials, so visitors can expect plenty of humour alongside real, infectious enthusiasm for the sport that fills the hall around them.
“We all love our shooting, so getting the chance to host the main stage at the British Shooting Show is a real treat,” said Mike. “We’ve got some great guests lined up and, no doubt, James will talk far too much, but that’s what people come for. It’s also a privilege to be hosting the Great British Shooting Awards and celebrating the trade that keeps this sport going.”
“Mike, James and Alex are a perfect fit for the British Shooting Show,” said Simon K. Barr of Time Well Spent Group, which owns the show. “They are brilliant entertainers, but they are also genuine shooters, and that comes across every time they talk about the sport. Their Friday afternoon session is set to be one of the highlights of the show.”
Getting a good spot at the Friday afternoon session
Whether visitors are longstanding fans of the podcast, follow the rugby or simply fancy a laugh between browsing the stands, it is well worth planning the day around the session and arriving at the main stage early to secure a good spot.
