Four friends who have been reviewing and ranking games together for years bring their banter to a historic 1921 Midtown hall, with the McElroy brothers of My Brother, My Brother and Me fame on stage. Live podcast tapings mean new bits, audience energy and jokes you will not hear anywhere else. If you are a McElroy fan or a lifelong gamer, this is your night.

What to expect

A seated historic concert hall with the four hosts on stage for a live show. Expect games talk, tangents and a crowd of devoted listeners laughing at in-jokes. Fans often trade favorite bits in the lobby, and the hosts are known for riffing off the crowd.
