Atlanta Comedy Showcase
The future of the nation’s comedy entertainment arrives here at Dad’s Garage—as an industry; as a destination; as the place to be!
The Atlanta Comedy Showcase extends beyond city borders—it is your finger on the pulse of the southeast’s biggest, brightest, and best-rising talent. Rising comedy stars take the Dad’s Garage stage to wow you with the tightest character-based comedy this side of the Mason-Dixon line. Comedy aficionados and industry professionals, you won’t want to miss this spectacular, showstopping showcase!

Plays By Bots
Don’t fear the machines in this half-human, half-machine amalgamation of improv hootenanny! This hilarious hybrid show created by Rapid Fire Theatre’s Joe Vanderhelm comes to Dad’s Garage for two special performances sure to electrify your circuits and kickstart your guffaws!
The concept is simple: The collaborative, stage-and-screen-minded Dramatron (an AI developed by Kory Mathewson and Piotr Mirowski) generates the first half of a script based on a curated prompt. Our Ensemble actors—who have never seen this script before—must act out the written script live and, after the cold-read, must pick up where the bot left off by improvising the play’s concluding half! It’s unpredictable, unconventional, and unlike anything you’ve seen before.
