This event will showcase top comedians and comedy troupes from Arizona. The goal of the Experiment is to introduce the Phoenix Metro Area to different types of comedy and to educate the community on what phenomenal talent Arizona has to offer.

If you have ever considered going into acting, commercials or comedy—master classes for all types of comedy (including improv, standup, sketch and music) will be held from 3 to 5:30 p.m. (registration is at 2:30 p.m. in the Herberger lobby), along with workshops covering the business aspects of the entertainment industry from industry leaders, agents and casting directors. A donation of $25 gets access to all of the classes/workshops.

The evening will culminate into a virtual smorgasbord of family-oriented comedy with performances from top improv comedy troupes; stand up comedians; sketch comedy groups and more.

Scheduled performers include local favorites such as the Jester’Z, The Originals and The Ha Ha’s improvisational comedy troupes and local headlining stand up comics including Travis Thurman, Jon Jesmer, Glenn Vrooman, Ken Kaz and sketch comedy from Tony Vicich’s Comedy School in Scottsdale.
