In this event, Ira Glass hosts an actual episode of the radio program, performed onstage by some of our favorite contributors. Dan Savage, Starlee Kine, and Mike Birbiglia tell stories. David Rakoff and Dave Hill conduct a ‘special investigation.’ Plus a new cartoon by Chris Ware, additional visuals by Arthur Jones, and a very special appearance by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer! The performance lasts around two hours. We captured the whole thing with a bunch of HD cameras, and sent it live to movie theatres all over the country.

It’s a pretty fun night. We hope you’ll come.

JUST ADDED: for all you fans in TORONTO and VANCOUVER, Canada, you will have the chance to see the encore show at 7pm on Monday, May 11th! Click here for tickets.




The Live Show Poster!

Artist Travis Bone designed this lovely poster for the show that we sent live to movie theatres on April 23rd:

If you weren't one of the ten winners of the hand-printed editions we announced at the live show (and over ten thousand people entered, so let's face it, the odds aren't great), have no fear! We'll be printing them commercially and eventually selling them in our online store.
