COMEDY | New local comedy venture begins
Get ready, Springfield. For three Friday nights this month, the comedians of Capital City Comix will take over the upstairs stage at Arlington’s for what is billed as a fast-paced night of “unhinged sketch comedy, satirical news and music. … Like SNL, but local, louder and weirder,” reads a show promotional poster. The show includes Brian and Melissa Reilly, Carmen Allen, Tina Dye, Renée Hatfield, Douglas McDonald, Spencer McDonald, Scott Nation, Wendy Oakes, Keegan Otwell, William “Bill” Panichi and musical guest Michael Burnett. Technical consultant is Carrie Mikaelson. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased using the Eventbrite app or at the door with cash.
