The Absolute Worst is an interactive, open-mic comedy/storytelling show where audience members face off against three curated comedians and storytellers to find out who can lay claim to having lived through the absolutely worst thing based on that evening’s theme, with both absolutely fabulous and absolutely terrible prizes at stake.
And for our August show, we’re going themeless with our first ever Wild Card show — where our curated storytellers and audience members will be allowed to tell us about their worst day ever, period.
And if you have a great story about an absolutely terrible experience you’ve gone through, you might walk away with the evening’s grand prize!
Maybe your worst day ever was the time you and your family waited at the wedding chapel for hours before it finally sank in your fiancé had skipped town. Or maybe it’s about that one time you lit so many candles for a romantic evening that you somehow set off every fire alarm in your apartment building. Or maybe it was when you got so drunk that one New Years Eve you woke up to discover the toilet you’d used in the middle of the night wasn’t a toilet after all. Or maybe it was that time your boss took credit for your work and got a big promotion, or night you were up all night because you misread the Eat Before date on that yogurt, or the night you came home early from college and walked in on your parents having sex on the living room couch. I mean, it’s a Wild Card night, so it could be literally anything!
Don’t want to tell a story? No problem! You can still win a prize by winning our It Could Be Worse Game, or giving the best answer to our Absolute Worst Question Of The Night, or being crowned the Absolute Best Audience Member, or some other prize that we’ll probably just make up as we go.
Also, we may ask everyone to howl at the moon. Or we may not. (We’ll see.)
Hosted by the spectacular duo of Meg Ferrill and Travis Abels!
