Not only will we have three great improv teams performing for you, but if you BRING A WRAPPED GIFT TO THE SHOW, AND YOU’LL ALSO GET A WRAPPED GIFT WHEN YOU LEAVE!
Every present that anyone brings will get put into the big “Convoy’s Pile of Presents.” And then at the end of the show, if you brought a gift to contribute, you’ll get a DIFFERENT present from the pile! A little holiday treat just for you! You can give anything… a handpainted work of art, an obscure smelling candle, a book about old ladies solving crime, a bust of ISaac Newton… anything! Wrap it in wrapping paper, toss it in a Vons bag, use a bunch of tin foil… whatever you want. But make it festive! And yes, all three members of Convoy will be contributing gifts as well!
And we’ve got great guests performing too! Past guests have included great performers from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Grand Crew, Veep, Rick & Morty, Shrinking, The Good Place, Dimension 20, AP Bio, Minx, Key & Peele, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Big Mouth etc, etc.
This month’s guests include:

Siobhan Thompson
Hillary Anne Matthews
Anne Lane
Sydney O’Toole
Albro Lundy
Hayley Huntley
and more!

We run these shows on a “pay what you can” system, but if you can, we have a recommended ticket price of $10. All proceeds, after we pay for the venue, go straight to our special guests!
