NEW SHOW!

Shawn Hitchins reclaims the mic to share the first joke he ever told—a 90s gay joke.

Obsessed with cracking its origins, he traces the lewd punchline through centuries of literature, weaving crass comedy and ancient tragedy through his irreverent and fearless storytelling.

Blending stand-up with drunk book club, Ribald is a vulgar English lesson, a chronic overshare, and an unexpected return to the stage for this moderately celebrated comedian and author.


Everything’s been done,
Nothing is new,
do it again
but better…
That’s comedy!
