"On occasion, you stumble upon something special and unique. This happened to me this past Saturday. I attended Radio Happy Hour." -Music Taster's Choice

Radio Happy Hour, New York's hit radio murder mystery that's not really on the radio, comes to Minneapolis in April! April's fake-radio comedy features special guests Tapes 'n Tapes (including a musical performance), Chris Koza, and novelist Geoff Herbach. This month's story stars Tapes 'n Tapes frontman Josh Grier as an Intramural Roughhousing coach for the local Parks 'n Rec. With a class full of the Radio Happy Hour crew, Geoff Herbach and Chris Koza, they must solve the case as a member of the class is murdered by someone in the room.

Radio Happy Hour, the radio show not on the radio, is a live variety show featuring a made-for-radio murder mystery sitcom, guest stars, musical performances, an audience quiz, and interviews. The April 24th performance at the Cedar is a break from the show's usual home at (le) Poisson Rouge in New York's Greenwich Village.

Radio Happy Hour is the creation of Minneapolis native, Sam Osterhout, who also writes and serves as the show's host. "Even when the mystery is asinine, it's hilarious on stage because it takes the guest star out of his/her comfort zone," said Osterhout, "That's my goal with this show: to tell a good, funny story and to give the audience a little bit of the guest star that they've never seen before. The results are always surprising, and always funny." The show also stars actors Matt Skibiak and Robin Reed, with music by Stephanie Davila (aka StarDweller).

All shows are podcast online following each performance. You can hear past episodes of Radio Happy Hour, with guests such as Norah Jones, Andrew W.K., The Hold Steady, Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio, Cursive, Jolie Holland, Michael Showalter, Chuck Klosterman, and more here.
