Unscrewed Theater announced their big move

Posted on March 6, 2018 by | 7 comments

On Saturday night 3/3/18, the funny improv comedy folks at Unscrewed Theater (aka Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed) announced their upcoming theater move down the street on Speedway Blvd.  It was a well kept secret for months, but they finally signed the lease to the new venue at:

Their previous location, 3244 E. Speedway Blvd. (across from the Loft Cinema)  is being demolished.  They were at that locale for over 4 years, and will remain there performing at least till March 31.

Watch for their grand opening celebration later this Spring, which will be loads of fun. The new location is between Columbus Blvd. and  Swan Rd. , still in midtown.

National Comedy Theatre from Phoenix at Unscrewed Theater

We need some laughs after that General Election 2016. I talked to a woman yesterday who happily claimed to be a “Trumpette”, touting the joys of a Donald Trump win. Keep in mind the VP-elect Mike Pence is the Governor of Indiana and a long time former Congressman.

So join the NBOJU comedy team in joining up with this Phoenix troupe, for hilarious,  improv comedy for one night only.  Maybe these Phoenicians know something we don’t for this “blender show supreme”?

Two shows tomorrow, 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

Info at www.unscrewedtheater.org.  You can also purchase $5 tickets online: https://www.unscrewedtheater.org/event/improv-show-family-friendly-8-2015-11-07-2-2016-05-07-2016-08-20-2016-11-12/

“Ready, Set, Laugh”!
