The Gist Live With Mike Pesca: A Cavalcade of Frippery, Bedlam, and Animal Husbandry

The Gist’s first ever live show, featuring storyteller Matthew Dicks, economics reporter Adam Davidson, and music writer Chris Molanphy. Plus, audience members will be able to submit their own “Is That Bullshit” questions to Maria Konnikova from The New Yorker, who will have to rapidly vet the research on stage using her phone. And our cocktail guys Peter Thomas Fornatale and Chris Wertz will be on hand, mixing drinks for audience members. We’ve even lined up a top-secret, special music guest. (Hint: Mike Pesca adores this musical guest so much he has memorized and often recited lyrics on our show. [Bonus Hint: Not Bruce]) As with every episode of The Gist, it will end with The Spiel.
