MARCH
The 9:45pm Show: Suggestion Box Improv Comedy (All Ages)

Bring an interesting object, a book, a magazine, a photograph… the comedians use these interesting and unusual “suggestions” to create comedy magic on the spot!

Giant asteroids. Aliens from outer space. Environmental disasters. Enchanted jewelry that can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano that is really, really far away….
Throughout pop culture history the earth has sat on the brink of destruction many times, but which is the scariest, the most absurd or the most unrealistic? Find out as a panel of comedians debate and YOU (the Audience!) decide who wins!
This show is similar to the interactive discussion panels you might see at a comicon.

So don’t hesitate, make your reservation today before the planet explodes!
