Doors at 6:45 PM || “Writing”/Pitching at 7:00 PM || FREE Creative Experience
Please bring: Your sense of humor, something to write on, and something to write with!

Participants get a complimentary beverage or a drink coupon for a future Sherbino program, because comedy should be loose, not thirsty!
Looking to stretch your creative muscles? Just want some free funny on a Wednesday night? You’re in luck! The Sherbino is launching a brand-new program: Sherbino Writers Room: Sketch Comedy!

Led by long-time Sherbino Night Live writer and local comedic comrade Lexi Trachy, this drop-in writing group welcomes anyone interested in writing (or just laughing through) sketch comedy. Whether you’re a seasoned joke-slinger or just sketch-curious, no experience is necessary; everyone is welcome!

Meetings will take place in October on the 8th and the 29th at 7 pm.

What to expect from a Writers Room session:

Table reads of group work
Group idea sharing and editing
Brainstorming games and inspiration exercises
Collaborative idea-sharing
Laughs (hopefully)
Let’s get writing. Let’s get weird. Let’s get funny again.

Setting: Seated
Settle in for an intimate Literary Living Room with backcountry writer Rick Kempa—founding editor of Deep Wild: Writing from the Backcountry and author of Truths of the Trail and Too Vast for Sleep. Kempa’s poems and prose carry the quiet thrum of wild places: canyon echoes, boot-beat rhythms, and the small revelations that appear when the trail gets long.

After Rick’s featured reading and Q&A, we’ll open the mic to the community. Bring a poem, a short excerpt, or a trail-earned truth of your own. Open Mic: brief shares welcome; sign-ups begin at the door

Come for the words, stay for the voices—Ridgway’s literary living room is warm and open.
