One of our favorite comedy things from 2017 is having its first go around for 2018.

Dungeon, “a stand-up role playing game”, put comedians in the driver’s seat of a streamlined fantasy role play game, even if they’re not that well acquainted with something like D&D. This latest edition will have Janine Brito, Dave Helem, Ian Abramson, Lydia Popovich, and host/Dungeon Master John-Michael Bond.

The next Dungeon is set for 7PM this Saturday Feb. 3rd at Nerdmelt Showroom at Meltdown Comics. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at door. Please go get them here.
