WHAM CITY BRINGS BATSHIT COMEDY BACK OUT ON THE ROAD This April, Wham City is taking their cross-over comedy on a two-week tour across the Northeast and Midwest United States. The Wham City Comedy Tour is a two-hour cross-genre variety show, showcasing the very best from Baltimore's award-winning artist collective and fabled party starters. Expect stand-up sets, videos, dramatic monologues, and ensemble sketches in a tightly-run, visionary performance. When Ben O'Brien and Dan Deacon organized the original Wham City Comedy Tour 3 short years ago, the group was already heralded for their music and art, but virtually unknown in comedy. Since that time, the tour has performed on stage with Chicago's Second City, shared festival bills with Donald Glover, Neil Brennan, and Henry Rollins; O'Brien has opened for Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman; and Mason Ross won Best Comedic Performance in the City Paper's Best of Baltimore issue. |
