------------
Hitchcocktails is a Chicago based improv comedy show and drinking game based on the works of Alfred Hitchcock. Based on an audience suggestion, the cast weave together an intricate Hitchcock-like drama, while holding true to the amount of drinking shown in his movies. You'll barely be able to stand the suspense, and the cast will barely be able to stand.
Cast: Bruce Phillips, Kristen Aviles, Rob Grabowski, Laura Marsh, Jessica Landis
Featured comedian Ateeq Rehman presents a wacky, witty, and maddeningly endearing standup set filled with why he goes to therapy, what he says in therapy, and also why he was uninvited from an orgy. With astute observations and silly presentations on the everyday, this won't be your typical standup show*.
*Only if you've never been to a standup show, otherwise this is pretty par for the course. He is funny, but it's standup. You get the idea.
Located in Richmond's Downtown Arts District, the mission of the nonprofit Coalition Theater is to build an inclusive space where laughter connects people. Proceeds from 2ND BEST FEST help further this mission, supporting performances, comedic education, and community outreach.
