Award-winning comedian Tom Short is on a mission—to become famous. But not just any kind of famous. The kind of famous where people stop him in Aldi and say, “Aren’t you that guy from the internet?” Armed with a phone, a dangerously inflated ego, and a deep misunderstanding of how algorithms work, Tom sets out to crack the code of online comedy. Blending live stand-up, absurd sketches, and chaotic multimedia, this show hilariously dissects the delusional pursuit of viral success and asks: Has comedy become less about making people laugh and more about gaming the system? From the Comedy A...

Compilation show where comedians have to see how they can incorporate a randomly assigned prop into their set - prizes for best/most innovative use of prop.

Some props will be more "normal" whereas some will really venture into weird and wacky territory. A test of comedians' ability to improv and ad lib by trying to incorporate the prop as best as possible into their pre-existing routine or riff completely based on said prop. ...
