Murder at Comedy Bar: Halloween Edition is part stand-up comedy show, part murder mystery, and this time we’re making it a little darker for Halloween. A lineup of comedians will take the stage and perform their regular stand-up sets, but hidden throughout the night are clues connected to a murder. One of the comedians is the killer, and everyone in the room is a suspect. The victim? A surprise celebrity. As the show goes on, more evidence will be revealed, stories will start connecting, and you’ll have to figure out who did it, why they did it, and which clues actually matter. At the end of the night, the audience makes their accusation before the killer is revealed. It’s a real stand-up comedy show wrapped inside an interactive murder mystery, so you can just come for the comedy, or pay close attention and see if you can solve the case. Everyone’s killing. One of them means it. Costumes are definitely encouraged for the Halloween Edition. $30 online or $35 at the door

Featuring Garrett Rudkins, Tobi Solebo and Peter Josip
