Short Summary

The groundhog didn't see his shadow, spring is right around the corner, and the sun's coming out to visit.  So you know we gotta #HitEmAgain.

This April we're bringing back all of dopest Hip Hop Comedy acts, all of the dankest BBQ, and of course "Maestro of the Underground" Dylan Carey & the 32 Person Character Rap Battle.

What We Need & What You Get

Last year we spent over $600 for food, rentals and equipment, and this time we're making it even bigger. 

We've hosted over 100 folks last year, and we're expecting a larger crowd this spring! That's a lot of folks to feed! 

We've been asked why we don't ask the performers to give us $5 or something. The answer is because pay to play is bullshit. We want to make sure that this stays an epic day, and is free.

The Impact

For us, the Smokeout was a way to share a culture that we loved, and we didn't feel like was represented well in the comedy scene. We decided to prove that Hip Hop Comedy wasn't just a gimmick or a fad, but a scene of it's own. We gathered up our favorite acts that did rap and we got us a place to showcase what we did. We got 32 improvisers out of their comfort zone and rap battle each other. 

It's a place where people are emboldened to step out of their comfort zones, and grow.
