Event Day: Friday 3:30 PM

Where Fandom Meets DNA Disasters!

Ever watched a messy daytime talk show and thought, "This is great, but it needs more Super Saiyans and existential dread"? Well, pull up a chair and grab a drink, because we’re turning the drama up to eleven.

Who’s Your Daddy? is a high-octane, 21+ improv experience that blends the chaotic energy of Maury with the multiverse’s most unlikely pairings. We’re taking your favorite fictional icons and throwing them into the hot seat to settle the ultimate question: are they the father?

What to Expect:

• Outlandish Scenarios: Ever wondered if Princess Peach’s baby (who looks suspiciously like Gollum) was actually fathered by All Might? Oh yeah, we’re going there.
• Pure Improv Chaos: Watch as our performers lean into the "he said, she said" madness, fueled by audience energy and questionable life choices.
• Public Spectacles: All the "should-be-private" struggles of your favorite characters, aired out for your absolute entertainment.
• Adults-Only Atmosphere: No kids, no filters—just pure, unadulterated drama and a chance to exclaim "You are NOT the father!"

Warning: This event contains high levels of tea, extreme character breaks, and zero paternity certainty.

Are you ready to join the dysfunction? Sign up below and come on down for a rippin good time!
