Crack Up Comedy Presents Trick or Roast

Crack Up Comedy is taking over Tap That Downtown on Saturday, October 31, for a Halloween night showcase they're calling Trick or Roast. It's a stand-up night that leans into the holiday, and since it falls on Halloween, it's a good spot to land if you're looking for something to do that night.

The show is built around a few different things running at once. There's the sharp stand-up you'd expect from a comedy showcase, but they're mixing in roast-style humor—the kind of playful ribbing that usually happens when the comics start picking on each other or the crowd. On top of that, they're weaving in Halloween-themed comedy to fit the date, and there's a fair amount of crowd interaction, so you might find yourself part of the act if you're sitting close enough. It's a high-energy night that keeps moving between those different modes rather than sticking to one format.

The venue adds its own thing to the mix. Tap That Downtown has 35 self-pour craft beer taps, so you can pour your own drinks throughout the night instead of waiting on a bartender. There's also a full food menu, which makes it easy to eat and drink while the show is going on. If you're planning to make a whole evening of it, you can grab a bite and a few rounds before the comedy kicks off.

Trick or Roast runs on Saturday, October 31, starting at 7:30 PM at Tap That Downtown, 909 N 5th St, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
