“His ability to weave comedy with tragedy, and laugh-out-loud one-liners with heartbreaking vulnerability, is special and feels entirely unique.” – Playbill

Sardines is a new solo comedy show by Chris Grace that tackles the tragic, hilarious, and deeply human questions of our time: Can we enjoy life knowing how it ends? Does making art actually help? And if Rihanna's song is called Don't Stop the Music, why does the music... stop? 

Tickets for just the show: $30
