Rip City at the Movies (August 22nd) - Terrace Theatre
Back for its third year, Charleston’s favorite comedy/variety show Rip City CHS takes over the Terrace Theatre to bring you Rip City at the Movies! A night of short films, sketches, animations, and music videos from (mostly) local filmmakers and artists. And this year we’re partnering with SC Indie Grants, a statewide film grant initiative aimed at fostering growth in the South Carolina Film Industry.
Rip City at the Movies could be described as something like a premiere and a festival but it’s more of a celebration of local creators and enjoying their works on the big screen. Unlike our usual monthly show, there are no live performance elements for this show, it’s all filmed material. Everything seamlessly weaves together through the amazing animations of Opus Thimble.
Submissions are open now through August 1st and anyone can submit.
Visit namelessnumberhead.com/movies for more information.
We are so excited to showcase locally made films featuring local talent. Can’t wait to see you at the movies!

Comedy Marathon featuring Nameless Numberhead, Alchemy Comedy Theater Tourco, and Mystery Meat
Alchemy Comedy Theater Tourco
The team from Alchemy Comedy Theater in Greenville, SC likes to start out slow. Beginning with a story based on suggestions from the audience, the veteran touring ensemble crafts a back-and-forth dialogue between two characters. As that conversation begins to change and develop, the group takes those ideas and then expands upon them until the performance erupts into a fast-paced production.
NAMELESS NUMBERHEAD
Nameless Numberhead is an off the wall comedy show from the charmingly demented minds of married couple Maari Suorsa and Henry Riggs. The duo explores human absurdities in the age of algorithms through over the top characters, dynamic physicality, original music, and a splash of surrealism. They have performed at festivals and colleges all over the country and have been featured on FunnyorDie, TedX, and the SF Sketchfest. Charm City Comedy Project calls Nameless Numberhead "one of the most compelling sketch shows we've ever hosted". And with over 400 years of experience, Nameless Numberhead has mastered the art of hyperbole.
ALCHEMY COMEDY THEATER TOURCO
The team from Alchemy Comedy Theater in Greenville likes to start out slow.

As that conversation begins to change and develop, the group takes those ideas and then expands upon them until the performance erupts into a fastpaced production.
MYSTERY MEAT
The dynamic duo of BLKPAPA (part-time rapper) and White Smoke (the world's greatest Spotify user) are prepared to bring you a healthy helping of hip-hop sketch comedy. It's a mystery what these two are grilling up, but this tasty half rap concert, half sketch comedy show is guaranteed to bring the hype. Come hungry. Leave satisfied.

Nameless Numberhead & Friends
Before the city develops itself into oblivion and art is declared illegal, you should try Nameless Numberhead & Friends! It's a new show deigned as a brain and nerve tonic that you won't find in any normal snake oil. It's a cure all for those down in the dumps, internet wormhole, political overload type days.
That's right folks, 3 different acts and a musical guest take over Theatre 99 late night to bring together comedy, music, and puppetry.
This month features: Tim Hoeckel with Patrick Hart, The Charleston Guild of Gentlemen Puppeteers, and Musical Guest Scott Dence One Man Band.
