Trevor Haaker and Will Stiles, A couple of the Mud City boys, stop by the pod for a little chat'n'prov about liminal spaces, low level judges, and alien invasions!

We're doing Mud City on June 6th and you can get your tickets now!

Mud City Improv Festival is a Chicago-based improv festival that aims to celebrate the massive improv hub that Chicago is. We are excited to announce that our final and ultimate show for the fest this year will be hosted in the Heath Mainstage at the The Den Theater, with one of the greatest lineups of improvisors Chicago can offer! This year the festival will consist of 12 shows spread across six of Chicago's biggest improv theaters. The festival also aims to connect college improv teams to the Chicago improv community. This year’s festival will take place June 4th-6th at various venues in Chicago, with three nights of performances, workshops with veteran improvisors, and the opportunity to meet other college improvisors from across the country.

*WORM HOLE OPENS*

GAHH! Finally, after a full year of kicking around the prov-verses, we're back as Improv is Dead. This is no joke! While it is related to April Fools, because of the April Fools paradox, we really are Improv is Dead, the REAL audibly enhanced improv podcast. We sent those FUDGECAST guys back to their own Damin-verse on their proper Tim-Line.

Now we're back to chat'n'prov with Dan about nipple covered TikTok trends, Georgia Girls, and our trip to LA where Damian ate mediocre street corn.

It's good to be back!
