The Free Beer & Hot Wings Show is heading back to the Island this spring, and once again, Club Four One and the Island Showroom will transform into live broadcast stages for a full day of laughs, chaos, and no-filter commentary.
On Friday, May 15, 2026, the nationally syndicated show returns to Island Resort & Casino for two live events: an early-morning radio broadcast and a no-rules nighttime stage show. If you’ve been before, you already know the energy. If you haven’t, this is the year to fix that.
Tickets and hotel packages are available, and with limited seating for the morning show, planning ahead is the move.
A Radio Show With Serious Staying Power
Hosted by Gregg “Free Beer” Daniels, Chris “Hot Wings” Michels, Steve, Kelly, and Maitlynn, The Free Beer & Hot Wings Show has built a massive following by being unapologetically honest, funny, and wildly unpredictable.
What started as a small-market radio show has grown into a nationally syndicated staple heard across multiple states. The format blends sharp commentary, audience interaction, and fan-favorite segments like Dumber Than The Show Trivia and Hot Wings’ Hot Takes. Sports, pop culture, current events, and whatever happens in the room are all fair game.
Seeing the show live adds an entirely different layer. The jokes land harder. The crowd becomes part of the show. And the night performance? That’s where things really go off the rails.
Two Shows. One Long, Loud Friday.
Live Morning Radio Show
The day kicks off early with a live broadcast from Club Four One.
- Time: 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. ET
- Doors Open: 5:30 a.m.
- Location: Club Four One
- Seating: Limited
This is the full radio show experience, recorded live with the energy of a studio crowd fueling the chaos.
Live at Night Show
Later that evening, the crew takes the stage in the Island Showroom for a performance that leaves radio rules behind.
- Time: 8:00 p.m.
- Doors Open: 7:15 p.m.
- Location: Island Showroom
No FCC. No filters. Expect sharp jabs at local news, crowd interaction, and plenty of moments that could never make it on air.
Ticket & Hotel Packages
Island Resort & Casino is offering several ways to turn the show into a full getaway:
- $25: One ticket includes both shows
