Durham meets Richmond in this stellar improv show featuring Mettlesome TourCo and Silver Child.

The Coalition Theater proudly presents the 8th Annual 2ND BEST FEST—a three-day comedy extravaganza showcasing the best in improv, sketch, and stand-up. Running June 5–7, this year’s festival brings high-caliber acts from LA, Chicago, NYC, Baltimore, Raleigh, DC, and RVA to four incredible venues in Richmond’s Downtown Arts District.

Richmond’s Silver Child kicks things off with their signature ensemble chemistry. Then Durham’s Mettlesome TourCo brings the house down with top-tier improv from the minds behind one of North Carolina’s most exciting theaters.

House opens at 5:30PM / Tickets: $15
