Evil Genius Comedy, created and produced by comedian James Graves, is a new monthly stand-up showcase designed to spotlight rising talent while building a creative, collaborative comedy community.

Tickets are $15+fees online

2 item minimum for guests

The Bad Erotica Show, created and hosted by comedian Scott Richards, is a shamelessly hilarious night where ten comics read aloud the craziest sex scenes they’ve ever written, to try to win a prize of a bag of $3 chips from the vending machine. Each performer receives a unique, unhinged prompt a week in advance (think “Oregon Trail and Robots” or “Elephant and Banker”), and the results are gloriously chaotic, deeply unserious, and absolutely unforgettable.

The audience gets in on the action by voting for their favorite masterpiece of terrible smut. It’s raunchy, ridiculous, creatively unhinged fun that turns bad writing into great comedy—perfect for fans who like their laughs messy and their erotica… deeply questionable.
