  • Summary

  • Hosts Cole Stratton and Janet Varney join four guest improvisers to create this show in total darkness in front of a live audience at a comedy club in California. The characters and the conflicts are all based upon the one-word suggestions from the people in the room and are enhanced with music and sound effects. Episodes feature a unicorn who plays board games, a talking dog that saves the day, and a boy who escapes from a bubble to pursue his passion for coin collecting.

    Janet Varney is an Emmy-Nominated actor, comedian, writer and producer. She played the award-winning voice of Korra on the Nickelodeon hit The Legend of Korra. She co-stars on the IFC show, Stan Against Evil and the FXX comedy You're The Worst. She was the host of the beloved TBS show Dinner and a Movie and was a regular on the series Burning Love.

    Cole Stratton is an actor, improviser and writer based in Los Angeles. You may have seen him on the TV shows, American Horror Story, Nash Bridges, and Good Girls. He writes and performs comedic commentary for films on RiffTrax.com, an online venture helmed by the creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
