halloween comedy – The Comedy Bureau

Pick of the Day: SALEM 10/28

To keep in the Halloween spirit (and do a show safely while the pandemic still rages on), Drew Anderson and Julia Shiplett are putting together a very special, very exclusive live reading of their comedy pilot, SALEM.

You may not get to do trick-or-treating or endless party-hopping, but you can tune in what might be the perfect comedy thing for this Halloween season. They describe it as:

Mere days before Salem’s 10th Annual Harvest Festival, something strange happens that derails the big day and makes everyone start to question if there could be a witch among them. If you’ve ever wondered what THE CRUCIBLE meets THE OFFICE but very gay would be like, SALEM is your answer.

Supported by many of the very best comedy folks from all over the country including: Mary Beth Barone, Carmen Christopher, Drew Droege, Robby Hoffman, Molly Kearney, Langston Kerman, Marty Miller, Aparna Nancherla, Larry Owens, Rachel Sennott, Karolena Theresa, Sydnee Washington, and Ben Wasserman

SALEM is set to go live on Wed. Oct. 28th at 5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET. RSVP for Zoom link w/a suggested donation of $5-$10 here.

‘Tis the spooky season and that means that the annual comedians-donning-a-costume-of-another-comedian-for-a-giant-show is coming soon!

Schtick or Treat (presented by Mark Normand and Matt Ruby), now in its 11th year, is back at the Virgil on Sunday, Oct. 28th at 7PM with wonderful hosts Jason Saenz and Nick Turner. As we said, your favorite comedians around town (and around the country) will dress up and perform as famous comedians, dead or alive. It’s always a blast (even that one year where an entire back table dressed up as ghosts and kept saying “boo” the whole time).

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 cash at door. Get them in advance here!
