Saturday 7th September
The deadline to buy tickets to the next RSK Convention is:

If we do not reach a certain number of ticket sales by the deadline date... then this event will no longer continue to exist.
It would be very sad if this happened... so PLEASE,
do your bit and help support the ONLY RSK related event
on the planet!!!
We've also added a donation button and a GoFundMe link to hopefully contribute towards the survival of the event. So if you are a genuine RSK fan and would like to help support the cause... please donate what you can. We really appreciate anything you can give. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for the previous convention... this event could not have been possible without your support, so for this we are forever thankful.
We would encourage you all to buy your tickets for the next event asap... this not only secures your place... it also ensures that this very niche & unique event continues to exist.
The 2nd 'RSK Convention' will be held at the same location as the 1st one... which is:
The Lighthouse Venue
Unit 12 Centenary Park
Coronet Way
Salford
M50 1RE
From 1pm till 10pm
The 'RSK CONVENTION' is an annual convention/event celebrating all of the weird and wonderful things about Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant & Karl Pilkington... including all of their bodies of work as a collective... as well as individuals.
Whether you're a fan of the famous 3 from the good old XFM days... or you're just a fan of The Office, Extras or Idiot Abroad... this event will be right up your street!!!
This actual convention/event was merely just suggested as an idea by a fan on a RSK Facebook group back in late August 2021. Many fans/members of that said group (including myself, Steven O'Halloran, Managing Director of TIMERYDER PRODUCTIONS) reacted very positively towards actually making it a reality... so, here we are today!!!
We are totally unofficial, we have no massive sponsorship deals, nor do we have any direct connection to XFM, HBO, Ricky, Steve or Karl etc... so this is just a very humble event, created by the fans... especially for the fans... so please do not expect thousands of people to be there, with miles & miles of trade stands and unlimited content.
As much as we'd love 'The RSK Convention' to be as big as that... we are a long way away from ever competing with the likes of 'Comic Con' unfortunately.
This event is a great opportunity to dress up in RSK related Fancy Dress/Cosplay outfits and meet other like-minded people/fans who also have a shared passion for all things Ricky, Steve & Karl.
Whether you'd like to attend dressed as
Paul 'The Party Animal' Parker... or as 'Andy Millman'...
No matter what RSK related outfit you decide to come in... ALL fancy-dress is welcomed & actually encouraged. We will be offering a cash prize along with the coveted award for best outfit at the next convention... so you better start making those wings if you intend on turning up as Man-Moth.
