Weeding Out The Stoned is “The Game Show of Sobriety Tests”. A fan-favorite, where a pack of comedians enter, all of them are stoned…but one! It’s up to the audience to eliminate the comics who are high, and uncover the sober “narc” so everyone can win dope prizes. “Detective” Alex Grubard seeks audience testimony, plays mind games and administers sobriety tests to the nation’s premier drug-induced comics. Help uncover the “narc” by weeding out the stoned!

Host Alex Grubard describes what audiences can expect: “The goal is to set people up to have fun and be funny. The games are generally silly with open-ended interpretations. Because most of the players are stoned, they have giggle fits and act goofy. Simple directions can be difficult. Answers aren’t supposed to be in the form of a question, but they often are.”

Different regional and national comedian guests (stoned and not) join Alex on stage at each show, making for wild antics, laughs, and a fresh challenge for Alex and the audience both!
