First time to Ted?

Theatre of Ted is a free, uncensored, open-mic-style performance venue for almost any kind of performance imaginable. There is no performance group -- the audience provides the art. Sure, you can just come and watch, but the great thing is that you can perform. Sketch comedy, music, performance art, or weird shit... or come up with your own category!

Simply come a few minutes early and sign up to perform. Bring anything you need (extension cords, etc.) There are only a few rules:
  • Don't damage the facilities or the people.
  • No Fire.
  • Clean up after your piece.
  • Make it short, in case it sucks.
There is no criteria for performing other than signing up and the hosts have no idea what will be performed any night (so if you're offended by a piece, don't complain to them -- create your own piece in response).

Dare to suck -- Enthusiastic Applause!
