Improv March Madness: Dual Duel Competition (Opening Rounds)
Mar 28 @ 7:00 pm
Alchemy Comedy Theater at Coffee Underground

Every March for over 10 years, Alchemy’s stage becomes a full-on comedy battle as duos of improvisers compete for points and your laughs!

It’s a bit like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. You’ll see familiar games like ABC (if the first line starts with an A, the next line will start with a B, then a C, and so on …), New Choice (the host will ring a bell and the player has to replace their last line with something totally new), and Sounds Like a Rap (exactly what you’d expect).

But, unlike “Whose Line?”, the points matter. It’s a head to head tournament where players are eliminated, dreams are made, as teams move towards the final round.

At the end of the month, only one team will go home as Alchemy’s March Madness Champions to win $222.22!

Rodney Carrington
Mar 29 @ 9:00 pm
Harrah's Cherokee Center- Asheville

Rodney Carrington on Tour

 

One of America’s most popular comedians and an actor and author to boot, Rodney Carrington shows just what kind of good times can happen when country meets comedy.

 

Since the breakthrough success of his first major-label release Hangin’ with Rodney in 1998, Carrington has been a favorite of audiences all over the world thanks to his enjoyably raucous take on the best things in life, starting with whatever’s in the bottle in front of him. With signature songs like “Just One Beer,” “Wish She Would Have Left Quicker” and “Put Your Clothes Back On,” he proves that some jokes just go better when combined with the twang and swagger of a country tune.

 

In addition to being one of America’s Top 10 highest-grossing comedians, Carrington headlined his own ABC sitcom with Rodney and co-starred with Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses. In 2017, his special Here Comes The Truth brought his blue-collar brand of stand-up and musical comedy to Netflix. His 2020 tour of venues across the U.S. and Canada follows the release of his latest album, Get Em Out, which hit No. 1 on the iTunes comedy chart.

 

Rodney Carrington Background

 

Rodney Carrington has been providing proudly blue-collar audiences something to laugh about ever since his earliest days as a performer at local venues and on radio shows in his native Texas in the ‘90s.

 

After years of touring nationally, Carrington’s breakthrough came with the 1998 release of Hangin’ With Rodney, a CD that introduced listeners to the combination of comedy and country music that fast became his trademark. In 2000, he scored his first Top 20 album on Billboard’s country chart with Morning Wood, an equally raucous collection that included such fan favorites as “A Dozen Roses” and “Older Women.”

 

Along with earning platinum sales as a recording artist, Carrington’s achievements include starring in the ABC sitcom Rodney (2004-2006) and co-writing and co-starring with superstar Toby Keith in the feature film Beer For My Horses (2008). In 2007, he made the jump to the publishing world with his first book, Coming Clean. His Netflix special Here Comes the Truth debuted in 2017. Get Em Out, his eighth comedy album, was released in 2019.

Leaky: Comedy Solo Show about Guts
Apr 12 @ 7:30 pm
Alchemy Comedy Theater at Coffee Underground

Skeptical of the doctor’s insistence that their own anxiety is to blame for their health, Leaky embarks on a journey of self-analysis to uncover the root of their toot problem. But time is of the essence as life events converge to make performing their small stakes solo show one with big rewards — can Leaky can get through an hour on stage without shitting their pants??

You’ve heard about how “all hot people have IBS”? This is the show for them. Imagine every smokin’ person in New York showing up to Caveat because they relate to a dirty little secret they don’t want their date to know about, but by the end of the show, they’ll feel so validated that they’ll be leaving the bathroom door open with pride. (It’s also for normal-looking peeps who just like to laugh at poo puns, but not too many, respectfully.)

This show is best for audiences ages 18+
