Sorry, I had a huge breakup that led to an even huger mental breakdown, attempts, then mental hospital and rehab. But we're back now and got news for the rest of the show!

Sorry for lack of new episodes, it's been a lot to deal with, both behind the scenes for the show and just personal sadness. But here is a little one-shot I did with some old and new friends of the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars from 287 ratings
  • I adore this show - perfect mix of spooky, absurdity, weirdos, body horror, plus a healthy dose of queerness and anticapitalism just to put a cherry on top. Joel is a fantastic DM (even when character voices start running together, haha) and the cast sound like they're having a great time (and seem like genuinely good people to boot). Desperately wish there were more eps!

  • Real Play tabletop at its best

    The crew from Critical Bits is at it again, this time with the wonderful Monster of the Week system. Follow a trio of oddballs who are more than they seem as they take a post-college road-trip to see the sights and encounter the bizarre and supernatural.

    “Comedy-Horrror” may be an odd genre, but it really fits this series that bungee cords between deep laughs and legit chills with aplomb. Don’t sleep on getting in on the ground floor of this new podcast, you’ll look forward to each new episode... more

Frequently Asked Questions About Oddity Roadshow

What is Oddity Roadshow about and what kind of topics does it cover?

This show blends comedy and horror through improvisational actual-play sessions built on the Monster of the Week framework. Across road-trip and small-town adventures, the cast leans into fast-paced banter, surreal turn-taking, and body-horror elements wrapped in a lighthearted, unstable sense of camaraderie. Viewers can expect sharp character work, inventive world-building, and meta-commentary on podcasting and fandom, all delivered with high energy and a playful, transgressive sense of humor. A standout is the seamless mix of humor, horror, and pop-culture allusions, along with episodes that push storytelling boundaries while keeping the core trio's chemistry front and center.
