I’m on my 2nd play through the entire catalog! Love the chat, (I have a bit of a crush on Tim 😜), & Love the immersive sound effects on the improv. Funny, smart & wholesome.
I was a fan for a few years. The presentation and format have changed. The show name change isn’t a big deal. And now that these creators have put main episodes behind a Patreon paywall, this is where I depart as a fan. I appreciate the Improve Is Dead years of the show. But now that the show is behind a paywall, I’m done. Maybe if the show returns to how it was, I might come back as a regular listener. But for now, it’s a pass. Thanks folks, for the entertainment! And good luck with the show in... more

A high-energy, improv-focused comedy show built around long-form scenes, banter, and chaotic bit-driven bits. Episodes frequently feature guest performers from Chicago's improv and comedy scenes, plus recurring in-house hosts, with rapid scene shifts, meta-humor, audience prompts, and light sponsorship reads. The mix emphasizes collaborative storytelling, character-driven bits, and an affectionate, often goofy dynamic among hosts and guests. Noteworthy elements include recurring live-read promos, a penchant for running gags, and a flexible format that embraces chaos and improvisation as the core appeal.
