Hustle Up 2 with John Ramsey!

The Hustle Up returns! The cast of The Hustle Show gets behind the mic for some stand-up comedy 10PM tonight at ColdTowne Theater. Some Hustle Show cast members have hundreds of sets under their belts, others are just starting out, and some have NEVER done it. Sounds like it could be a train wreck, huh? Let me tell you, the last Hustle Up might have been my favorite show that I’ve ever been a part of.

This time we’re raising the stakes with a headlining set from the amazing John Ramsey (Conan, Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, FPiA Winner) and special guest spots from Master Pancake Theater’s John Erler and ColdTowne’s Michael Jastroch
Featuring David McQuary, David Jara, Curtis Luciani, Courtney Sevener, Scott Raney, Tre Fuentes and maybe a surprise.

Tickets.
