Skill Shot Pinball is a hidden gem here in ’Cuse.
When you drive by on East Molloy, you would never expect that this unassuming building is home to a very cool retro pinball arcade. If you’ve never been, we’re giving you another excuse to check it out.
On June 6th, we’re taking over Skill Shot for one night only for a night of pinball, improv comedy, and live music.
We bugged until he agreed to let us disrupt his fine place of business with our chaotic pottymouths, featuring a headlining performance from , an opening team made up of homegrown Syracuse improvisers, and live music!
The best part? This thing is only $20.
Why is that the best part? Because normal open play at Skill Shot is $15. So for $5 extra, you get pinball, a comedy show, live music, and the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting the budding Syracuse comedy scene. Economists are calling it “pretty sick, actually.”
The other best part? Ryan begrudgingly approved us calling the show Balls of Steel.
So when your coworkers ask, “What did you do this weekend?” you get to say:
“I went to Balls of Steel.”
And they’ll probably make a face or something, idk
$20. June 6th. Only 50 tickets.
Get yours before they run out.
