Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! We’re thankful for each and every person who comes through our doors and helps keep local comedy alive. The community here at Coalition is full of incredible people who pour so much time and energy into making it all happen every single week. You’re the best of the best - it’s a gift to get to make funny stuff with great people, for great people, so THANK YOU!

Enjoy this photo dump of our annual Camp Coalition getaway in October, a time where our community gets to spend a whole weekend in the woods together singing karaoke, shooting each other in archery tag, and eating surprisingly elaborate & themed meals 🏕️

🌟Starring Robert Mac🌟

Back by popular demand! You’ll feel like you’ve been transported straight to an underground indie (OoOo) comedy club in the Big Apple, except this time, it’s right here in RVA!

This Thanksgiving weekend, bring your family (yes, bring Grandma too!) for a night of New York pizza, big city, stand-up comedy club FLAVOR. We’re bringing the best of the best in comedy, you just bring your people! (...and some turkey legs. Just kidding. Kind of.)

Both shows this night are a clean comedy event, perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking for something HILARIOUS to do the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Starring-
Headliner: Robert Maccomedy
Robert Mac is an award-winning comedian and motivational humorist known for his smart, subtle, and delightfully silly comedy. He’s the Grand Prize Winner of Comedy Central’s Laugh Riots competition and has appeared on Last Comic Standing, NBC’s Late Friday, and he is a resident of Dry Bar Comedy. His clever, clean material has earned him fans nationwide, and now he’s bringing his wit and charm to Richmond for one night only.

Featuring: Francesca Lyn

“Comedian Francesca Lyn is the best thing to happen to Virginia stand-up comedy in all my time on Earth. She is a scholar, a comics editor and writer, and the reason Webster’s replaced the definition of ‘Cool’ with a photo - a photo of Francesca Lyn. You don’t want to miss Lyn’s hilarious wit and charm on stage.” -Sarah Ahmed

Host: Sarah Ahmed
Sarah Ahmed is based out of Richmond, VA where she’s performed stand-up since 2015. She’s a comedian and stand-up teacher whose comedy blends personal experiences, politics, and a dash of other stuff, too. She’s supported by her loving husband Jesse, her scrumdiddylumptious, loving 1 year old son, and her VERY competitively loving dog, Eva Pizza.

AND special guest comedians.

Two shows, one night, endless laughs.

Will you need a laugh after arguing during Thanksgiving dinner with the uncle you only see twice a year? Maybe you’ll need something fun to bring your sister-in-law’s boyfriend Mark to because you didn’t realize they’d be staying in your guest room the ENTIRE weekend and he only ever wants to talk about the day trading online course he’s taking? Or perhaps you have a cool chill family (stop bragging) and you’re just a big fan of very good comedy. Regardless of the reason, we’ve got what you need this weekend with four great post-Thanksgiving shows! Check out rvacomedy.com for tickets and details
