Umpire Unmasked.
A fast-paced comedy showcase hosted by Vinny “The Dancing Ump” Chapman — stand-up headliners, crowd work, dance-offs and baseball chaos. Come take your seat: you’re about to witness comedy with full authority.
Part comedy club. Part seventh-inning stretch.
“I got a few jokes, but what I mostly bring is my energy.” Vinny hosts and works the crowd while touring stand-up headliners swing for big laughs. Expect audience members on stage, dance-offs and at least one stolen snack.
- Host + stand-up headliners
- Baseball-flavored for die-hards and casual fans
- Crowd work and dance-offs
- Perfect for fundraisers and private events
