Geek Comedy Hour returns to North Adams! Absurdist alt comedy from the warped and silly Ed Smyth, Seth Brown, and Andrew Quigley.
Ed Smyth creates a whole non-sequitur string of warped historical moments, Wally the Happy Talking Neutrino, the best Neanderthal entertainer in the world, Lenin Live in Vegas, microworld fun, and more.
Seth Brown is North Adam’s premier purveyor of puns, prose, and poetry.
Andrew Quigley offers up a breathless, fast-paced string of quirky useful-to-know considerations on such things as ice cream sandwiches and who has the best slavery escape boast.

She Kills Monster by Qui Nguyen

October 20 and 28 at 2pm
Venable Theatre
The play centers on the oh-so-average Agnes lying in the wake of her totally weird sister Tilly’s death. Agnes embarks on a quest to understand her sister by delving into the world of Tilly’s own design – a world complete with hostile fairies, aggressive monsters, awkward high schoolers, and huge swords. Her story unfolds as the line between reality and the new badass worlds’ blur and Agnes comes closer and closer to understanding her sister – if she can avoid the bugbears first!
The show will be directed by MCLA’s own associate professor of theatre Laura Standley, and feature designs from guest Berkshire painter, puppeteer, and theatre artist David Lane.
