Maybe it’s the quality of comedy or maybe it’s the world, but this show has been a soothing laugh in these hard days.
If you hunger for comedy is great, you’ll get your full no matter what episode you start with.
Found this podcast after the recc from an appearance on Word Association.
The friendship, charisma and chemistry are a fortune to my ears, and the comedy benefitting from such quality is exactly what I need in between all my politics podcasts.
Appreciate all the work and hope more ... more
I feel like Damian is the dad actually.
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.
