MORE JOHNNIE!!!!

Thank you to everyone who came out last nite to see "JOSH AND TODD" at The Desultory Theatre Club!

and now...
The Desultory Theatre Club presents...





BRINGING BATSHIT COMEDY 

BACK TO THE EAST COAST!!

Fresh off their Adult Swim debut, celebrated arts collective Wham City is embarking on a month-long multi-media comedy tour of the East Coast and Midwest United States this April!

The Baltimore group’s tightest show yet, the Wham City Comedy Tour is a 90-minute multi-media performance featuring four alt-comedians offering up videos, skits, and monologues. 

Since their initial foray into comedy four years ago, Wham City performers have earned accolades from Spin Magazine, opened up for the likes of "Parks and Recreation’s" Nick Offerman, shared the stage with Chicago’s Second City, created viral youtube videos like “How to Crush a Can of Dr. Pepper with Slats of Wood,” and adapted an original Wham City Comedy Tour sketch into the hilarious Adult Swim infomercial “Live Forever as You Are Now with Alan Resnick.”

And Elmwood Production's own Two Fisting Poet and Madman - JOHNNIE SOJIVE - is appearing too!!!

Tickets $15.00 at the door. BYOB

Here's a few peaks at the last time Johnnie showed up at Desultory!!!
