Vape! The Grease Parody is a hilariously unhinged spoof of the iconic and timeless musical film Grease. The show pokes loving fun at all of the wonderful moments, sexual innuendos, outrageous characters, rivalries and secret romances from the original. The hair products may have changed, but the drama, the rivalries, and the thirst for hallway clout remain timeless. It’s the musical you know and love… but dragged through a cloud of strawberry-scented vapor and a TikTok filter.. It’s the show that you want (…Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, honey!)

After originally premiering in Atlanta in 2018, Don’t Vape! was scheduled to premiere in NYC in August 2019 at Improv Asylum. Ten days before the first performance, the rightsholders of Grease served Sketchworks Comedy a cease-and-desist letter, claiming Don’t Vape! violated their copyright. As a result, Sketchworks Comedy filed a lawsuit against Grease, believing that they were protected under fair use law. After a two-and-a-half year legal battle, Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain ruled that Don’t Vape! is, indeed, a parody.
