How Much: $10. Tickets available through the online Box Office.

Have you ever read a poorly written novel and thought to yourself, who publishes this crap? Or come across a hilariously out of date self-help book in a thrift store? Perhaps you flipped through Sarah Palin’s autobiography and guffawed at her life story. Well, that’s what Say Wha?! is all about.

At Say Wha?! engaging and charismatic performers put their comedic spin on some of the most cringe-worthy, embarrassing and painfully earnest writing in print.

Audiences have called the show: “Hilarious,” “Fan-tickle-tastic” and “Kick ass, wicked awesome!”

The event producer, and host, Sara Bynoe was inspired to create this night after she found a bad romance novel in a hostel in Bath, England which provided hours of entertainment for her friends. Since then Sara’s been influenced by the NYC comedic reading series “Celebrity Autobiography” and  “Who Writes This Crap?” in London, England.

We like to call it Verbatim Comedy – because you can’t make this stuff up!
