Long Time Listener, First Time Caller

“Long Time Listener, First Time Caller” has a premise that feels particularly suited to Endgames Improv: the audience supplies the raw material, and the performers turn it into something that exists only for that night. The show takes its cues from the rhythms of call-in radio, with audience participation shaping the improvisation rather than simply sitting back and watching a preset set of scenes. That makes this a good choice for anyone who likes their comedy unpredictable and wants to have some say in what happens onstage. Endgames has long been a good home for experimental improv in San Francisco, and this format gives the performers plenty of room to follow an unexpected suggestion somewhere strange. On September 3, it makes for an easy weeknight pick when you want comedy that cannot be replayed the same way twice.
