Reality Detox: The Improv Experience

A brazen acting coach, a millennial superhero, a horny Benjamin Franklin. These are just some of the characters that find themselves as suspects to a murder! The only problem is they all claim innocence. Join us for a night of merriment and mystery as we find out together Whodunnit Anyway?

Whodunnit Anyway?

Bingeable: An Original Spin-off! is a fast, unfiltered improvised night of made-up-on-the-spot television. The ensemble takes your favorite comfort show and cranks out an entirely new spin-off, live and unscripted, complete with a fresh audience suggestion, absurd commercial breaks, and zero rehearsal. Kicked off by a guest opener before the cast dives headfirst into a brand-new pilot episode, it&#8217;s binge-worthy, wildly unpredictable, and gone forever the second it airs. Come get hooked on a show that doesn&#8217;t exist yet.
