The Foundry Event Center

Brian Doby returns to Topeka to film his debut stand-up comedy special, Probably the Reason, live at The Foundry.
After performing on stages across the country — from small rooms to legendary venues like the Comedy Store in Hollywood and the Apollo Theater — Doby is bringing it all back home for one big night.
Joining the night are fellow Topeka comedians Austin Arbogast and JaWon Wheat, with local favorite Ed Davis hosting the evening.
This isn’t just another comedy show — it’s a live taping. Cameras rolling. Crowd mic’d up. The whole thing.
So come laugh, have a good time, bring your friends… and if the camera swings your way, try to look like you’ve slept recently.
🎟️ Tickets available at ProbablyTheReason.com Show starts at 8:45 PM
This event is 21+ due to venue and bar service. The show is being filmed live, and we’re creating the best possible environment for the taping.
