Nonsense and Sensibilitiy | A Jane Austen Comedy Show

March 1 2026

7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The Push Comedy Theater 763 Granby Street Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: $11.00
A Comedy Tribute to Jane Austen!

This spring, manners, matchmaking, and social catastrophe get a comedy makeover. Join us for one delightful evening as we step into the world of Jane Austen: a place of propriety, longing glances, and reputations hanging by a thread… only this time, it’s funny on purpose.

Parodies, homages, and entirely new absurdities unfold in a mixed bill of sketches, improv, and games inspired by Austen’s most beloved themes. Expect drawing rooms under pressure, feelings expressed far too late, and at least one story created live onstage that Austen herself would have strong notes about.

Dress code? Entirely optional. But if you’ve ever wanted an excuse to don your Regency best – empire waists, cravats, gloves, or a deeply judgmental bonnet – this is your moment. Come dressed to impress, or simply come as you are.

Spend your evening with us welcoming spring, satire, and the delightful agony of polite society. One performance only. Most ardently.
