Improvised Jane Austen tells a tale, on the spot, in the style of the most beloved 19th century authoress… with hot dogs at Devil Fest. Do join us for a devilishly good time!
On January 17th, the gates of hell burst open for Devil Fest, a one-night-only demonic bacchanalia of comedy at iO Theater hosted by Devil’s Daughter. This is not your typical comedy festival--this is a descent into pure madness.
Imagine all of your favorite comedy teams--those stalwarts of the Harold, musical improv, and short form games--completely unleashed from their usual forms. What chaotic theatrical experiments will they perform? What mind bending evil performances might they conjure? At Devil Fest, expect the unexpected and prepare to have your sense of reality forever warped.
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” - Mary Kate Olsen.
