We're bringing the glitz and glam of a Super Bowl halftime show to Strike Theater, the only way we know how: with dick jokes and probably very middling glitz and glam. Whether you love football or hate it, this show will leave you wanting more (or less) of whatever it is we do. Let's call it comedy!
An illustration of a football stadium, with bright lights and golden stars dazzling from the stands. In bright yellow collegiate font letters it reads "The Vilification Tennis Super Bowl Halftime Show" and beneath that in white collegiate font letters reads "February 15, 6:30pm, Strike Theater"

How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

SUNDAY at 6:30PM at Strike Theater, join us for Vil is Blind: an evening of messy drama, big personalities, and drunken hookups! Just kidding about that last one... unless...

Tickets are $15+fees in advance, $20 at the door. Doors at 6:00, show at 6:30. No late seating!
The Love Island title image, complete with glittery golden heart, is overlaid with cartoon versions of the Vilifiers. They are not organized into rounds or teams, just one big bunch of dateless wonders trying to get famous on television by dating strange. From top left going clockwise: Spencer, Nikki, Pher, Dave, Ad, Laurie, James, Caitlyn. The center text reads "January 18" in the Love Island font. The border stroke has a really nice gradient effect that matches the sand and the ocean of the background image perfectly and the person who made it is really good at alt text, too.

Our next show is this Sunday! Sorry for the short notice, but it's been hard to focus on comedy here in Minneapolis lately. Join us for a celebration of all things reality dating television!
A purple sparkly background with "Vil is Blind" in golden cursive. The rest of the text reads "One judge...eight Vilifiers...zero romance" and "January 18 6:30pm Strike Theater"

On a sparkling background of gold and purple-red, a rainbow "Fuck 2025" accompanied by a rainbow with monster horns and an angry face. The text reads "Get lost! Good riddance! Go to bed, 2025!" and "Fuck 2025, A Vilification Tennis New Year's Eve Party Show, December 31, Mounds Theatre."

Our next show is Sunday November 16 and it is a doozy! We're doing a full-blown musical complete with song parodies, improvisation, choreo, insult comedy, and costumes. You don't want to miss this one!
An image for the show. It reads "Vilification Tennis: the Musical" in a jagged 90s-theater-style font. Other text reads "November 16, 6:30pm" and "Strike Theater Minneapolis." There is a pink cartoon penis wearing a black top hat and holding a golden showman's cane in the center of the image. The background is glittering stage lights and a golden curtain.

Rehearsal back on Renaissance Festival grounds for the first time in seven years! Who's ready for Vilification Tennis? Come see us on September 20 and 21 on the Bear Stage!
A group of Vilifiers (Laurie, Old Eric, Nikki, Nick, Tim, Bob, Stephanie, Spencer, Funny Eric) are all giving the middle finger as they sit and stand on benches in the middle of some green space under a big tree.

The greatest honor of any CONvergence is getting a Salty's parody poster. #CVG2025
Two posters on a hotel wall. The poster on the bottom is a Vilification Tennis Twilight show promo poster. The poster above it is a hand-drawn imitation with parody text. "Vilification Tennis Sucks: A Vampire Show" becomes "Vilification Salt Sucks: A Salt Show" for example.

In less than 3 weeks, we return to the stage at Strike Theater with a classic summer event: a toga party! We're Greeking out and showing those frat boys how it's done when you're a goddamned adult. 🍺
A cartoon fraternity house with the Vil logo and a crest made of crossed penises. The lawn is littered with red cups, dildos, and butt plugs. A beer pong table stands to one side. A person is passed out on a couch on the lawn. The text reads "It's Greek to Me: A Vilification Tennis Toga Party, June 15th, 6:30pm, Strike Theater"
