Political Gabfest 20th Anniversary Tour: Live in Chicago Edition

The Political Gabfest is turning 20, and we’re taking the party on the road to celebrate!
Twenty years of sharp debate, insider analysis, and conversations that make politics actually interesting. Stephen Colbert once called the Gabfest “a conversation among four smart friends, where YOU are the fourth.” And for two decades, that’s exactly what it’s been, your weekly guide through the political chaos. Now it’s time to celebrate in person with the hosts who’ve been making sense of the madness since 2005.
Join Emily Bazelon of The New York Times Magazine, John Dickerson of CBS News, and David Plotz of City Cast as they bring their signature wit, wisdom and cocktail chatter for a special 20th anniversary live taping in Chicago at Park West. Twenty years. One unforgettable night. Be there!
VIP Experience: Get gabbing with the Gabfesters by snagging one of our limited VIP packages and join Emily, John, and David for an exclusive pre-show reception. We’re talking drinks, lite bites, and face time with the hosts. Plus, premium seating for the show. It’s your chance to ask the questions, share your hot takes, and toast to 20 years of political discourse done right.
