Michigan Radio welcomes NPR’s “Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me!” to Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor - August 31, 2023 - SOLD-OUT

Michigan Radio will welcome NPR’s popular news quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! to Ann Arbor’s Hill Auditorium for a live show on Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 7:30 PM. The show is part of The Ann Arbor Summer Festival (A2SF) and is one of the ticketed shows during their 2023 season.

Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! is NPR’s Peabody Award-winning comedy news quiz show. Host Peter Sagal leads a rotating panel of comedians, writers, listener contestants, and celebrity guests through a rollicking review of the week’s news. Contestants vie for the most coveted prize in all of public radio: a custom-recorded greeting by any of our cast members for their voicemail.

Tickets for the Ann Arbor show are sold out, with exception to a special Meet & Greet package through Michigan Radio. Meet & Greet packages include great tickets to the show and passes to the Meet & Greet following the show. For more information click here.
