Guy’s dead, to start with. All things considered this isn’t the worst news, since finding yourself already dead is significantly less worrying than finding yourself dying. The bigger problem is, he’s pretty sure he’s in the wrong afterlife. Join Guy on his mission to find someone to politely sort this out with in “EVERY FRUIT FLY GOES TO HEAVEN WHEN IT DIES,” a short and low-key comedy piece about death, bugs, and customer service.

Growing up with a bipolar father and a schizophrenic brother left Aaron Foster with a combination of survivor’s guilt, depression and anxiety that has invalidated his every accomplishment, destroyed his every relationship and invaded his every waking thought. A comedy!
Foster’s style lies somewhere between Mike Birbiglia and Marc Maron. His uniquely dark perspective is how he hilariously deals with the madness of, well, life.
“Mostly Jokes” is autobiographical standup and storytelling that one reviewer called: “Dark comedy with a huge heart.” Another said: “Subversively funny, laugh out loud, gallows humor.”

There are 5,218 people in Aberdeen, Mississippi. This is the tale of 17 of them. And the men who caused all the trouble. Hapless librarian Viola Haygood falls in love (for the umpteenth time) to a dark and handsome stranger. His arrival causes a stir. Someone’s kidnapping Aberdeen’s young women. They’re at Big Otis’ Saloon one night and gone the next. Not so much as a by-your-leave. The town is getting nervous. Reporters descending like locusts. Lawyers locking and loading. No one is as they seem. Except Viola. And she has no idea what’s going on.

Tragedy Adjacent is a serio-comedic solo show that explores the ideas that everyone has experienced some form of tragedy though we do not always allow ourselves to accept it. The performer decides to create an acronym to help others find a way to “self-help” those who did not have a support structure for their own trauma. He does this by using his story of being sexually abused as a child in hopes of finding comfort in the uncomfortable.

In You and Infinity, University of Arizona professor Dr. Kevin Hainline explores how humanity has grappled with the complex, weird concept of “endlessness” throughout history. Guided by the light of an overhead projector, Dr. Hainline will discuss how Greek philosophers were terrified of infinity, how thinking about infinity as an actual number set mathematicians at odds for centuries, and where we tiny humans fit in. A humorous blend of history, philosophy, and science, this engaging performance tackles the abstract and the universal, and offers a hopeful look at our place in the grand, unending story of the cosmos.
