Pack your bags for a no holds barred improvised trip – be it a family reunion, camping trip, or work retreat.
Before the show, each comedian secretly packs a backpack full of strange and random props. The improvisers exchange backpacks onstage at the beginning of the show and then must use and justify why ‘they’ brought each of the various props on the “trip.”
All edible props must be consumed by the unfortunate soul who pulls it out.
Hosted by Joseph Elston & Blake Edwards
