Laugh Quest: A "Choose-Your-Own" Fantasy Adventure Comedy Show
Hark, ye brave warriors and tabletop RPG nerds alike! DC comedy collective The Midnight Gardeners League is embarking on a journey from the darkest dungeons to the most dangerous dragon lairs to seek out the funniest adventurers they can find, and you're invited along for all the death and glory. Laugh Quest pits hilarious stand-up comedians against one of the greatest roleplaying campaigns ever created. And the audience helps decide what direction this epic tale will take! Hosted by a wizard and featuring appearances from some familiar faces from the world of fantasy, this ale-soaked night of swords, sorcery and side-splitting laughs is sure to satisfy even the most casual of genre fans who saw like half an episode of Game of Thrones once and that's it.
Presented by The Midnight Gardeners League(midnightgardenersleague.com) the world's first ever comedic secret society that's completely open to the public! We craft uniquely-themed, 90 minute shows, combining stand-up, sketch, multimedia, improv & other weird fun to create a comedy experience unlike any other. Anyone who attends a show can be entertained for a night, and a member for life! Some of the previous shows we've done include “Wrong Answers Only” - a comedy trivia show you can only win by being incorrect, “Pitch A Movie” - where stand-ups create movie premises on the fly based on their jokes, “Laugh Quest” - an audience driven choose-your-own-adventure style journey through a gonzo comedic fantasy world, "A Night of Fine Dining" - a smorgasbord of food-themed characters and sketches, and “The Soft Rock Hall of Fame” - an evening honoring one of the most influential smooth rockin’ bands to never exist. We've been performing together since 2017, and have been regularly selling out shows at the DC Improv Comedy Club since 2019. We’ve also taken our act on the road to the Brooklyn Comedy Collective and Cobra Club in Brooklyn, NY, The Glendale Room in Glendale, CA, Pittsburgh’s Unplanned Comedy Warehouse, Cleveland’s Imposters Theater, the Portland Maine Comedy Festival (2018), DC’s Laugh Index Theater Festival (2019), NYC SketchFest (2019), the Seattle Sketch Fest (2020), Roanoke Comedy Festival (2021), Red Eye Comedy Fest in Morgantown, WV (2022) and Akron, Ohio’s Rubber City Comedy Festival (2022).
We were also finalists for Washington City Paper’s Best Comedians of 2022. You can read all about us in this awesome write-up from District Fray Magazine! Follow us @midnightgardeners on IG and @12amgardeners on Twitter.
