There is kind of no better comedy Halloween tradition than Matt Ruby and Mark Normand‘s Schtick or Treat. A cavalcade of your favorite comedians of all kinds convene as their favorite comedians, in full costume, to do their most faithful rendition of them as a Halloween tribute (probably). Lasting well over a decade and playing multiple cities including NYC and LA at the same appointed spooky time of the year, Schtick or Treat, was a highlight of not only the Halloween season, but of the comedy scene for the whole year.
Thus, we’re (yes, full disclosure, we have a hand in this) bringing it back from the dead to be yet another very special night of uncanny night with jokes conjured from beyond the mic (or simply just remembered from a signature album or special).
Thus far, the comedy witching hour is summoning:
James Adomian
Barbara Gray
Sammy Mowrey
Curtis Cook
Paul Danke
Danny Sellers
Tyler Jackson
Ellory Smith
Blake Rosier
Jessica Michelle Singer
Simon Gibson
Mike Bridenstine
Andres Parada
Lorena Russi
Roxanne Acree
Maxi Witrak
with many more TBA!
This newly revived Schtick or Treat is set for the actual night of Halloween, Tues. 10/31 at 10PM at the wondrous Lyric Hyperion in Silverlake.
Tickets are only $15 and it’s, for our money, the best bet on Halloween. Go get tickets already right here.
