Following a successful world premiere at the 2025 Elysian Spaghetti Festival, UNITED STATES OF ZAF is back! This is the saga of how my zany Syrian-American father, Zaf Basha, ran for public office in my hometown and dragged my entire family into the madness. He ran for the lowest possible government position imaginable, an "advisory neighborhood council seat", took it WAY too seriously, then lost by 6 votes! Me, my sister, and mother were all reluctantly assigned official roles on his "political campaign." This show takes the audience through the chronological journey of my batshit Arab dad's political journey by showcasing family videos, group chat messages, and real-life images from that time. His story will be interspersed with some of my own hot takes about politics, identity, and what it means to be an immigrant in America.

Directed by Maurin Mwombela 

Haiders Mutual Aid Comedy Show is the show where Lauren Gural gets to be a bitch, and there's nothing you can do about it. Why?

And we will also be hosting a school supply drive the night of the show! You've been warned: we are an equal opportunity hater!

Part game show gauntlet, part nostalgic fever dream. Adam Smith's RERUN transforms classic TV into competitive nonsense, pitting three performers against each other in a series of challenges and dares inspired by iconic television. The winner, as determined by someone in the audience, wins a mediocre trophy.

Who are you when everything you were suddenly gets taken away? Sophie was once a Los Angeles it-girl, living a life of enviable, aspirational chaos. Now on the eve of her 30th birthday, she's stuck in a treatment facility with only one VIP on the birthday party guest list: her 18-year-old schizophrenic roommate Molly. ROOMIES is a darkly funny solo show based on a true story about friendship, identity and the fragile line between control and collapse, where glamour, madness and survival all crash the same table.

Written and performed by Julia Stephens (Really It's Rita, Ctrl+Alt+Underground).

Le Vicomte is a horny nobleman determined to have every whore in Paris before his wedding tomorrow morning. But the Greatest Whore in Paris refuses to take his money!

One part clown, one part burlesque, one part tragedy and three parts true love. Audience participation available for the bold.

A middle-aged, clinically obese homosexual confronts science and God to determine if there's any actual purpose to his existence.

Winner of Best Solo Theatre and the Sydney Fringe Exchange at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe, with an additional three nominations including Top of Fringe, and a BroadwayWorld LA nomination for Best Solo Production. QFWFQ is inspired by If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler and other works by the Italian post-modern author Italo Calvino. Touching on improvised music, Zionism, the genocide in Gaza, architectural marvels and trans identity, QFWFQ is a show that neither begins, nor ends. You’re confused. So are we. Catch it before it heads to Edinburgh and Australia.

Victoria is an immersive séance-comedy set in a rickety circus tent, where a modern-day medium dares to call back the spirit of Victoria Woodhull: clairvoyant, suffragist, stockbroker, and the first woman to run for U.S. president. Victoria bursts back onto the scene not only to haunt us, but to check on the seeds she sowed: have her ideas taken root, have her laws been passed, has the world finally caught up to her vision? With a wink, a cackle, and plenty of theatrical smoke, the piece blends satire, ritual, and biography in a playful collision of past and present. Part séance, part sideshow, and entirely queer & uncontainable.

This show is restricted to ages 18+

Content Warning: possible strobe lights
