Outdoor Comedy Shows & Classes
Comedy shows happening downtown at the Trust Oasis every Sunday and Monday and outdoor, drop-in improv classes every weekend.
Laugh together at home.
We’re presenting more online streaming comedy than ever before. Instead of searching around for how to watch the latest show, you can now just head over to our new /live page. Refresh the page at the time of the show and like magic, the YouTube Live feed will be right there on the page — or if the show’s on Twitch, we’ll tell you how to get there.
Check out our list of upcoming events, and get ready for /live comedy!
Reignite your creativity!

Improv Drop-in Class
Saturdays at 12pm or Sundays at 1pm
A drop-in style, two-hour, outdoor improv class at the Trust Oasis! Open to all experience levels, including beginners, this class gives you a chance to have some fun, socialize safely and work on your improv comedy skills.
Stand-up Drop-in Class

A workshop style class open to beginners, open-mic-goers, and seasoned comics: an opportunity to learn basic joke structure or hone new material with immediate in-person feedback from the instructor and fellow students.
Online workshops
Zoom Gauntlets!
We are continuing to offer dynamic, new online comedy workshops — including “Zoom Gauntlet” workshops on October 3 that include instruction in long or short form improv plus an online performance in the same day!
Online Shows for Families!
