Manuel Ángel Redondo

The Comedy Zone

<p>***This show is entirely in Spanish***</p><p> Crecer era lo máximo… hasta que creces.<br />En <strong>ADULTO RESPONSABLE</strong>, <strong>Manuel Ángel Redondo</strong> presenta un show completamente nuevo de stand up y crowd work sobre el experimento social más extraño de todos: la adultez. Un show sobre intentar convertirse en una persona funcional mientras la vida te lanza encima cuentas, ansiedad, terapia, parejas, padres envejeciendo, dudas existenciales y la sospecha constante de que nadie sabe realmente lo que está haciendo.<br /><br />Con material inédito e interacción con el público en cada función, Manuel Ángel convierte al teatro en una especie de reunión entre amigos donde se discute todo lo que supuestamente deberíamos tener resuelto a esta edad. Desde la paternidad y la familia hasta Dios, los traumas y el miedo a convertirse lentamente en tu propio papá o mamá. Porque ser un adulto responsable quizá no sea tener la vida bajo control… sino aprender a disimular el caos. </p> <hr /> <p><b><u>mini-FAQ</u>:</b></p> <ul><li>VIP Seats are the seats closest to the stage.</li><li>General Admission seats are behind the VIP seats.</li><li>All shows are 18+</li><li>Seats are only guaranteed until showtime.</li><li>Seats are assigned on a first come first serve basis as people arrive.</li><li><b>Groups must arrive together in order to sit together.</b></li><li>For the best chance of being seated together arrive early and arrive all together.</li><li>While we do everything we can to seat groups together, we can not guarantee that groups will be seated together.</li><li>To purchase more than 6 tickets, please contact our Box Office (980-321-4702)</li><li><b>There are no refunds on any ticket purchases.</b></li><li>Full FAQ available <a href="https://www.cltcomedyzone.com/pages/faq" target="_blank">HERE!</a></li></ul> <hr /> <p><b>Doors/Show Times</b></p> <ul><li>6:00 PM Doors/7:00 PM Show</li></ul> <hr />

Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa: The Paradise Gothic Tour

The Comedy Zone

<p> <strong>Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa</strong> returns with <i>Paradise Gothic</i>, a sharp, darkly funny new hour exploring immigration, “radical” buddhism, and the absurdities of attempting to build a life within late-stage capitalism. With his trademark deadpan delivery and postcolonial wit, Vidura takes on corporate tech culture, spiritual burnout, and the strange comedy of trying to stay human in a world running by numbers. Smart, subversive, and quietly explosive; this is Vidura at his most fearless. </p> <hr /> <p> <b><u>mini-FAQ</u>:</b> </p> <ul> <li>All tickets for this show are General Admission.</li> <li>All shows are 18+</li> <li>Seats are only guaranteed until showtime.</li> <li>Seats are assigned on a first come first serve basis as people arrive.</li> <li><strong>Groups must arrive together in order to sit together.</strong></li> <li>For the best chance of being seated together arrive early and arrive all together. </li> <li>While we do everything we can to seat groups together, we can not guarantee that groups will be seated together.</li> <li>To purchase more than 6 tickets, please contact our Box Office (980-321-4702)</li> <li><strong>There are no refunds on any ticket purchases.</strong></li> <li>Full FAQ available <a href="https://www.cltcomedyzone.com/pages/faq" target="_blank">HERE!</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <p> <u><strong>Doors/Show Times</strong></u> </p> <ul> <li>6:00 PM Doors/7:00 PM Show </li> </ul> <hr />

Mariachi El Bronx

Carolina Theatre

After a 10 year hiatus, the beloved Los Angeles trailblazers Mariachi El Bronx are dusting off their charro suits again. The alter ego of punk rock heroes The Bronx, this band?s unexpected headlining career began back in 2008 after the hardcore group sought ways to grow creatively while celebrating the Hispanic music and culture they were surrounded by growing up in Los Angeles. Although seemingly different, the band doesn?t see the genres of punk and mariachi as mutually exclusive - to them, punk and mariachi are spiritually entwined forces rooted in resilient storytelling. ?Punk rock and mariachi music are very similar in soul,? says songwriter and lead vocalist Matt Caughthran. ?It's working class music. It?s real music.? With three acclaimed albums to their name, the eight-piece has shared stages with the Foo Fighters and the Killers, performed everywhere from Letterman to NPR?s Tiny Desk, and lit up festivals from Coachella to Glastonbury.ACCESSIBILITY - Accessible seating is available online through Ticketmaster by filtering on the ADA Icon and selecting Accessible Seats. Note: the Carolina Theatre has the original, historic stairs in the balcony. Please take that into consideration when buying balcony tickets. CASHLESS VENUE - the Carolina Theatre services all credit and debit payments only. No cash accepted at the box office or bar. BAG POLICY - We encourage you to pack light with only the necessities to make the entry process as soon as possible. Bags are allowed and are subject to search upon entry. Exceptions will be made for necessary medical equipment or accommodations.
