The Nascar Jones Show: Comedy Talk Show

May 3 2025

5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510 support@pushcomedytheater.com Price: $5.00
A wild ride of a LIVE talk show in Hampton Roads!

Filmed LIVE at The Push Comedy Theater, The Nascar Jones Show walks a fine line between unscripted comedy and planned talk show shenanigans. With a one-word suggestion, the audience inspires the host, Nascar Jones, to give an opening monologue and the show follows the fun from there. Though the guests’ names are planned, no one knows anything beyond that. One night you may see the next up-and-coming musical act, another maybe your favorite pirate or even an almost-real athlete

This show is guaranteed to feature live music, Sunday sermons, fake commercials, and everything else you’d expect from a comedy talk show. And did we mention it? Aside from a bit of planning, no one has any clue what is going to happen next! Nascar Jones has made it his mission to bring fun, danger, and excitement back to late-night talk shows. Nascar delivers a deep and all-encompassing interview style that will make you LAUGH and CRY. But most importantly, THINK.

And if that wasn’t enough, Nascar Jones always ends his show with a daring game of “Lemme Talk 2 Ya Momma” or (even better) “Lemme Talk 2 Ya Ex”! It’s a wild Sunday night that will have you until work on Monday.
