On Saturday, January 25th at 8pm, MonsterBox Comedy and The Siren Theater are proud to present,
Funny Guys from the Internet!
Ify Nwadiwe, Armando Torres, and Raphael Chestang are three funny guys from the internet, but now they're ready to touch grass and be funny irl.
Join some of your favorite (or possibly okay-est) personalities from Funhaus, Dropout, CollegeHumor, and Rooster Teeth. Laugh at their jokes as you think to yourself, "Wow, these guys look way different when they're not on camera."
About the performers:
Ify Nwadiwe is a stand up comic, sketch comedian, game show host, and certified thot dad. As a master improviser and hilarious stand up, he'll either have you laughing your ass off or admiring how massive his thighs are. I mean, those things can (and have) crushed a watermelon.
Armando Torres was part of the now defunct Funhaus and Rooster Teeth (jeez, get laid off much?) Luckily, you can't get fired from doing stand up. Through the last 11 years, he's toured through America and Europe telling jokes and hitting his head on low-hanging light fixtures.
Raphael Chestang is a former CollegeHumor cast member, accomplished writer, and an incredible actor. He was even in an episode of Young Sheldon. Seriously, Google it. Mixing witty writing with a fun delivery, you'll be cracking up while trying not to be blinded by the light reflecting off his dome.
Don’t miss the IRL LOLs with Ify, Armando, Raphael and special guests!

On Sarah Adelman's first day working at the sperm bank, she stares through her microscope into a petri dish full of semen and is shocked by how much the little wiggly sperms remind her of herself—intense, frantic, and desperate to be seen.
It’s a common misconception that the strongest sperm wins the race to the egg. As a fertility scientist, Sarah knows better: It’s the egg that chooses the sperm. This fact forces her to examine whether her choices have led her to the life that she actually wants. If she behaved more like the egg, confident and patient, rather than like the sperm, endlessly searching for approval, could she find a happier life?
This is Sarah's coming-of-age journey through bat mitzvah humiliation, data-driven dating, the sperm bank porn library, and a surprise meeting with her lab's HR department that would force her to reckon with whether she's ready to truly become the EGG.
Sarah Adelman is a New York City-born comedian and former reproductive health research scientist. She performs at venues across New York and has appeared on The Today Show and HBO's Game Theory. Sarah was a 2023-2024 resident at Ars Nova's Comedy Artist Makers’ Program, where she developed and premiered EGG. Her short film "BUSTED!" will be released in 2025. EGG is written and performed by Sarah Adelman and Directed by Iris Bahr. You can learn more about Sarah at www.sarahadelmancomedy.com and follow her on IG at @sarahadelman1
