Start the new year with laughter. Every year Theatre 99 and the Charleston City Paper present Charleston Comedy Festival which brings in some of the hottest improv, sketch, and stand-up artists from Chicago, New York, Canada, Atlanta, and Los Angeles to the city of Charleston for a fun weekend.
The Charleston Stand-Up Competition finals will kick off with a Tuesday night show at Theatre 99. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, there will be shows by local troupes Cats Hugging Cats, Full Love Throttle, Neckprov, Hot Pants, Moral Fixation, and Human Fireworks. Out-of-town performers Nate Baratze, The Shock T’s, and the Village Theatre will take over the Charleston Ballet Theatre on Thursday for a night of stand up, sketch, and improv.
On Friday night, choose from 15 shows at various venues across town, including a show by Robot Johnson, Introducing Fish Taco, and This is Chucktown at South of Broadway Theatre in North Charleston and a stand up show featuring Nate Baratze, Dave and Ethan, and Tom Keller at the Pour House on James Island.
Downtown venues will be packed to the gills too with performers like Todd Barry, J. Reid, and Kenny Z on both Friday and Saturday nights. For more information and tickets, visit www.CharlestonComedyFestival.com
