PARTICIPANT SCHEDULE

Say You Love Satan!

Room A | S.A. Bradley | Vincent V. Cava

Party like we’re in the Dark Ages! Hundreds of years ago, hysterical people saw Satan and devil worshipers everywhere. Guess what? Hysterical people are STILL seeing Satan and devil worshipers everywhere! So, let’s show some Sympathy for the Devil and prove that no matter what century, Satan is the world’s favorite scapegoat! Panelists play against the audience to see who can tell if accusations “ripped from the headlines” happened in the Dark Ages, the Reagan Era, or the Trump Era!

Into the Mouth of Mad-Libs

Room B | James Sabata | S.A. Bradley

The only show where the audience becomes the twisted engine of storytelling chaos. You shout out the wildest nouns, verbs, and adjectives you can dream up, and we plug them into terrifying tales absolutely no one (including us) is prepared for. We read the finished stories aloud in all their unpredictable, spine‑tingling, logic‑defying glory. Part horror, part improv, all linguistic disaster. Step right up and help us create a monster of a story.
