Event Details

Bad Art is an exploration of creativity and failure through the lens of improvised comedy.

Come see local artists share stories of their botched and ill-conceived projects and where it all went wrong! The twist: our house improv comedians are forced to find what is essentially good, fun, or funny about their so-called failure, and convince these artists their ugly baby was really a success.

Dates: Every third Friday of the month! Doors at 7:30 pm, show at 8 pm

Location: All Out Comedy Theater, 2550 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94612
