Welcome to Grime Time Live, Tacoma! A show that could not be more fitting for our cherished city that prides itself on its stench!

This month, we host an absolute gauntlet of hilarious comedians who will serenade you with unsanitary stories of stank. Did we mention there’s a game show portion at the end?

Many people and cultures have vouched for the mandala’s intrinsic meaning. Buddhists, Tibetans, and Hindus have all derived meaning from the mandala and its captivating beauty. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung has called it “a representation of the unconscious self.” The mandala is widely recognized as a meaningful reflection of its creator.
