(NEWARK, NJ) -- Mike Hanford, Jeff Dutton, and Tim Kalpakis are The Sloppy Boys, a party rock band turned podcast phenomenon, coming to New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) on Saturday, October 18, 2025, as part of their sold-out Hustle tour across North America! Showtime is 7:30pm.
The band evolved into one of the most entertaining comedy podcasts today. Each week, the trio delves deep into a beloved cocktail—examining its history, crafting the drink live, and then sipping their creation while taking listeners on a wild ride through topics such as music trivia, Hollywood misadventures, personal stories, and more. The show launched in October 2020 and quickly earned critical acclaim, ranking among Vulture’s top 3 comedy podcasts. Their chemistry and commitment to the bit make live shows a "freewheeling circus of booze news, bizarre quizzes, weird challenges and insane songs”.
Tickets are available for purchase online, by calling 888. GO.NJPAC (888.466.5722), or by visiting the NJPAC Box Office at 1 Center Street, Newark, New Jersey.
