Nonsense and Sensibilitiy | A Jane Austen Comedy Show

March 1 2026

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $11.00
A Comedy Tribute to Jane Austen!

This spring, manners, matchmaking, and social catastrophe get a comedy makeover. Join us for one delightful evening as we step into the world of Jane Austen: a place of propriety, longing glances, and reputations hanging by a thread… only this time, it’s funny on purpose.

Parodies, homages, and entirely new absurdities unfold in a mixed bill of sketches, improv, and games inspired by Austen’s most beloved themes. Expect drawing rooms under pressure, feelings expressed far too late, and at least one story created live onstage that Austen herself would have strong notes about.

Dress code? Entirely optional. But if you’ve ever wanted an excuse to don your Regency best – empire waists, cravats, gloves, or a deeply judgmental bonnet – this is your moment. Come dressed to impress, or simply come as you are.

Spend your evening with us welcoming spring, satire, and the delightful agony of polite society. One performance only. Most ardently.

Written By Strangers featuring Sketch & Release (Sketch Comedy)

March 8 2026

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: $11.00

Written by Strangers featuring Sketch and Release is a sketch comedy show built on one simple rule: the performers did not write the sketches they’re about to perform.

Each show features two brand-new sketch teams. One team writes an original set of sketches, then hands them off to the other team — who must bring them to life onstage with no creative ownership, no rewrites, and no safety net. And then the roles reverse.

Guided by Push Comedy Theater veterans serving as directors and mentors, Written by Strangers is part showcase, part experiment, and part creative trust fall. The result is a fast, funny, SNL-style sketch show full of fresh voices, bold choices, and surprising interpretations you won’t see anywhere else.

Come watch what happens when new writers let go… and new performers take the leap.

Barry Manilow

August 8 2026

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Chartway Arena 4320 Hampton Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23508, Price:

Note: this concert has been reschedule from March 2, 2026. 

Music icon Barry Manilow has announced six new arena shows in March 2026. The GRAMMY®, TONY®, and EMMY® Award winner is set to bring his high-energy, hit-packed concert to Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va on Monday, March 2. This announcement kicks off what promises to be an exciting year ahead for Manilow, with new music on the horizon in 2026.

At every show, Manilow will celebrate local music educators with the Manilow Music Teacher Award. Created through the Manilow Music Project, a program of the Manilow Fund, the Manilow Music Teacher Award honors educators whose passion and dedication help bring music to life for their students. Nominees will be revealed on January 22nd, the same day voting opens. The teacher receiving the most online votes will be recognized live onstage during Manilow’s concert and will receive a total prize of $10,000 — a $5,000 cash award and $5,000 in “Manilow Bucks” for classroom instrument purchases.

In addition to celebrating each Manilow Music Teacher Award winner during the upcoming shows, audiences can expect an unforgettable evening as Manilow performs his greatest hits, including “Mandy,” “I Write the Songs,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and “Copacabana (At the Copa).” With his signature showmanship and timeless catalog, each performance will be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration with one of music’s most legendary performers.

Manilow recently released a music video for his new single “Once Before I Go.” In the video, Manilow portrays a character who sacrifices a traditional family life to pursue his dream as a performer. Filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, home to Manilow’s record-setting and critically-acclaimed residency, the video is directed by Jamie Thraves.

“Once Before I Go” was produced by Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Demonte Posey, and written by Peter Allen and Dean Pitchford. Watch the music video, out now, HERE.
