We're going to be honest here, we make a LOT of stuff up. Right on the spot. Based on your suggestions. And it's funny. Hilariously funny. We also perform our own original sketches. And those are really funny too. No show is ever the same. Always unique, always energetic, always funny. YOU. WILL. LAUGH.
