Ministry of Absurdism Myths and Legends was great fun last week! A big thank you to all the excellent comedians and to our brilliant audience, especially Team Inches who won the coveted Legend Cup!

An extra big thank you to Elysium who have always been good to us. As of June Elysium won't be Elysium anymore - BUT! The wonderful Scott is taking the venue over and it will become Down By Here...and will spread to the back rooms (currently the galleries).

The next Ministry of Absurdism will be a MUSIC SPECIAL. July 9th, 7:30 Down By Here. Be down by there.
