This isn’t Anna writing some stuff that she thinks you’re going to find funny – this is real life and hilarious.” – Adrian Bowen “This was such a fun show and I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing! It was so dark, a little twisted, and so wrong in all the right places! Viciously relatable and finally saying all the 18+ thoughts out loud that you’re ashamed of finding funny! 10/10, no notes, go watch!” – Sarah “Anna is the full package. Hilarious, smart, beautiful and edgy. This show is fantastic. 10/10. Enjoyed it so much that I also went to see Anna’s Oversharing show. It’s just as good! Do yourself a favour and check it out!” – Nev “BRILLIANT! 10/10. Educational, hilarious, witty. Excellent comedic timing. Anna’s show is by far the funniest I have seen at Fringe. When she does crowd work it’s awesome, would love to see more of that in her show! Inspired me to pursue comedy myself.️️️️️” – Oli May **Check out what Anna’s been up to on instagram** https://www.instagram.com/afberos/ **or YouTube** https://youtube.com/@afberos?si=VUZ-vkIxlyb-tW7s **On the night!** Doors from 7:30pm – Arrive early to secure your seat, get a drink, and write down your anonymous stories – pen & paper provided when you check-in **Show starts 8pm – no break** Show ends 9pm — stick around after the show for Back Door Comedy 9:30-10:30pm with 5 comedians + Anna working on very new material **Prepurchase your tickets so you don’t miss out!** **Via** https://www.annaberos.com/event-details-registration/anna-beros-well-spread-dark-standup-comedy-secret-submissions-in-english-2026-03-03-19-30 **or via** https://annaberoswellspreadberlin.eventbrite.de **Remaining seats may be available for sale 12€ cash or card on the night.. but better and cheaper to get them now!**

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
