Free Shows and Jams

The PIT is the only theater in town that offers several
free performance opportunities EACH WEEK!

All of our "jams" are free and are open to ANYONE! Just show up!

Sketch Lab - 11:00pm Mondays

Got some sketches you wanna experiment with? Well that's why we made The Sketch Lab! Come try out fresh new sketches in front of people, or bring your old faves to see how they play in front of a new audience!
Be sure to get here by 10:30 to sign up so you stand the best chance of getting to participate!

Bring It! - 11:00pm TUESDAYS

The PIT's very own open mic. You can do anything you'd like with your 3-minute slot: standup comedy, solo character pieces, variety acts, and anything else under the sun.

IMPRODOME – 11:15pm WEDNESDAYS

A great chance to flex your improv mojo. Everybody gets a chance to get up and play in groups of three for five minutes. Don't have a group? We'll put you in one!
