The Hippodrome is the new home of The Imperfect Guide to the Presidential Debates. After a successful launch last autumn, we figure the best place to gamble with the future of the free world is in a casino.

Erich McElroy is back, leading a team of American ex-pats, political nerds and comedy wonks with guests Lembit Opik, David Mills, Grainne Maguire and more, for an evening of comedy, drinking and a look at what the hell is happening in the American presidential race.

After the comedy, the assembled can settle in to watch the Democratic Debate live - with commentary, boos, jeers and cheers provided by the comics and audience into the wee hours.

If you love US politics and don’t love going to work the next day. This is the show for you.
