April 13th at 7pm it’s PreGame Of Thrones Book II: How Hodor Got His Groove Hodor!

It is a beloved, best selling fictional phenomena. It’s a hit series on HBO. It’s time to knock it down a peg. PreGame of Thrones Book II: How Hodor Got His Groove Hodor promises to make fun of everything in Game of Thrones you’ve wanted to rip on but were too scared of the crazy friends at your Sunday viewing parties to bring up. Featuring Ice and Fire-themed sketch and stand-up by Guy Branum, Ron Babcock, Joe Starr, and more special guests then you can shake a Frey at.

April 13th at 9pm it’s Horrible Movie Night!

Shout at the movies! We screen the worst films you’ve never seen, and invite YOU to roast them. The best one-liners of the night will win prizes. If you like MST3K and Rifftrax, this is your scene! Your hosts for the evening, John Mathot (Disney’s Phineas & Ferb) and Susan Wright (The Because Show podcast), along with special guest stand-up comedians, will feature 1987’s Deadly Prey! Imagine if First Blood was based on a coloring book instead of a novel. It’s screamingly funny. And we will host the movie’s stars Ted Prior and Dave Campbell for a Q&A after the movie. Plus, there’s FREE POPCORN!!! Come on down to the show — that’s an order!

April 15th at 8pm it’s Harmontown!

What is Harmontown? It’s awesome. It’s unique. It’s one of a kind. It’s something only Dan Harmon (creator of Community and the upcoming Rick and Morty) and Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line is it Anyway) can do. It’s a different show every time and it’s every week. Lucky us! Playing Dungeons and Dragons? It’s happened. Dan Harmon freestyle rapping? Yup, that too. Calling Chevy Chase from stage? Happened…more than once. A celebrity guest? Allison Brie, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs among others have all stopped in. Getting super personal with an intimate audience? Always. It’s Harmontown. It’s awesome. It’s unique. Don’t miss a single week.
