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.

🔥 Heroes, villains, monsters, and mayhem
No scripts. No do-overs. No idea what happens next.
Just improvised epic quests where the laughs are as big as the dragons.
