Upcoming Shows!

Good Camel Comedy Theater brings you gut-busting stand-up, fearless improv, and bold storytelling that centers BIPOC artists, queer voices, and perspectives often shut out of traditional stages.

Expect the unexpected and a place for you in the Good Camel crew.

Improvisers make up scenes on the spot with no script. You create the live music to accompany them in real time. It's spontaneous, collaborative theater where performers and musicians build the story together, and the music shapes what happens next.

This jam brings together musicians and improvisers. Musicians learn to score scenes in real time. Improvisers get to perform live with live music. We talk through what a scene needs musically, then perform it live with everyone playing together. Instrument or no instrument. We need you.

Never tried it before? Perfect. Improviser? Come play. Just curious? You're welcome to bring an instrument. Or don't. Just show up.

Every first Saturday of the month from 5:00 PM Warm up and then 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM – Musical improv jam.

Free. No registration. Open to the public. Just show up. First Saturday monthly, 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM Showtime Studio & Coffee 2700 Lexington Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113.

Sparked by Paulie Hendrickson's vision. Hosted by Karyn Alissa and Paulie Hendrickson.

Good Camel Live is a live comedy show featuring improv, storytelling, and stand-up every first Wednesday of the month.

A core ensemble performs alongside a rotating guest storyteller or comic, who performs two longer sets and closes the night.

The improv is created on the spot and shaped by current events. The stories are personal. The comedy is political and rooted in lived experience.

Some moments are hilarious. Some moments are real. No matter what happens, it is honest and happening live. BIPOC curated but open to all.

No scripts. No safety net. Just bold, fast,
made-up comedy that hits in real time.

The Twin Cities’ fiercest BIPOC improvisers take the stage for a high-energy showdown where pride, skill, and creative nerve are on full display. All night long, performers battle through lightning-fast games, building scenes from nothing and taking big swings in front of a live crowd that can feel the tension rising.

The audience watches it unfold. The energy builds. At the end of the show, the cast votes. Each performer chooses the improviser who impressed them most that night. No mid-show eliminations. No gimmicks. Just one final decision. One crown. Chosen by peers.

A space where BIPOC artists lead, create, and celebrate each other on their own terms. Fast. Funny. Fearless. Come for the battle.

  • The show is always FREE.

    We believe in equity in the arts—no one should be priced out of joy.

    That said, donations are deeply appreciated. If you're the kind of person who likes a nudge, we suggest $15 per person.

    And yes, our performers get paid—from the box office proceeds. The pot gets split, so the more of y’all that show up (and chip in), the better our artists are paid for their labor—uh, we mean, craft. 😉

  • Not your average crusty, musty theater vibes.

    This is a space for the people—eclectic, energetic, and unapologetically us.

    Doors open at7 PM, and you’re welcome to mingle, grab a drink, and vibe with the crowd before the show kicks off at 7:30 PM.

    Running on CPT? We know that’s right! Show up when you can—we’ll never turn you away for being late.

    Need to get up during the show? Do it.

    You don’t need to stay glued to your seat. Stretch, move, take a break—we’re not that kind of theater.

    Come as you are, move how you need, and laugh as loud as you want.

    That’s the vibe.
