Most of our shows (barring technical difficulties) get posted to our YouTube channel. However, the Uncensored part of UnProv isn’t always appreciated by YouTube. They like to demonetize channels that swear, but we’re not scared! We don’t have enough subscribers to be monetized in the first place!

“From gut-busting stand-up to fearless improv and boundary-pushing storytelling, Good Camel Comedy Theater curates events that speak truth to power—through laughter. We spotlight BIPOC artists, queer voices, and bold perspectives that don’t always get a mic in traditional spaces.”

On October 29 they’re hosting the Oasis Laugh Battle at Lush. Watch as some of the best BIPOC comedy minds in the Twin Cities “battle through lightning-fast games, building scenes from nothing and taking big swings in front of a live crowd that can feel the tension rising.”

Can’t make it that night? This unique show runs the 3rd Thursday of every month at Lush.

This month, rather than share a video I wanted to point you towards an article I recently read from Reuters about the status the the theater community in Cuba.

Blackouts in Havana have become a normal part of daily life. One of the many challenges this brings is to the theater community. Actors were having trouble with morale, their daily life struggles were taking a real toll, and the theaters couldn’t keep the lights on. Directors began telling casts the were free to leave.

In the true spirit of “the show must go on”, the casts kept showing up.

Art has always been strongest in times of strife. No matter what struggles we’re facing in life we’re able to either find, or create, art that reflects and brings joy to others.
