The Color Collective is a comedy variety show featuring people of all ethnicities in stand-up, music, sketch comedy, and dance. Every show we strive to make sure that no matter who you are, you see yourself represented on stage. Inspired by In Living Color, SNL, and many other shows we are fans of smart, poignant comedy that will have you rolling in the seats and maybe make a point here and there.
Created by Royce Shockley, this show wants to give people and cultures that are often overlooked a chance to shine.
