The following description comes from the event organizer.

Femmes the Rules is a stand up show that pairs female/non-binary comics with a male comic of their choice, and allows them to interrupt the male comic whenever they'd like, sitting onstage and riffing with them, setting arbitrary rules, and giving strikes (3 strikes and he's gotta get off stage!) Then when his set is over, the female/non-binary comedian does their set completely uninterrupted. In 2021, the show has toured to Chicago and Louisville. Femmes the Rules is hosted by Bailey Norton (Reductress) and Sammy Mowrey (Adult Swim).

Lineup: Simon Gibson, Derek Sheen, Ricci Armani, Pallavi Gunalan, Devi Kirsch, Courtney Byrd

Doors: 600P VIP/Wristband | 630 general admission (if available) | 7P show
