🎤 Audio Tips

• Keep background noise low.
• Mute when not speaking or performing.
• If you hear echo, make sure audio isn’t coming through speakers.

• 4 commercial breaks led by improvisers with fake ads.
• Audience can place fun “side bets” in chat — no money, just glory.

🎸 The Band

The house band brings the live soundtrack — writing fake theme songs, scoring games, and performing short improv numbers. You might even be part of their bit. Stay ready.

💥 Attitude & Energy

This is a fun-first show. If something goes wrong — make it part of the bit. Celebrate mistakes, embrace chaos, and stay playful. When in doubt: make the fun.
