Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the backroom of the bowling alley.

From the creators of "A Very Die Hard Christmas" comes the return of "The Rinky Dink Show," the eclectic comedy/variety show that "recalls some of the best moments of Laugh-In and Saturday Night Live, while also planting its flag firmly in the Twin Cities.*”

The world is a series of ever growing dumpster fires. No, seriously. Look around you. There's one there, one over there, two back there, and one in-between that vaping hut and organic pet food kiosk. Ain't nobody got time for that. Let the savviest comedy troupe in town make you forget about all that, at least for 80-90 minutes depending on applause breaks with sketch, song, stand-up, and some serious silly, slightly off-center.

Cast includes: Josh Carson, Anna Larranaga, Beth Ann Powers, Aisha Ragheb, Garrett Vollmer, Duck Washington and Aron Woldeslassie.

Directed by Brad Erickson
