A comedy show built around one simple challenge is coming back to Philadelphia for 4\/20 weekend. The goal is figuring out who on stage is actually sober.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeeding Out the Stoned\u201d will take place Saturday, April 18 at SideQuest Theater in Center City. The live show blends stand-up, improv and game show elements, with eight comedians competing while the audience tries to spot the one person who isn\u2019t high.<\/p>\n
Host Alex Grubard runs the night and puts performers through a mix of quick-thinking challenges, strange prompts and intentionally chaotic games designed to expose who is clear-headed. Some bits test memory and focus. Others lean into improv. A few are just ridiculous on purpose.<\/p>\n
The audience plays along throughout, watching closely before voting on who they think is sober. Prizes are tied to getting it right, which adds a little pressure to what is already a loose, unpredictable format.<\/p>\n
The show started in Philadelphia and has since appeared at comedy festivals in New York and beyond, building a following for its anything-can-happen feel.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. The venue is BYOB, and smoking is not allowed inside.<\/p>\n
