🎟️ 🍻 Step into Skits & Giggles: Volume Five, an all-new lineup of live sketch comedy for anyone who's ever quoted a Key & Peele or SNL bit at a dinner party. Our cast writes and performs a brand-new set of original sketches, featuring everything from council meetings gone feral to Australia's second best breakdancer. Expect whip-smart satire, characters you'll be quoting on the drive home, and at least one musical meltdown. Whether you're a die-hard sketch nerd or just curious what all the fuss is about, Skits & Giggles is a night of sharp, fast, deeply silly fun.

Their support helps us maintain a permanent home for live improv, creative training, and community programs.

Rent is not the exciting part of theatre. It is, however, the part that makes having a theatre possible.
