Red Flag Comedy is a group of Indianapolis-based performers who put on live stand-up shows around the city, featuring independent regional/local talent in fun, welcoming rooms. As a producer and host, it is my responsibility to ensure guests and talent feel comfortable before during and after each show, including seating, sound/lighting, food/beverage options. I've organized events with many different venue owners and traveling acts accordingly. Since our conception, we have produced over 50 unique showcases, including a weekly open mic that ran for 18 straight months.
