Left on Read Comedy Show hosted by Stacy Cordell

Next Show: Friday, May 22 at The Craft DC

The Show

Sip something smooth, send something bold. This isn’t your average comedy night. A lineup of DMV comedians brings the heat, but your unfiltered text replies set the tone. It’s comedy meets interactive card game meets craft cocktails, all under one roof.

The Host

STACY! Cordell has commanded stages at comedy clubs across the country, like The Improv, Caroline’s, and many more. His innovative digital series Serious Haircuts Only is his latest creative project that has gained the interest of media giant Hot97, racking in over 1M views across social channels.

The Experience

At The Craft DC speakeasy, we don’t do ordinary. Our signature smoke bubble cocktails are as dramatic as your punchlines, because your drink should steal the scene, too. Happy Hour starts one hour before showtime. Arrive early and build up the courage to text recklessly. When the show starts, the real fun begins.

This was one of the most unconventional comedy shows I’ve attended and now I can’t go back to the old way. Left on Read MADE MY NIGHT!

FAQ’s

What if I don't want my text read aloud? Don’t worry! The text that you’ll be reading is directly from the card that you’ll be provided before the start of the show. If you prefer not to read the card out loud, you can pass it to a friend or the comedian to read on your behalf. 

Can I submit texts if I don't have a phone? The texts read throughout the game are all from the card game “Left on Read.” This means you won’t be asked to submit any real texts from your phone, etc., to participate. 

What's the two drink minimum? Can I drink beer/wine/non-alcoholic? There is a two-drink minimum that is enforced during the show. Valid items include cocktails, mocktails, wine, or beer. Water purchases do not count toward the minimum. 

What time should I arrive? We suggest arriving at 7 PM to enjoy an Exclusive Happy Hour for comedy guests in addition to claiming your preferred seats early before showtime.  

Is there parking nearby? Street Parking is available outside of the venue.

What's the refund policy? Refunds available up to 2 days before the event

Can I bring a friend who doesn't want to participate? Of course! If they come ready to laugh ☺

Are there content warnings? Risky texts can be adult/offensive in nature.
