Darwin’s Waiting Room

Surprising Sketch Comedy
Oct 4 – Oct 6, 2025

Directed by Tomer Oz.

DARWIN’S WAITING ROOM is back — and they’re bringing their signature brand of strange, hysterical, and totally surprising sketch comedy to the Players’ Ring for a full weekend takeover.

Originally born on the Seacoast, this ever-evolving troupe of writers and performers kicked off their return with a mini-summer tour across New England. Now, they’re back home and ready to perplex and delight local audiences with a fresh lineup of comic shorts that range from the curiously relatable to the gloriously absurd.

Expect the unexpected: a restaurant with no tables or food, a meeting entirely about meetings, and dramatic tributes to the illustrious Emperor Kestro Delipantsia by the ambassadors of the Silly Provinces. Yes, really.

About Darwin’s Waiting Room: Produced by Eric Doucet and Julia Doucett, DARWIN’S WAITING ROOM features a cast of seasoned comedic performers dedicated to building a creative, laughter-filled community. Whether you’re a longtime Darwinite or a curious newcomer, you’ll be welcomed into a world that’s equal parts quirky, clever, and joyously weird. Step inside DARWIN’S WAITING ROOM—we promise you’ve never seen anything quite like it. Learn more about the group at www.dwrcomedy.com
