What is the show?

• Shows open with a lively conversation with a newsmaker or policy wonk.

• That conversation inspires a team of Minnesota’s most sharpest improvisers, who create entirely spontaneous sketches based on the interview.

• The expert guest(s) then answers questions from the audience.

• The show wraps with one last round of improv from the cast.
