About
Comedy Hour at Annoyance Theatre at Annoyance Theatre & Bar.
Go if you want comedy with no safety net: the performers write the week’s characters, scenes, and songs in one week and bring them to the stage without rehearsals. The material changes every Friday and may include audience interaction, so the draw is discovering what this particular cast created that week.
What to expect
Make this your final stop on Friday night, since the show is listed for 11:59 p.m. Start at the second-floor box office in the bar, then settle in for a collage that can move among character pieces, scenes, songs, and audience interaction. It is best for adventurous comedy fans rather than families with young children: the theater sets a minimum age of 14 and advises visitors to expect uncensored material and adult language. Take the train if possible, because the theater says neighborhood parking can be difficult.
