Guest Performance

An always popular form in which a comedian performs their unique brand of comedy, usually with nothing more than a mic and their own courage. If you enjoy a rapid-fire night of jokes and stories, a stand-up show might be the perfect fit.

Stand-up

This show is a mixture of performance genres. It could range from stand up, to sketch, to music, or anything in between.
