A night of comedy with three of the stars of RiffTrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000 — Bill Corbett, Mary Jo Pehl, and Kevin Murphy — along with some extremely funny guests: Brandi Brown, Shanan Custer, Ben Katzner, Mary Mack, Bryan Miller, John Moe, and Eric Webster!
No movies or movie riffing… it’s standup, storytelling, music, and more for a night of laughs!

He’s now a principal performer, writer, and producer for RiffTrax.com. Corbett started in theater as a playwright and actor, and over time has branched out into screenwriting (his screenplay, Starship Dave, was made into a movie starring Eddie Murphy, unfortunately retitled Meet Dave), voice acting (Cartoon Network; Adult Swim); comics (Super-Powered Revenge Christmas); standup comedy; podcasts (Bill Corbett’s Funhouse; Ringheads). His plays have been produced at theaters across the U.S. and internationally. He likes fun.
