Think “Agony Aunt,” but evil. "Dear Aunt Antagony" is the chaotic comedy show where our “life experts” fix your problems…badly.
About this Event

Do you have a problem in life you can’t solve? Need some inspiration to get out of your rut? We are here to help.

Bring your grievances like “I ghosted someone and now they joined my gym”, “my coworker said my name wrong again after reminding him like 5 times”, or “I went to a Coldplay concert with my CPO ” and our panel of Aunt* Antagony, led by Elisha Tan, is here to give you terrible advice with motivational-speaker-level confidence.


HOW THIS SHOW WORKS

📝 You submit your life problems, however petty, anonymously.

🎭 3 - 4 of best comics in the Bay Area - as seen on Punch Line, Cobb’s Comedy Club, SF Sketchfest, and internationally - pose as unhinged gurus, with the best intentions, will give you the worst possible solutions.

💡 You’ll leave thinking, “Wow, maybe my life isn’t that bad after all”

Grab your tickets now for a night of terrible advice, big laughs, and the reassurance that you’re probably doing fine.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

🎟️ $10 tickets for seats in front of the stage with unobstructed view; $5 tickets for seats at the bar with partial view. Get your tickets online & early! This show will sell out. $20 at the door – first come, first served.

⏰ ~75 minute show but it’ll fly by quickly when you laugh at someone’s misery.

🍹 Like all comedy clubs, there is a two-drink minimum to help support the bar & staff. Non-alcoholic beverages count too. Please note the venue is cashless (Credit / Debit / Mobile payments accepted).

👵 * Actual aunties not included.
