Seven Minutes in Purgatory 2: Comic Sans

We had such a nice time last month that we're doing it again, ONCE MORE, on Saturday, June 21st, then not again for quite a while.

At Seven Minutes in Purgatory, comedians will be tasked with doing a set alone in a room, with the audience watching via live stream in another room.

Come watch comics handpicked by The Steamroller and Ian Abramson do their best to be funny and have no idea if it's working.

With livestreamed standup from: Adam Burke, Stephanie Hasz, Jeff Steinbrunner, Tim Barnes. Nick Rouley, Alex Kumin, J. Michael Osborne, and more?

If a comedian performs in the woods, and the only people that can hear it are miles away, is it a performance?

Come find out.

Saturday, June 21st 10:30pm @ The Upstairs Gallery. Donations accepted. BYOB.
