This show is part comedy showcase, part creative chaos, and part “wait… can I do this too?” 👀😄
Welcome to Comedy Outlet Mondays — where the news is secure, the mic is open, and local performers get their moment to shine. 🎭✨
You’ll see a rotating lineup of local acts trying out stand-up, improv, characters, bits they swear are “almost ready,” and things that absolutely will never be repeated again (by choice or by law).
AND THEN…
🕘 Around 9:00pm, we open it up for a FREE improv jam for ALL skill levels.
Never performed before? Perfect.
Been doing comedy forever? Also perfect.
Just want to jump in and see what happens? That’s the whole point.

🎭 We break them beyond repair
😂 No script. No filter. No survivors (journalistically speaking)

🚨🤖 HUMANS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 🤖🚨
The robots have officially taken over… but unfortunately for them, they forgot to program a sense of humor.
So now it’s up to the most questionable team of heroes ever assembled (aka: us) to save the world using improv comedy, bad decisions, and our good looks.
Join us for a night of chaos, laser beams, questionable alliances, and the kind of jokes that would definitely get us vaporized first in a robot uprising.
💥 Will humanity survive?
💥 Will the robots learn empathy?
💥 Will someone accidentally flirt with a Roomba?
(Statistically… yes.)
🌐 Be part of the absolutely unnecessary but highly entertaining battle for humanity!
