Yup, that’s right, it’s weekly, and it’s a podcast too! Attend a town meeting in a land free of brevity, where Mayor Dan Harmon (creator of Community) and Comptroller Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) take another small, vodka-soaked step toward colonizing the moon. Evening may include ineffectual rants, songs, shameful stories, special guests (Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs have all stopped in), forehead sweat and repeated exposure to the phrases “like” , “uh”, “sort of” and “you know.”

The Beards of Comedy (Joe Zimmerman, TJ Young, Andy Sandford, and Dave Stone) deliver smart, quirky and refreshing humor deeply rooted in stand-up and lightly blended with avant-garde elements of music, sketch and improv. In 2009 the Beards released Comedy for People; they recently debuted on Bob & Tom and released second album Cardio Mix on Comedy Central Records. Featuring special guest Maria Bamford!

$8 in advance, $10 at the door!

Thursday at 9:00 is Set List!

From the minds of Paul Provenza and Troy Conrad… Set List is back from sold-out shows at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, and a regular run in London. Top comics are given a never-before-seen “set list” of strange and outrageous topics the second they walk onstage, and perform seamlessly as if its the act they normally do, while the audience follows their list on the projection screen. Complete comedy in the moment. This week features Matt Braunger, Ari Shaffir, Ben Gleib, The Sklar Brothers, Alonzo Bodden, Dana Gould, Rick Overton, and your host Matt Kirshen!

$8 in advance, $10 at the door!

Thank you all so much for your continued support of the showroom. Follow us on Twitter and track us on our blog for more info about any of these shows!
