Next Show, May 21: (Please don’t sue us) Unaffiliated Task-Based Show
I’m a guest panelist on this show that has no affiliation with anything even close to what you might think it does. There. We good? Here’s the official description:
(Please don’t sue us) Unaffiliated Task-Based Show* is a chaotic comedy game show where comedians do tasks in a way that is deeply unaffiliated with any other panel comedy show. Each comedian must complete a series of (mundane, bizarre, and often useless) challenges set out by Allie Entwistle and her sycophantic assistant, Ronald Dario. Technical “support” is provided tirelessly and inaccurately by Maarten Bayliss. After each task the comedians’ attempts are awarded points by Allie Entwistle while Ronald Dario watches Peppa Pig re-runs on his iPad and Maarten plays erroneous noise over the loudspeaker.
*Any resemblance to real persons or other task-based panel game shows is purely coincidental. All characters and other entities appearing here are fictitious and also please don’t sue us. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!
