Cloud Nine: A stand-up comedy show featuring diverse perspectives and casual conversation to leave you feeling better than when you arrived.
The way we see it, there are two major benefits to going to a stand-up comedy show: 1. Seeing people who are different than you share their perspectives. 2. Tension relief via deep belly laughter. Cloud Nine is a show that achieves both– click here to learn more about this unique show on our website.

*SOLD OUT* Eden Sher: I Was On A Sitcom (18+)
2024-04-26 19:00 - 20:30
I Was On A Sitcom is a one hour comedy solo show about finding out who you are when your TV show ends and your “real life” begins. Because when you’ve played a character on TV for a decade, what exactly does it mean to “be yourself?”
This show offers a rare intimate glimpse inside a popular sitcom actor’s real, raw life. You will walk away feeling like you’ve made a new friend — and learned more about birthing twins than you ever did before. It’s funny, it’s dark, vulnerable, and disarmingly casual — it’s like having a night out with Eden herself, telling you a story over drinks.
I Was On A Sitcom debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023 to a completely sold out run, and received much critical acclaim.
