FULLY WRITTEN.
WILDLY REAL.
A sketch show performed in real places, around real people—where a finished scene can collide with an unfinished world.
Actors & comedians+Real locations+Real reactions
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
THIS ISN'T
A PRANK SHOW.
The point isn't to mess with people.
The point is to make hilarious sketches.
If the real world joins in, we go with it.
“That is where some real gold can happen.”

THE ORIGIN STORY
IT STARTED
ON THE BUS.
In college, Dan and his friends staged fake conversations to make other passengers laugh. They counted the laughs. They battled each other.
People hid their faces and snickered. Some couldn't help joining in and asking questions.
“WHY NOT MAKE IT A SHOW?”
FROM BUSSES TO RESTAURANTS
WE'LL BE
THERE.
