Charlotte Squawks 18 Tickets

Charlotte Squawks 18 is a celebrated citywide satire spectacle born from a fundraiser for a local PBS station and grown into a fan-favorite theatrical event. Co-created by Mike Collins (WFAE’s Charlotte Talks host) and Brian Kahn, with Collins starring in the production, the show blends sharp social commentary with musical parody in a style likened to "SNL meets Broadway."

Performances take place at Booth Playhouse, a centerpiece venue within the Blumenthal Arts Center in Charlotte. Booth Playhouse seats about 434, providing an intimate setting for its high-energy, character-driven sketches and spoof songs about Charlotte and current events. The show’s unique voice has made it a staple of the city’s arts scene, drawing audiences from across the region.
