Second Bitch Sesh and Hollywood Handbook shows added to Onion Comedy & Arts Festival
Tickets for this year’s Onion Comedy & Arts Festival are flying out the door—How Did This Get Made? sold roughly 4,000 tickets in about 48 hours, for example—so some more shows are being added. We’ve got a late Bitch Sesh show with Casey Wilson and Danielle Schneider at the Athenaeum Theatre on June 1 at 10 p.m., and a late “Pro Version” Hollywood Handbook show at Up Comedy Club at 9:30 p.m. on May 31. Tickets are available for both at onioncomedyfest.com.
