Intrusive Thoughts & Prayers is a one-night-only sketch show that celebrates and spotlights those pesky little thoughts we want to say but probably shouldn't (but still do anyway). Join us for sketches and songs that satirize our need to rationalize the irrational on April 7th at 6:30pm!

Mira Smith
WOAH, is that Mira? Back on the Annoyance stage? She literally loves comedy so much, she glows little. No, it isn't the stage lights, and no, it isn't her super cool dyed hair. She actually glows like a cute lil ghostie because she's so happy to be here. She's done So Much improv - no joke, an actual decade. Woof. She also graduated the Second Conservatory and STILL does improv, and just a few weeks ago she was in a sketch comedy show at Bughouse called Just Checking In. She's bonkers excited to be doing this show and can't wait to make you laugh, so definitely laugh or I swear to gosh she'll notice, silently resent you for a DECADE, until one day you see her at the farmers market. She's older, but you recognize her super cool hair. She vanishes and you can't stop thinking about it. You can't sleep. Your friends are worried. They stage an intervention. SHE'S THERE. You go crazy and disappear, but sometimes people swear they can hear your laughter sometimes, if the moon is full and Mira is onstage. Enjoy the show!
