The Comedy Sketchbook – A Night of Sketch Comedy

June 6 2026

10:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $11.00
Do you like SNL-style Sketch Comedy? Want Your Comedy scripted and (kind of) rehearsed?
A live sketch comedy show where the pieces connect—even when they shouldn’t. The Comedy Sketchbook brings together a lineup of original sketches written and performed by local comedy teams, writing partners, and solo acts. Some bring full sets. Some bring one wild idea. But every act is part of a larger whole. This isn’t just a collection of sketches—it’s a show that’s built. Our hosts Zach Davis and Sydney Plackett curate each lineup to create rhythm, surprise, and the occasional callback you didn’t see coming. One night only. Never the same twice.
Grab your tickets now because sketch comedy shows have a history of selling out at Push Comedy Theater. That’s right, our other sketch shows (The Dirty Sketch Show and the semi-scripted Pushing Dragons) are always crowd-pleasers and packed to the brim. Get your tickets early, get to Push 30 minutes before showtime, and settle in for a night of laughs to leave you giggling tomorrow morning.

Pushing Dragons: An Improvised Dungeons and Dragons Adventure

June 20 2026

10:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510, Price: $16.00
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!
