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!

Henry Riggs & Friends at Music Farm
Music farm is thrilled to present Henry Riggs and Friends: A Night of Improv Comedy on Wednesday, October 20th at 8pm. You might know him from Nameless Numberhead. You might know him from Theatre 99. You might not know him at all. Henry Riggs has been bringing the laughs to Charleston for over a decade. He is committed to growing comedy performance and education for aspiring writers, performers, improvisers, and artists all over the Southeast. We also think he is one of the funniest humans we have ever met. This show will be a night of fully improvised comedy, built almost entirely off of audience suggestion with maybe a few surprises sprinkled in. Come on and laugh with us already!
This performance will be fully seated. First come first serve for general admission seats.
Reveries w/ Nameless Numberhead @ The Sparrow
“Who are those guys? Poets or something? I always see them around coffeeshops…no laptops…weird…are they artists? Philosophers?…They seem like they must be around 40…”
“Reveries” is the collected memoirs of two mysterious drifters, presented live as a back-and-forth telling of surreal stories, bizarre one-liners, and off-kilter observations of a strange world. Anthony Oberbeck and Matt Barats as the stoic nomads are accompanied by ambient music and abstract video montages in a show that is part stand-up, part psychedelic coffeeshop Happening.
“…like an Ayahuasca session conducted by Mitch Hedberg.” - Vulture
Champs at Old Trolley
A handful of old school pals getting back into the ring to knock out some good old fashioned improv comedy. Each show is just as deranged as the last. If you like you comedy on the wacky side, then C.H.A.MPS. is the show for you. It’s fast-paced, silly, and at times even too silly.
Upcoming shows:
9/24
10/8
10/22
11/12
Charleston Arts Festival FINALE (F.K.A. Jailbreak)
Reminiscent of past JAIL BREAK events, CAF’s Finale will include comedy performances in a dedicated room curated and hosted by Henry Riggs of Rip City. Though the vibe from local comics this year will feature more experimental shows in addition to stand-up.
Stand-up comedians include Jon Antoine, and Jessica Mickey, plus sketch comedy by Nameless Numberhead, a live taping of the Joseph Coker Podcast, a brand new live radio play from John Brennan, and a closing improv set from all the performers.
To top it all off, the night closes out with Charleston favorite cult classic variety show, Rip City CHS which will feature Camille Lowman, Hunter Gardner, Andy Livengood, Scott Frank, and more.
