Get ready for laughs this summer! The wildly popular Marblehead comedy show Keg-n-Komedy returns to Marblehead Little Theatre on Saturday, August 2nd. After another sellout performance last year, this unique event combines hilarious improv comedy with complimentary craft beer. Additionally, audiences can participate in a joke contest with prizes before the main show begins. Furthermore, the collaboration between Bentwater Brewery, Silly Theatre Productions, and Marblehead Little Theatre promises an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
About the Marblehead Comedy Show Experience
This isn’t your typical comedy night. First, doors open at 7pm for this special Marblehead comedy show at the historic Marblehead Little Theatre. Located at 12 School Street, this intimate 120-seat venue creates the perfect atmosphere for interactive comedy. Moreover, the evening kicks off with an audience joke contest where attendees can win prizes. Subsequently, the main event features the acclaimed Accidentally on Purpose (AOP) improv troupe.
The show format mirrors the popular TV series “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Therefore, expect spontaneous comedy based entirely on audience suggestions. Each performance becomes completely unique. Additionally, volunteer opportunities allow brave audience members to join the comedians on stage. However, participation remains entirely optional for those who prefer to watch.
Meet Accidentally on Purpose: New England’s Comedy Sensation
For nearly 15 years, AOP has dominated the New England comedy scene. Initially, the troupe’s founders performed professionally in Boston. They participated in scripted improv shows like “Awesome 80’s Prom” and “Claddagh Bing Irish Italian Wedding Show.” Subsequently, these experiences shaped AOP’s distinctive comedy style.
What makes this troupe special? Remarkably, the cast includes professionals from diverse backgrounds. During the day, they work as doctors, authors, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople, and corporate executives. Consequently, these varied experiences add unique flavors to their comedy. Furthermore, this eclectic mix has been creating laughter together for over a decade. Their day jobs provide endless material for improvised scenes.
Why This Marblehead Comedy Show Sells Out
Last year’s Keg-n-Komedy event sold out completely. Therefore, early ticket purchase is strongly recommended. Tickets cost $25 in advance and $30 at the door if available. Additionally, you can secure your seats at mltlive.org.
The combination of quality comedy and craft beer creates a winning formula. Furthermore, Bentwater Brewery‘s sponsorship adds local flavor to the event. Founded in 2015, Bent Water became Lynn’s first brewery and taproom. They’re known for exceptional craft beers using Lynn’s superior water source. Moreover, their involvement ensures attendees enjoy premium local brews throughout the evening.
Historic Venue Adds to the Experience
Marblehead Little Theatre brings significant history to this event. Founded in 1956, MLT stands as one of New England’s oldest continuously operating community theatres. Originally, the group performed at local schools. However, in 1999, they received the School Street Firehouse from Marblehead’s Board of Selectmen.
This renovated firehouse now provides an intimate setting for performances. Additionally, the venue’s rich theatrical history enhances every show. Over the decades, MLT has presented everything from Broadway musicals to experimental works. Furthermore, their commitment to quality entertainment continues with events like Keg-n-Komedy.
Partnership Creates Comedy Magic
The collaboration between three local organizations makes this Marblehead comedy show possible. First, Bentwater Brewery provides craft beer and financial sponsorship. Second, Silly Theatre Productions brings production expertise from Salem. Finally, Marblehead Little Theatre offers their beloved venue and local connections.
This partnership represents the best of North Shore collaboration. Moreover, each organization contributes unique strengths to create an exceptional event. Silly Theatre Productions has extensive experience producing comedy shows throughout the region. Meanwhile, Bentwater Brewery’s involvement adds a social element that distinguishes this from typical theatre performances.
