Master Ken LIVE at Martial Summit 2026

Friday, November 6, 2026
MoCo Arts — Keene, New Hampshire
Doors: 6:00 PM | Show: 6:30 PM
VIP Meet & Greet: 7:45 PM

If you're coming to Martial Summit, this is where Friday night is happening.

Join us for a live comedy performance from Master Ken, martial arts comedian, creator of Ameri-Do-Te, and the unmistakable face of Enter the Dojo.

Master Ken has built an enormous following by doing what very few people can: making fun of martial arts from inside martial arts. Whether you've followed him for years or only know the occasional clip, seeing Master Ken live is a very different experience.

The show runs for approximately one hour, and no Martial Summit training will take place during the performance.

Space is extremely limited.

General Admission — $35

Only 125 General Admission tickets are available

General Admission includes:

• Admission to the full Master Ken live comedy show
• First-come, first-served seating

Doors open at 6:00 PM and the show begins at 6:30 PM.

VIP — $100

Only 25 VIP tickets are available

VIP includes:

• Admission to the full Master Ken live comedy show
• Reserved seating closest to the stage
• Access to the exclusive post-show Master Ken meet-and-greet
• One photo with Master Ken
• One autograph from Master Ken

The post-show meet-and-greet is reserved exclusively for VIP ticket holders.

VIP guests should bring an item they would like Master Ken to autograph. Please also bring your own phone or camera for your photo. We may have someone available to assist with photos, but attendees should plan to provide their own device.

The VIP meet-and-greet begins at approximately 7:45 PM.

If getting a photo or autograph with Master Ken matters to you, VIP is the ticket to purchase. These opportunities are not included with General Admission or with Saturday's Martial Summit Banquet.

A Friday Night Worth Being in Keene For

Martial Summit brings martial artists together for four days of training, conversation, connection, and experiences that are difficult to replicate anywhere else.

Friday night gives us a chance to put the uniforms aside for an hour and laugh together.

Master Ken has spent years skewering the habits, clichés, personalities, and absurdities martial artists immediately recognize. Experiencing that in a room full of martial artists makes the show even better.

And with only 150 seats in total, you won't want to wait to grab your ticket.

Your Ticket Helps Make Martial Summit Possible

Martial Summit is built differently.

We don't charge a training fee or mat fee for four days of training because we want participation to remain as open as possible. Ticketed events like the Friday comedy show and Saturday banquet help us cover the very real cost of making the weekend happen.

When you purchase a ticket, you're getting a memorable part of Martial Summit weekend while helping us keep the training floor open to everyone.

Make Saturday Night Part of the Weekend, Too

The following evening, Martial Summit continues with the 2026 Martial Summit Banquet & Awards — catered barbecue, the Never Settle Awards, the Whistlekick Martial Arts League Awards, and Master Ken joining us for part of the evening.

Banquet tickets are sold separately and are also limited.
