FOX Sports’ Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are staple faces on the sidelines during the NFL season. But this summer, fans will see them on a completely different stage. Following their success on the network and their hit Calm Down podcast, Andrew and Thompson are now up for something massive. .

“WE ARE BACK!!💥” posted the official page of Calm Down Podcast on Instagram. “We will be LIVE from @hollywoodimprov & @netflixisajoke on May 6th! Tickets are on sale now LFG! 💪”

Andrews and Thompson are going to be part of the 2026 Netflix Is A Joke festival, which will take place from 4th to 10th May.

Calm Down with Erin and Charissa is scheduled to take the stage on May 6th, 7:30 pm, at the Hollywood Improv room. This is yet another win for the two extremely successful broadcasters.

The podcast is known for its candid conversations and covers anything and everything that two girlfriends discuss.  Since launching on iHeartRadio in 2021, the show has grown to have more than 400 episodes, 60k+ followers on YouTube, and thousands of monthly listeners.
