Curious Comedy Theater tweaks the comedy-club formula with inventive improvisation, sketch, and multidisciplinary merrymaking, wiping smiles onto the faces of comedy fans in an intimate performance space with a full bar. Headed up by Stacey Hallal, the players tote their skills to Curious Comedy Theater from diverse theater, standup, and arts scenes.
