The Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival is postponed!

Bummer, we know. This was a very hard decision for us to make, and we wanted to write a blog post to explain why we decided to do this. Unfortunately, between the rainy weather and coronavirus concerns, ticket sales were not where they needed to be to raise funds for the organization. Dad's Garage is currently making plans for programming and fundraising efforts for March 28, and will be releasing more information next week. 

The current plan is to roll the remaining  fundraising efforts into the Dad's Garage 25th Anniversary Party, which has already been scheduled for August 8, 2021. Elements of the Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival, such as rides, a beer garden, and special improviser-led games will be incorporated into the August 8 event. More details on the Dad's Garage 25th Anniversary Party will be announced in May.


Dad's Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival is one part festival and one part theatrical weirdness that you'll only find at Dad's Garage. In addition to plenty of beer, rides, and delicious food, attendees will get to interact one-on-one with our improvisers in games and carnival booths like "Redneck Wine Tasting," "Wheelchair Obstacle Course," "Bad Caricatures," and "Improvised Erotic Fanfiction."

The fun and magic of improv comedy steps off the stage and into our festival, and guests of the Dad's Garage Big Stupid Parking Lot Carnival will get the chance to experience our brand of comedy in a completely new way.
