John Bruton & Jimmie Graham host Jokes On You – Cleveland’s first crowd work comedy show which challenges both local and visiting comedians to think on their feet by skipping their jokes and instead make things funny by talking to YOU!
Inspired by crowd work clinicians like Dave Attell, Ian Bagg, and Big Jay Oakerson, Jokes On You makes the audience the center of the show by pushing comics to avoid prepared material or written jokes and instead focus on organic interaction with the audience. Nobody knows where this show will go. That’s up to you. It could get dark. It could get sexy. It will most definitely get weird. Don’t be shy & don’t be scared. We’ll take good care of you…we promise.
