The world is crazy, but thankfully so are we! Join KEEPIN' TABS NEWS, a monthly news parody and political satire sketch show, as we break down today's headlines and resist the urge to break down, emotionally. Join us at the Annoyance Theatre on 1/22, 2/19, and 3/19 for your monthly dose of hard-hitting journalism mixed with side-splitting humor. There's too much happening in the world for you to keep track of it all, that's why we're here for you, keepin' an eye on the powers that be, keepin' you laughing through the turmoil, and KEEPIN' TABS! Featuring: Andie Nash, Ashley Bland, Baylor Barnes, Courtney Zelzany, Drake St. Pierre, Jessica Kung, John Doan, Mary Fiala, Mike Mazzella, Salman Lee, Sophia Fattore, Tiffany Chappell, and Xzavier Dean. Directed by: Johanna Medrano
