What is a WIP?
A WIP is work-in-progress, a show that comedians commonly do to try and figure out the structure and material of their show before they debut the final product (basically, a draft of their eventual show).
What is a WIP Season?
Every Thursday in June, two queer comedians will bring a WIP of their shows to The Queer Emporium! That's eight queer comedians throughout the month, hence the season! You can buy tickets for the individual events or if you buy tickets for all of the WIP shows, you'll receive a discount (also known as our Season Pass). To receive the discount, just add all four WIP Season events to your basket and it will be applied at the check out.
