Starstruck: Close Encounters of the Awkward Kind

Comedy Night

2018 Winner: Starstruck: Close Encounters of the Awkward Kind

They say you should never meet your heroes, but then we wouldn’t have this hilarious monthly show about cringeworthy real-life run-ins with celebrities. Hosts Bethany Van Delft and Nick Chambers share the stage with guest comedians at Somerville’s Rockwell theater to recall traumatic tales of freeze-ups and foot-in-mouth moments with idols, crushes and other famous folk. Then the audience selects one epic fail to be re-enacted by the sketch stars of the Redo Crew—with a happier ending. Comedic catharsis achieved.
