Hello! This is the beta test sign-up page for Constellation Comedy's Shows-in-Progress.
A "beta" test of a show is generally a private-invite program where we will run the show in a smaller space for free or extremely discounted tickets. We will be sending out surveys post-show asking for feedback, and are looking for audience members who will be engaged and excited by whatever show that they are signing up to beta test.
Nerd Show:
Inspired by Dropout TV, Critical Role, Jeopardy! and other successful nerd-esque franchises, Nerd Show is a live program that has comedians performing sets about whatever their most passionate about— while earning meaningless points for challenges given to them by the host, and occasionally, the audience.
Set Swap!:
The “tight five”— a five minute set that best encapsulates a comedians’ style and work— is generally the first thing a comedian will master and is frequently what they will submit for participation in festivals, etc. Pairs of comedians perform each other’s “tight fives” in front of a panel of judges and a live audience. The most entertaining swap wins a cash prize— and the honor of judging the next round of Set Swap!
A\V Comedy Club: Even More Live!
The show version of our A\V Comedy Club mic: a panel of three postdoc/grad students from local universities will cross-examine comedians on their presentations for an honorary and entirely bullshit degree from A\V University.
