While we may be hosting a spelling bee on our stage most days through October 4, that doesn’t mean we’re not getting ready for the next show in our season lineup… Mark your calendar for SAM KISSAJUKIAN: 300 PAINTINGS!

In 2021, Sydney comedian Sam Kissajukian decided to quit stand-up, rent an abandoned cake factory, and become a painter. Over the course of a six-month manic episode, he created 300 large-scale paintings, unknowingly documenting his mental state through the process. In this hilarious, fascinating, and wildly original show, Sam brings audiences on a rollercoaster ride that explores the ties between art, mental health, and creativity.

Tickets are available now!
