Glitterbomb
featuring An Inconvenient Spoof
Thursday, July 30th│7:30pm
Glitterbomb
Games! Fun! You! Shortform fast paced improv games is what Glitterbomb is all about. And the best part is, you get to be part of the action! Summer season is the best season and we have the greatest party in town.
An Inconvenient Spoof
Global warming? Important, sure. But what about the secret history of competitive lawn mowing? Or the underground mafia of sourdough starters? Welcome to An Inconvenient Spoof, the completely improvised mockumentary where a team of "expert" filmmakers takes your weirdest, most niche obsessions and turns them into a hard-hitting, utterly baseless investigative report. You provide the hyper-fixation; we provide the facts we completely made up five seconds ago.
*Doors are locked 15 minutes after the show begins.
