About this event

From the mind of Stone Schneider comes an infomercial like no other. Villains Scared Straight is like DARE, but with actual results. Former comic book villains have been completely reformed through Stone’s clinically proven methods, and now he’s presenting his system live at Commonwealth Comedy Club. Have you been bad? Stone can make you good! Commonwealth Comedy Club is Cincinnati’s home for live entertainment, featuring stand-up comedy, concerts, theater productions and live podcast recordings. Housed in the renovated former Tower Methodist Church, built in 1914, the venue blends historic architecture with modern amenities, including a full bar, concessions and state-of-the-art production systems for live and recorded events.

Who's playing

Stone Schneider is a comedian, and the show comes from his mind. He presents his system as a live infomercial, with reformed comic book villains as the proof of its results. The whole piece is his pitch, delivered straight to the audience.

What to expect

The format is an infomercial played live, so the humor comes from a confident sales pitch and a promise that sounds too good to be true. Commonwealth Comedy Club is a small room with its original stained glass and curved pews still in place. A concession stand serves draft beer, wine and cocktails, which keeps the mood loose.

Why go

The premise takes a familiar TV format and runs it straight, which is the fun of a bit like this in person. Commonwealth is the only comedy club in the Cincinnati area housed in an old church, so the setting is as distinct as the show. The club also hosts stand-up, concerts and live podcast recordings, so it is a venue worth knowing.
