Great Performances Are Developed, Refined & Practiced
Instead of going off to “work out a few bugs at open mics, get in with a group of comedians who care about what you care about: creating a great performance. Let’s face it, good feedback rarely comes from an Open Mic performance unless you killed it! So join Greg and the rest of the group every Wednesday night at the Santa Monica Playhouse and make your performance shine!
