Extra Chill Feature - Rip City & Charleston's Comedy Revival

The crew at Extra Chill is doing something really special for Charleston. If you don’t know Extra Chill, you should. They are a local interest blog that absolutely crushes the game on music and entertainment coverage in the Lowcountry. And they produce amazing events as well. Give them a follow, a subscribe, - give them all the love. And check out this feature they did for comedy and the upcoming Carmen Christopher show at Lofi on Sept 12th.

Comedian Carmen Christopher coming to town!

We are very excited to be presenting this hilarious show at Lofi on Sept 12th. Our good buddy Carmen Christopher is a very funny comedian. You’ve probably seen him in most of your favorite shows: The Bear, I Think You Should Leave, Joe Pera, and many more. He’s nuts. He’s off the wall. He’s just the type of comedy we love.

Plus, a little personal backstory - Carmen used to run a show in Chicago called Thunderdome which is the first place Maari & Henry performed as a sketch team together. And now we get to return the favor, kind of.

Rip City On A Boat

This past weekend we did a comedy show on a freaking boat! A dreamy little sunset cruise with a truly unhinged comedy show to boot. It was so damn fun and nice, a ridiculously talented line up of performers and luckily some perfect weather.

It’s such a goddamn joy to laugh and be silly with friends. And to have people show up month after month to enjoy watching it is mind blowing every time. We love doing this show! Check out the amazing pics from our bud Clif Rhodes photography.

And an additional batch of more behind the scenes shots from our pal Jeremy Croft.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of Rip City history. I think we’re definitely gonna try to make it happen again!
