The Catacombs & Comedians
Come see The Catacombs & Comedians the May 24th at 8pm Free with convention pass in Knoxville TN at Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center
Stand-up comedy crosses swords with Dungeons & Dragons. Catacombs & Comedians is a live, actual-play D&D show featuring stand-up comedians venturing into a realm of drollery and tomfoolery when they roleplay as an amusing party of intrepid adventurers. When the 20-sided dice start rolling on stage, you will be rolling in the aisles as the comedic players make a joke of “The World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game.”
The Catacombs & Comedians live actual-play D&D comedy show has performed in comedy clubs and theaters, gaming conventions, and online streaming. Even if you’ve never played Dungeons & Dragons, you’ll be chuckling and chortling at the outrageous antics, puns, (and most of all) the thinly veiled euphemisms and double entendres being flung from the stage like Eldritch Blasts from a belligerent Warlock. (It’s a lot.) Roll for hilarity!
