This incredible 11-piece band now has over 1.2 million followers across social media\, an astonishing 300 million+ video views\, and over 400 successful US shows under their belt.

Come ready to laugh\, feel something and leave inspired. \nAnd here’s the thing about Drop The Mic Night — you’re not just an audience member. You’re a cheerleader. Literally.

The more people we pack into that room\, the louder the cheers\, and the more powerful the experience becomes for everyone on that stage. \nYour ticket also includes food\, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and the kind of genuine\, warm community-building that keeps people coming back event after event. This isn’t a stuffy fundraiser. It’s a party with a purpose. \nAnd that purpose is real. Every dollar raised goes directly to Next Girl Up\, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization empowering the next generation of girls to lead with confidence\, creativity and courage. By showing up\, you’re doing two things at once: giving an aspiring speaker the moment they’ve been working toward\, and investing in a girl right here in your community who is just getting started.​ \nThat’s a pretty great reason to buy two (or more) tickets and bring someone with you.
