Forming a set from a blank page to a finished act, in front of a real audience.

Over five nights, September 29-October 3, the comedians workshop and rework the material after each show and over lunch the next day, sharpening it night by night. The only rules: the material has to be fresh, never performed on stage before, and it has to be funny.
