Dad’s Garage

Dad’s Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival is one part festival and one part theatrical weirdness that you’ll only find at Dad’s Garage. In addition to plenty of beer, rides, and delicious food, attendees will get to interact one-on-one with our improvisers in games and carnival booths like “Redneck Wine Tasting,” “Wheelchair Obstacle Course,” “Bad Caricatures,” and “Improvised Erotic Fanfiction.”

The fun and magic of improv comedy steps off the stage and into our festival, and guests of the Dad’s Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival will get the chance to experience our brand of comedy in a completely new way.
