3pm Saturday Times Square NYC Improv Comedy

Sunday 12/1/24 Madcapped Mysteries: The Mad Lib Murders, Times Square NYC

Unleash your inner detective and become part of the most unpredictable crime-solving experience ever! GET TICKETS

MADCAPPED MYSTERIES Our newest show combines the power of improvisation and the popularity of true crime comedy drama. The opening minutes are akin to our popular game HUMAN MAD LIBS and the first scene of any LAW & ORDER episode. Using the guests to fill in the blanks, the entire audience helps establish a crime, naming a fictional victim, and building crime scene details. For the next 20-30 minutes the detective runs around the room and briefly interrogates guests, each assigned a character in our story. Each encounter delivers inspiration for another character. We meet the mayor, chief of police, forensics, coroner, family, friends, coworkers, teachers and other potential witnesses. Before long many guests (perhaps all for smaller events) have been part for the show. At this point, the detective identifies 3-5 stand outs as our prime suspects. The audience is deputized and broken into teams to interrogate suspects, collaborate and deliberate a final solution to the crime. Our detective reads many of the solutions aloud and picks a winning team. We present silly prizes to the winning team and the best actor, voted by your peers.

Madcapped Mysteries: The Mad Lib Murders is an improvised show where YOU, the audience, hold the key to cracking the case.

Here’s the twist: Before the show, you’ll provide us with wacky words and phrases. Our quick-witted cast will then weave those into a hilarious, spontaneous murder mystery plot.

You’ll become suspects, witnesses, and potential victims as our top detective navigates the chaos to find the culprit. Every show is a unique and side-splitting adventure, crafted entirely from your suggestions.

Get ready for a night of laughter, intrigue, and madcap mayhem!
