Unfairy Tales : Comedy Retells the Classics

Unfairy Tales : Comedy Retells the Classics

Fairy Tales & Comedy = Happily Ever-After!

This summer, the fairy tales you grew up with return the way they were always meant to be: strange, violent, a little weird… and, for one night only, very funny.

Join us at Push Comedy Theater for Unfairy Tales, a comedy show inspired by both the beloved fairy tales everyone knows and the darker folklore those stories came from. The evening features a mix of scripted sketches, improvised scenes, and comedy games inspired by the worlds of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and other legendary storytellers.

We’ll reimagine familiar tales, dig into some lesser-known nightmares from classic folklore, and create at least one entirely new story live onstage… the kind of strange little tale those original storytellers probably would have happily added to the collection.

Spend your evening with us for a night of fairy tale parody and wicked comedy. One performance only. Happily never after.

Pushing Dragons: An Improvised Dungeons and Dragons Adventure

Enter a Realm of Adventure, Laughter, and Epic Chaos!

Pushing Dragons isn’t your typical game night. It’s a full-blown stage spectacle where improv comedy collides with Dungeons & Dragons. Armed with stripped-down 5th Edition rules, the heroes of Push Comedy Theater dive headfirst into a one-of-a-kind quest, guided by chance, wit, and the mighty roll of a giant 20-sided die.

You’ll see battles, spells, and shenanigans come to life right on stage (and sometimes in the audience). Best of all, you help shape the story, rolling dice that decide the fate of our adventurers… and maybe even joining them in the quest.

Whether you’re a seasoned dungeon crawler or have never touched a character sheet, this show is for you.

And don’t just watch… come in your best cosplay and become part of the fantasy world. Wizards, rogues, barbarians, or bards… all are welcome on this epic, unpredictable journey.

Pushing Dragons is one of the hottest shows at the Push. Tickets are $15 in advance. Re-Roll Tokens are $10.

WHAT ARE PUSHING DRAGON RE-ROLL TOKENS? After an unfortunate TPK, we are introducing Re-Roll Tokens. For $10, you can purchase a re-roll token. This allows you to re-roll a die (for either the monster or player) during the show. Did your favorite character fail a saving throw or fail a crucial skill check? With a Pushing Dragons Re-Roll Token, you can change the course of the adventure.

Pushing Dragons Re-Roll Tokens can be purchased online as an add-on to your ticket purchase, or at the front desk when you check in. During the show, ask the Dungeon Master for a re-roll. The Dice Wenches will collect your token and hand you a die. Let fate do the rest!
