Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

Running since the 90s, the show is currently hosted by Peter Sagal, and each episode brings on a group of contestants to be quizzed on the latest news stories in a deeply funny way. On one hand, you never know what you're gonna get because the guests rotate. But on the other hand, you can always expect to laugh, no matter the episode.

Throughout the years, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me has changed formats a number of times. Until 2020, they recorded in front of a live studio audience in Chicago every single Thursday. I don’t think I have to explain why 2020 made it difficult to hold events with a live audience, do I? When the pandemic hit, the show switched over to digital; each contestant stayed in their own home and everything was put together in post. Within the past few years, the show has resumed filming in front of an audience, but with a slight twist - they go on tour! They make their rounds every year, touring the country and recording live episodes for fans at home. And this year, they’re headed straight for you, Minneapolis!! Get your tickets now and be a part of the wackiest news report you’ll ever see.

Haven’t you ever wanted to be in the audience of a game show? Of course you have; everyone has. Half the fun of watching a show recorded in front of a live audience is the reactions of the crowd; how their reactions to each question amplifies your reaction, making for more laughs and more fun. But what if you actually got to be a part of that audience instead of enjoying the show through a tv screen?? What if YOU were the laugh track? Ever since Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me began taking their show on the road, that opportunity has been given to countless fans across the country. And now, it’s your turn. Yes, you. I’m talking directly to you, the person reading this. If you ever wanted a chance to watch a live game show that will leave you in stitches, the time is now.
