Submit to Kismet Thursday Night Vibes:  Independent Comedy Spotlight 
Kismet wants to spotlight your independent comedy act! The show is called Thursday Night Vibes, and it is a space for experimentation, where you can flex your creativity and get reps in front of audiences. Our bread and butter is improv comedy, but we welcome independent comedy of all kinds.
