BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - eMusicWire -- Part Town Hall, Part Improvised Parody
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!

Comedians have come together to take the reins of the absurdity of our current political moment and create a hilarious and cathartic town hall event.

Working with local chapters of multiple political action groups*, 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 loath to represent.

An expert cast of improvisers and comedians (some of the area's best) are thrown in the game to represent the absent empty chair elected officials. Through a series 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. Including players such as Christopher Davis (the Moth, ETC, Ugly Baby), Jason Sims (Rocket City Improv), Eunice Elliot, Wes Van Horn (Avondale Upstairs Series), Chris Ivey (Don't Tell Comedy producer), Rich Mansfield (ETC, Bernie Maskman show), and many more!
