Together cast and audience explore, process and survive today's top scandals and spectacles. With so much drama in today's world - Fighting in the Middle East, Fighting in the Ukraine, President fighting the GOP, the NFL fighting women, Britney Spears Fighting a porn star... we can all use a little comedy to cope. Come be a part of the show!!!
