The funny people at The Coalition Theater have a couple of events lined up for you this weekend that all center around bikes!

If you’re looking to have some laughs about the UCI Bike Championships, the racers and other bike-related silliness, then check out the comedians behind the theater’s Slow Ride Podcast. It’s an unscripted and hilarious conversation about bikes, bike racing, and cycling culture and tonight, the three bike aficionados lend their comedic insight into the world of cycling; its history as well as some “wild (and certainly mispronounced) predictions for the Richmond World Championships.” they will do the podcast live from the theater! Tickets at the link above. Check out a sample of the show below:

And then this Saturday, the comedy group Middle Management, will bring the bike race indoors for an improvised performance while riding stationary bikes. Yes, really.

Featuring an opening performance from Shamoniki Ellison and Townsend Hart, together known as SHAMTOWN. Tickets here.
