Tasting Menu

Sample three delicious shows back to back to back!

First, Last, Best, Worst

First, Last, Best, Worst is an improvised storytelling show where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Inspired by a single unusual object suggested by the audience, four improvisers draw on their own real experiences—sharing the first, last, best, and worst moments that object evokes. As each scene unfolds, a new object emerges to inspire the next round, creating an unexpected chain of hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply human stories.

Presented by Steel City Riffers

Cast: Eddy Rockefeller, Liam Callen, Dan Holman, Josh Cox

Phil, The Attention Seeker

Phil Lee is 72. He identifies as a 30-year-old trapped in an old, increasingly uncooperative body.

After a lifetime of talking too much, questioning everything and behaving in ways his wife frustratingly describes as “attention-seeking”, Phil has finally found somewhere it’s actively encouraged: stand-up comedy.

Presented by Phil Lee

1 vs 6 Chairs

Prepare for a debate where the only rule is that there are no rules. ‘1 vs 6 Chairs’ is a live improv comedy show that turns your opinions into a hilarious battlefield. Host Big Dave invites an audience member to share a hot take, the spicier, the better. Then, a lone improviser steps up to defend it, while six other comedians mercilessly attack it in a tag-team format that’s as fast as it is funny.

The result is a whirlwind of quick wit, absurd arguments, and pure entertainment. Forget fact-checkers; our improvisers rely on made-up statistics, fake expert testimonials, and wild tangents to make their points. One moment they’re debating the merits of toast, the next they’re acting out a dramatic scene set in a laundromat. With a new opinion every show, you’ll never see the same performance twice. It’s a riot of creativity and audience interaction, where your voice is the starting point for a comedy explosion.

CAST: Andrew Smith, Austin Beare-Bath, Charlotte Casey, Mikey Burford, Millsya Wongso, Susann Beier.
