😲 Rules? Unknown. Laughter? Unstoppable. 😆
❤️ The cause? Local nonprofits!

On Sept 18 at The Bur Oak, three fearless comedians step into the spotlight for Game-Never-The-Samer — Madison’s one-of-a-kind improvised comedy gameshow. The twist? They don’t know the games, or even the rules, until they’re already playing. Every round flips the script, forcing them to adapt on the fly as the chaos builds.

Expect quick wit, ridiculous challenges, and nonstop surprises — with the only guarantee being that you’ll be laughing as they scramble to outsmart the game and each other.

✅ 100% of ticket sales go to local nonprofits
✅ Audience participation after the main show
✅ One night only — be part of the chaos!
