Comedy Smackdown: Fiery Pits of Hell Song Contest Featuring Samantha Ginn, Bryan Barbarin, Wendy Maples, Marley Bauer, Abigail Grace Allwein & Denise Lopez An interactive night of laughs, chaos, and unexpected musical damnation. Back by popular demand, The Roustabouts’ annual Comedy Smackdown returns this September for two nights only. This time, we’re diving headfirst into the Fiery Pits of Hell. It’s live theatre meets game show meets musical madness. Think "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"... if the host had a pitchfork and the audience got to play judge, jury, and executioner. You choose who moves on and who burns (figuratively, of course). What’s at stake? Just the actors’ dignity, your sanity, and the soul of San Diego's theatre scene. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a first-time sinner, grab your friends and come laugh ‘til it hurts. The Roustabouts Theatre Co. on Facebook / Instagram
