The Unknown Theater offers premiere virtual reality comedy productions through a deep roster of credentialed entertainers and educators in stand-up, sketch, improv and related arts, redefining XR comedy standards while bringing immersive technologies to a comedy industry ripe for disruption.
Free public events run daily in Unknown Theater VR venues across Meta’s Horizon Worlds, Banter, and Flipside Studios, streaming live in 2D on social platforms and Discord, the community home.
An adaptable crew of platform-agnostic entertainers, the Unknown Theater has long-served private and corporate audiences in XR spaces, on Zoom/Teams, and in person, for team bonding entertainment, learning and development and other applications.
“…Ramsey was an expert host, and most of the comics were honestly more entertaining than I expected. It actually felt natural to watch them in VR. It helped that it was a pretty warm room: people were receptive to the comics and laughed a lot. It felt like, well, a comedy show.”
Our weekly shows can be attended live in VR using a Quest 2, 3, or Pro headset.
Watch 2D live streams here, on our Discord, and on our socials, where past recordings remain accessible for sharing and later viewing.
Whether you’re a pro looking for a stage, a curious amateur performer looking for guidance, or simply a fan looking for a great show, we’ve got something for you!
