The Tight Acquaintances: Chaos Quest
Aug 1—Sept 26 | Saturdays at 8 p.m.
Pre-Dragon Con Show feat. Amelia Tyler: Sept 2 at 8 p.m.
The Tight Acquaintances is a comedy tribute to classic tabletop pen-and-paper RPGs and an uproarious and magical time for hardcore tabletop gamers and the completely uninitiated alike! This season, the Tight Acquaintances are split across two different planes of existence on a season-spanning adventure—which means they’ve got a whole extra dimension to add to their absurd hijinks.
Dedicated adventurers, we’re offering full season packages—that’s a ticket to every Saturday, 8 p.m. show in the 2026 run of The Tight Acquaintances—so you don’t have to miss a single gaff, mishap, or world-shattering plot twist from our lovable, dysfunctional Acquaintances. Even better—package tickets are 20% less than individual show tickets, and they scale to account for however many shows are left in the run.
SCandal! The Bare
Sept 11—Nov 6 | Fridays at 8 P.M.
Comedy-drama The Bear won Emmys and Golden Globes for comedy, but Dad’s Garage dares to delve into the question plaguing the minds of erudite television gourmands everywhere: what if The Bear actually was a comedy? Presenting: SCANDAL! The Bare—a lovingly absurd and spoofish take-off on the critically acclaimed television hit that sounds like it has the same title as our spoof, but doesn’t actually.
It’s back at Dad’s Garage for a second helping! You don’t need to have seen a single prior installment of this improvised serial drama to laugh your butt off as Shermie and the staff of W.T.Fridays struggle to stay afloat in the Atlanta restaurant industry.
