$30 per person. Get Tickets HERE

“Pride With Extreme Prejudice” arrives at City Vino with the wildly unpredictable Confident Rooster Society. A weekend of improv comedy where the drama is theatrical, the humor is wine-soaked, and the social etiquette is somewhere between Regency ballroom and complete chaos. Audience suggestions become outrageous scenes, quick-witted characters, and absurd moments made up entirely on the spot. And floating above it all, a single thought bubble reminds the evening exactly what energy we expect: “Girl, you better WERK like it’s 1882.” No script. No restraint. Just sharp humor, big personalities, wine flights, and enough chaotic elegance to scandalize high society.

Great company. Music that stays with you long after the last note fades.
