ASTRONAUT THEATRE hits the PIT stage this Saturday (FEB 16) at 11pm!

Astronaut Theatre once had dreams of being the first sketch comedy group in space. However, thanks to budget cuts and inability to convince Congress of a single benefit of such an achievement, their proposed NASA program “Make Space Funny” never got off the ground.

Unwilling to give up the dream, these brave pioneers decided to just keep performing their sketches in New York City and Chicago until some eccentric billionaire decides to pay their way into orbit.

They’ve already had sold out shows at Chicago, Austin, and New York Sketch Fests. Newt Gingrich Moon Colony Sketch Fest can’t be far behind. 

STARRING: George Apfelbach, KK Apple, Caitlin Fitzgibbons, Tom Ganjamie, Jim Gordon, George Jasinski, Sean Kane, Tien Tran
