FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE DO OUR COMEDIANS COME FROM?

Our headliners are among the top comedians touring the country. Many of them have been on Def Comedy Jam, BET, The Late Show Circuit, HBO, Showtime and Comedy Central, as well as other television programs and feature films. Many of them you may have heard of or seen; others not, but they are all funny.

Feature (middle) acts are generally up-and-coming comedians from throughout the U.S., although we also occasionally dip into our strong pool of local talent for feature acts.

HOW ARE THE SHOWS “RATED”?

Most shows are the equivalent to movies in the PG-13 to R-rated categories. This is live comedy and it is for adults, so it is spontaneous and you should expect some adult language and content. We also have some shows in the PG range and even Gospel; on the other hand, some shows are very adult-oriented; these shows are generally noted on our calendar. If you have a question about a particular comedian, you might check him or her out online, or give us a call.
