NEW SHOW ALERT!!!!! We have a brand new show debuting on the TIM stage on Friday nights at 9pm starting in September. Get ready for a healthy dose of nostalgia as our improvisers discuss the pop culture of the past 40 years. Picture if you will a band of comedians digging into the top stories of the past one year at a time. Each week we will pick a year between 1980 and 2024 and jump into the TIMe Machine to drop some historic jokes on the past. I love when we get to premiere new shows, mark your calendar for September 6th as we take our first trip in the TIMe Machine!

There are only a few days left to submit a team to the 10th Annual Tucson Comedy Arts Festival! We can't wait to host our super-sized festival with events October 10th-19th! If you have a team interested in performing you can submit it here by August 23rd!
