Rip City on A Boat
In partnership with Charleston Harbor Tours, we brought along some of Charleston’s wackiest performers for a night of comedy on the low seas (the Charleston Harbor). Part Comedy Show, Part Sunset Cruise, but all parts good time!
Keep an eye out for our next boat show or sigh up for our email list to get first crack at tickets.
Rip City At The Movies
Another great local business that we love to partner with is the Terrace Theatre. Every years we put together a collection of short films, sketches, animations, and music videos and screen them at the Terrace. It’s so awesome to see everyone’s work on the big screen and is a really special night.
Holiday Showtacular
To celebrate the holidays, we booked 5 killer bands at the Music Farm to do either holiday covers or original songs. And then comedians did bits in between the changeovers. It’s so silly and fun and overwhelmingly festive!

Quite Literally, anything.
Although we started with the rule of no stand up or improv, they definitely both bleed into the work we do. If you wanted to do stand up as a character, totally fine. If you wanted to improvise but have some of it planned, sounds cool.
In the past we've had: sketch comedy, music, puppetry, burlesque, clown, drag, original videos, pole dancing, poetry, live painting, magic, theatre of the absurd, avante garde, performance art, etc, etc, etc....
