Birmingham, AL - April 30th, 2025
Everything Is Great!
Part Town Hall, Part improvised parody!
Comedians have come together to the reins of the absurdity of our current political participation and create a hilarious and cathartic town hall event worthy of the nonsense.
Real issues and questions are fielded by comedians playing the roles of absent elected officials in this improvised live game show version of a TOWN HALL!
Alabama native and internationally touring performer Matt Davis debuts a brand new show that addresses the current moment head on.
Designed in the vein of other Fringe Arts Festival shows Matt has produced, the format combines interactive elements and improvised lines with an almost game show-esque excitement to parody the spectacle and dismissiveness on display between elected officials and the people they seem loathe to represent.
An expert cast of improvisers are thrown into the game, to represent the absent elected officials. And through a serious of rounds the comedians lend their voice to the missing officials and answer real questions and concerns posed by the audience. But! The comedians must toe-the-line that “everything is great” in all their responses, that is, if they wish to receive points from our host, Mr. Dark Money. The audience, however, is here to win, too! And they boo and jeer on queue, amid ridiculous answers, blatant sponsorships, redemption groveling, surprise guests and other happenings.
All together it turns our town hall show into a hilarious evening of improvised comedy, and real community catharsis!
