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.

Best case scenario? You’re in the next video. 😉
