MASSIVE FRAUD + LAFAYETTE COMEDY PRESENT THE RIP-OFF SHOW
Thursday, Dec. 3
Artmosphere Bistro
Doors: 9:30 p.m.
The Rip-off Show is a monthly comedy show in New Orleans that grabs three comics and pits them against each other in a battle of wits in order to win a bad DVD. It's a live pop culture game show that pulls from a variety of different game styles, from riffing on internet culture and current events, to Price is Right style bidding on weird Etsy items, to writing a Tinder message to a weirdo, to guessing whether a picture is of a Juggalo or a cat. Each comic performs a stand-up set as a brief intermission in the middle.
