Maggie Hughes DePalo & Adam Gilbert: Comedy Cellar, Chicago & Gen Z | Ep. 35

In Episode 35, comedians Adam Gilbert and Maggie Hughes DePalo join Pat McGann for a laid-back conversation that moves between stand-up, life on the road, and Midwest roots.

Adam shares his path from Indiana to Chicago’s comedy scene and eventually to the Comedy Cellar in New York, along with the realities of touring, open mics, and the occasional rough night on stage. Maggie tells stories from the road, including a memorable encounter with Michael J. Fox at his Nashville fundraiser. 

Plus, Midwest sports parenting, father-daughter dances, and why Lakeview is the best neighborhood to move to post-breakup. Rounding things out are lighter detours into skincare, life choices, and Adam’s decision to cut off the resources.

🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.
