Don Arner presents: The Green Room Stand Up Show
2024-10-19 21:00 | Arcade Comedy Theater, 943 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, PA, 15222, United States
The green room is a special place for comedians outside of what the audience sees of them on stage. The green room is filled with crazy convos, joke ideas, roasting, terrible opinions, comedians just being themselves before they perform, also the dreaded lineup of who’s going first and who’s going last. On Oct 19th we’re bringing the green room to the stage! We’re giving the audience a chance to be apart of the green room! This new format gives the audience a chance to know the comedians before they hit the stage and also gives the audience the chance to decide the line up (who goes first and who’s headlining)!

Celebrate nationally acclaimed news anchor, Wolf Blitzer’s birthday by attending a night of stand-up comedy with regionally acclaimed talent. Join Chrissy Costa, Rebecca Canterbury, and Cassi Bruno for some laughs at Arcade!
Chrissy Costa is a comedian, writer, and humor columnist known for her acerbic wit, self-deprecating humor, and giant earrings. Before doing standup, she attended Second City in Chicago, where she wrote alongside SNL’s Vanessa Bayer. She’s been entertaining audiences in Pittsburgh and beyond since 2011. She also produces an all-female comedy show called the Broad Squad, in an attempt to highlight more female voices in comedy. Website: chrissycosta.com
A lifelong resident of Planet Earth, Rebecca Canterbury is a Pittsburgh-based comedian who has performed at venues like Bottlerocket Social Hall, Thunderbird Music Hall, Sunken Bus Studios, and The Improv. When she’s not telling jokes, Rebecca enjoys peanut butter pretzels and repeatedly telling people that she hasn’t read The Canterbury Tales, though she did once date a guy named Chaucer. In retrospect, she would have preferred the book. You can follow Rebecca on Instagram @chewbeccacanterbury
Cassi Bruno is a comedian and writer who has performed all over the east coast. A native Pittsburgher, she’s been featured in The City Paper, The Pittsburgh Current, and Made In PGH. She’s produced a variety of shows from Ohio to NYC and currently produces a monthly comedy showcase at Antonio’s Pizzeria in Brookline.

Five Minutes or Bust

How long can you last? Do you know how to please a crowd, or are you a premature bomber? Five Minutes or Bust is a consensual comedy show where each comedian has a chance to shoot their shot and try to last a full five minutes on stage. Each month, a new Joke Master will listen to audience laughter and decide if it’s enough to keep the comic on stage. If the audience isn’t laughing, the performer will be given an early ejection by the Joke Master. This is a true test for comics to flex their comedic prowess and prove they can perform under pressure.
