Who deserves to be thrown overboard?
Four infamous figures from the ancient world are on a rapidly sinking mythical ship. Four brilliant experts make the case for why their iconic classical character should be the one consigned to the depths. Who will sink, and who will swim? The final decision rests with you.
On Thursday 1 October 2026, Overboard! returns to London for an evening of witty arguments, sharp rhetoric and ruthless audience judgment. Hosted in collaboration with Bloomsbury Academic and generously supported by Linklaters, this year's event will take place in Linklaters new auditorium at 20 Ropemaker St, EC2Y 9AR. Doors open at 6:30pm with the debate beginning at 7pm. Canapes, drinks and riveting conversation will follow. Bloomsbury will also be selling books by our speakers.
Don't miss this hilarious live debate rife with impossible choices and audience-led drama.
Early bird tickets are available for £10 until 1 September. Standard tickets will be available afterward for £20.
