Paradox is the home of fringe theater at GBS. We focus on sketch comedy (like "Key & Peele" or SNL or Monty Python), but we welcome all kinds of performance, including juggling, magic, music, & more. Especially if it's too edgy for V-Show! We meet every week for most of the school year to write material and make each other laugh, and we put on a live show for the public in March. If people tell you you're funny and don't mean it as a compliment, you should join us!
