Our first performance (night of fun and laughter) will be Saturday, October 2, at 7pm.  This season, we’ve got some brand new games and at least one brand new face as well as some old games and faces that you’ve come to know and laugh at through the years.

If you’ve never been to one of our performances then this is the time to do it!  Don’t be afraid.  Audience participation is strictly on a volunteer basis and the only people who look silly is us.

Date: Saturday, October 2
Time: 7pm
Location:  6004 NE 72nd Ave. Vancouver, WA 98661.  Get a map

We don’t charge admission but we do accept suggested donations of 5$/person, 2 cans of food, or  personal care items  to benefit those less fortunate.  We donate a portion of all proceeds to local homeless charities.

We hope to see you there!
