Description

Party Trick is a sketch comedy team based out of the Magnet Theater in New York NY. While birthed in 2023 its members have long haunted the stage performing sketch improv musical improv stand-up plain old regular theatre and dance too. 

Off stage their writing has appeared on satire and humor websites like McSweeney’s Hard Drive and The Onion as well as actual news websites with journalistic standards and stuff. In 2024 the team had the honor of being selected for the inaugural DC Sketchfest. This diverse team of writers and performers delights in creating ridiculous yet thought-provoking comedy to find the humor in today’s stories and social norms. Sometimes the team produces a sketch that says something profound about society. Other times Party Trick produces a sketch that says something profound about the author. Either way audiences will leave laughing.
