Pride month is in full swing and the performers at RoleCall Theater are celebrating with a full lineup of shows.
Every week, guests can visit the Ponce City Market venue and enjoy a night of laughs from LGBTQ comics.
Tickets range from $15 to $25 for each show. All comedy events have a different theme. The majority of the shows are indoors and guests are asked to wear masks.
Fridays at 10:30 p.m. is Slumber Party, a stand-up comedy show featuring LGBTQ+ female and nonbinary acts. Bring your besties or celebrate a bachelorette party.
Saturdays is Stand Out Stand Up, a show from one of the city’s most popular queer comedians, Matthew English. All LGBTQ members are featured in the 10:30 p.m. set.
Amped Up Comedy is a biweekly 9:30 p.m. Saturday show. Part of the theater’s LOLo series, Julie Marateck & Christin Neal host. It’s run by and for LGBTQ members at the outdoor amphitheater, so bring your chairs, blankets and dogs.
Finally, RoleCall’s LGBTQ+ Sketch Team will feature “Pickle Tickle” performing pride-friendly sketches for the 9 p.m. June 24 show.
Not just limited to comedy shows, RoleCall Theater also hosts films and short format plays. The independent theater also hosts summer camps: Shakespeare in June and musical theater in July. They’re taught by working actors and industry professionals.
