Thursday, Oct 9, 2025 @ 8:00 PM MDT • Multiple prices
Description
Drop the Root Beer and Run (Seattle, WA)
Drop the Root Beer and Run mixes weird dances about color maroon, houses full of pants, and orange juice anxiety medication into a blender. Then we pour it into a nice tall glass. It has all the vitamins and minerals a growing audience member needs.
Since they formed in the wilds of Olympia, WA in 2011, Drop the Root Beer and Run have been spreading their unique brand of sketch comedy all over North America. They have performed in SketchFest Seattle, ImprOlympia, LA Improv Fest, the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot, and Vancouver Sketchfest. They think you're really cool and want to be friends, but are intimidated by your extensive jazz record collection.
