ABOUT OFFLINE

What We Do

Offline hosts live, phone-free events across California's Central Valley — comedy shows, poker nights, game nights, and private gatherings. Our one rule: phones stay away at the door.

We believe real connection requires presence. Not filtered. Not filmed. Not fed back to you through an algorithm. Just you, the people around you, and whatever happens next.

Founded in Turlock, CA. Comedy shows in Modesto, Turlock, Merced, Davis and Sacramento, with expansion to additional California markets underway.

How It Works

You sign up via SMS with your phone number and zip code. When an Offline event drops in your area, we text you a ticket link. The morning of the event, we text you the location. You show up, put your phone away at the door, and reconnect with the world.

We send three messages per ticket you buy — purchase confirmation, day-before reminder, and day-of location reveal. Plus occasional announcements about new events in your area. That's it. Reply STOP anytime.

Who Runs Offline

Offline is built and operated by Andrew Nosrati, based in Turlock, California. Events are produced in partnership with local plugs (event organizers) — including Branson Garza and a growing network of talent, hosts, and venue operators across the Central Valley.

Platform built by one human working with AI. We're transparent about that — see our fees page for more on how Offline operates and where money goes.
