Beta Stage

Experimental, New Comedy
every Saturday at 6pm

Arcade Comedy Theater presents Beta Stage, a weekly platform showcasing new, experimental, and student-generated comedy. Each month, the Beta Stage schedule rotates through long-form improv, music, short-form improv, and scripted material. Shows are always an hour long and just $5.

Every Beta Stage is a chance to catch acts in various stages of development, and even get in on the action yourself. An average show could include an experimental performance by a veteran comedy troupe, the debut of a new student team, the world premiere of a sketch or short film, or a brief exercise or lesson about comedy.

The Arcade is all about experimentation, trying new things, and elevating the art of comedy. Beta Stage is a weekly new platform where you can see the comedy of tomorrow, today.

Beta Stage Schedule:

• Week 1: Long-form Improv


• Week 2: Music


• Week 3: Short-form Improv


• Week 4: Scripted
