Comics Stripped is a hybrid between NPR’s This American Life and Woody Allen’s Broadway Danny Rose - everybody telling great stories about a similar topic, sort of This American Comedians Life. Host Dave Pokorny picks a theme for each Stripped, and guest artists riff on that theme. Though promising a load of belly laughs, don’t expect your typical evening of standup. Comics Stripped is unique: you won’t get this intimate with these same performers at any other venue. Picture a guest on a TV talk show telling a great story, or a party with one of the guests taking center stage.
Dave says: The reason I came up with the title Comics Stripped is that the comics are up there “stripped” talking to these 100 people like they were friends. I like to capture the feeling of interesting stories that just “happen” to have punch lines to them.
