The Riff magazine
Overview
Comedy is a uniting force. The Riff aims to bring the Seattle community together through in-person events and have some laughs. At Riff Roulette, the audience members will be equipped with whiteboards shaped like speech bubbles and dry-erase board markers and can write suggestions for the comedians to riff about or tell stories related to the subject. It is an interactive show, and each one will be unique due to the nature of the program. The event pictured is being held at the bar Rhein Haus.
We will give out free copies of The Riff at these events. As The Riff is a new publication, this will spread awareness about the magazine and hopefully increase subscriptions.

Riff Roulette is an Environmental Graphics project with our first event held at Rhein Haus in Capitol Hill. These shows are interactive because the comedians will be asking for suggestions from the crowd on what to talk about. The intention is to bolster the community, spark delight in the attendees, and keep the audience attending future Riff Roulette events at various locations throughout Seattle.
