👏 Your Comedy Shows This Weekend 9/20 and 9/21 - https://mailchi.mp/comedysportzphilly/your-comedy-shows-this-weekend

3-2-1 is a monthly improv show that highlights smaller improv groups; specifically Trios, Duos, and Solos. The last Sunday of each month, you can experience a new combo of performers, styles, and formats.

This month's acts:
3️⃣ Third Wheel - Two of us are engaged and one of us is Jim. We perform a lighthearted mono-scene, often focusing on social dynamics with an odd man out.
2️⃣ The Morning Jawn - A morning show parody with co-hosts Maxine Harper and Karl Perry. The show consists of three segments, including some audience interaction.
1️⃣ What If - What If is a solo improv show that tells the story of someone trying to overcome self-imposed obstacles in order to do something they've always wanted to try. A very human story that celebrates the flaws and fabulosity that we all have inside of us.

Hosted by Sam Miller.
