It’s a show where we let sketch teams and solo performers try some shit out!
Some will be good, some will be bad but it will all be weird and new and that’s what makes it fun!
It’s experimental sketch at its finest! Come on, you know you need a spanking.
This Monday, we have…

Grin and Bear It: A character clown comedy where female film & TV tropes unravel—dragging the audience along for the wild ride!
Emily Nicole Hansen plays THAT female protagonist—you know, the one you’ve seen over and over and over again. The show explores iconic female film and TV archetypes, from the “cool girl” and “working mom” to the “manic pixie dream girl,” “femme fatale,” “evil stepmother,” and “good girl.”
In this character clown comedy, the familiar tropes start to unravel as the real woman behind the roles emerges—tearing through the script and pulling the audience along for a chaotic and cathartic rewrite. “Grin and Bear It” is an interactive, overactive theatrical experience that challenges stereotypes with wit, heart, and complete absurdity.
Content Warning: This performance includes shapewear.
