The following are a few clips from our first few 2008 shows. First a few long forms and then a few examples of various short forms. We'll keep rotating these with new material, but you can always see older clips on our MySpaceTV channel.
Long forms
| Monoscene C.K. and Willie are two friends that have bowled together since high school. The last time we checked in with them was when Willie's sister Peg and their friend Laurie were in town for the guys' high school reunion, 18 months ago. That weekend, Peg and C.K. got enaged. Time has passed, they're married now, and Peg wants to take the next step. Join C.K. and Willie as they bowl a few frames and discuss adoption in the latest chapter of the ongoing story of The AlleyKatz.  |

| Cut-to Montage
and Monoscene For Act II of the February 23 show we had planned a little montage scene following a narrative and a separate monoscene about a support group. Halfway through the montage, a topic was raised that inspired us to the point where rather than solicit a suggestion for the monoscene, we just explored the topic. And so we present our exploration of two topics that we all deal with daily - "Why do men leave the toilet seat up?" and adults who still use their baby blankets. |
Ballad
of the Baby Blankets. |

| Monoscene March 15 saw the return of one of our most beloved stories, The Tafffy Show. Tafffy is a talk show host who is always at odds with her producer, Bob. Bob always seems to find the guests that will drive Tafffy crazy, and is always ready to egg them on to keep the chaos building. |

Short Form
| Revolving
Doors A game in which each player must enter/exit when his word is used. From the suggestion of "chocolate cow" we enter the world of edible art. (Please note, we do try to educate our audience on the difference between adverbs and adjectives.) |

| Questions
Only Romni recently had a conversation with an improvisor who was adament that you can't ask questions in improv. To prove her postion, Romni challenged Mikey and Matthew to perform a scene using questions only in this scene about two friends and a soccer game. |
