12:30 – FRIENDS & GARFIELD

1:00 – A. E. STARKEY’S MEOWTACULAR CATSTRAVAGANZA
Cats have nine lives, and so does this show! Resurrected from the dead maw of a decade ago, literary novella-ist A. E. Starkey returns with relentless cat jokes, cat sketches, and a dog dressed like a cat–or she’ll just ramble for twenty-five minutes about cats. Who can tell? This show is as quixotic and capricious as a cat about to knock your beloved Grandma Muriel’s ashes off the mantle. Silly kitty. Grandma always hate you.
Featuring: Adrienne Starkey, Brett Cole, Dayna Bryant, Amy Nelson

1:30 – LYRICALLY INCLINED
It’s amazing how a word can pop up in so many different songs! In Lyrically Inclined, three contestants will be given a word or a category of words, and then have to sing as many songs as they can think of containing that word!

3:00 – MISSION MASTER
Heavily inspired by the British show Task Master. In this game show I’m gonna make my comedy friends compete in whatever ridicuolous games I cook up. Their mission: Get the most points racked up by the end of the show to win bragging rights and the mission master prizes. My mission: Hand out points and rank my friends meaninglessly. The best part? Players won’t really know what they’ve gotten themselves into until they’re on stage! Hilarious chaos is sure to ensue!
Featuring: Carissa Edwards, Nate Breshears, Jake Forrester, Chandra Howard
