Bragging Rights is a sketch comedy show where a group of actors and comedians that have been drafted into 2 separate teams go head to head for laughs as the audience and guest judges vote on which team is the funniest and gets to walk away as sketch comedy champions for the month! It’s part fantasy football, part wrestling and all comedy

The event features: Matt Algozzini, Tommy Biggiani, Dan Conroy, Daniel Michael Gregory, Sierra Joy, Juan Carlos Merino, Sean Newman, Obi O’Brien, Martyna Reczka, Nikki Shah, Taylor Simon, Michael Wien, and Audrey Yeoman.

Tickets range from $15-$20 and are available for purchase online. The Hackensack Performing Arts Center (HACPAC) is located at 102 State Street in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Established in November 2016, Bragging Rights performs on a monthly basis in partnership with the Peoples Improv Theater in New York City. It was designed to give writers and performers an opportunity to present original content on a recurring basis, while adding an element of friendly competition.
