A VERY DUMB IDEA / ROAST-STYLE COMPLIMENT CONTEST.

Created a few years ago and hosted by Kyle Ayers, comedians compete to see who can compliment one another in this showdown of sweetness, this clash of consideration, this barrage of benevolence. Playing off of the idea of roasts, Boast Rattle has two comedians go head-to-head, delivering alternating blows of the nicest order. Two rounds. One lucky crowd member who gets some on-the-spot boasting. One Champion of Charity, Master of Magnanimity. 

Boast Rattle has been featured in the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, The Kennedy Center in DC, New York Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Moontower Comedy Festival, and more. It has traveled coast to coast, and featured Andy Kindler, Martha Kelly, Eugene Mirman, Aparna Nancherla, Jo Firestone, Scott Adsit, John Early, Amy Miller, Nikki Glaser, Kate Berlant, Janelle James, and more.

WHOSE ROUTINE REIGNS SUPREME?

Help us kick off High Plains in style with this hilarious game of on-the-fly standup. Iron Comic is a live gameshow with no stakes where 5 comedians rush to write a routine in 8 minutes from topics suggested by the audience. At the end of the night, an Iron Comic will be chosen. Inspired by Iron Chef, each comic is forced to craft jokes while the clock is ticking.

Iron Comic is hosted by Nato Green. Competitors include David Gborie, Shane Torres, Eliza Skinner, Adam Cayton-Holland, and Baron Vaughn, while straight-standup performers Johan Miranda, Vanessa Gonzalez, and Irene Tu will keep things moving while the competitors are writing away.

Reunited! brings together the casts of beloved sitcoms for in-depth panel discussions, Q & A sessions, and table-reads of classic scenes.

The catch? The shows never existed, except in the minds of hosts/show-creators Josh Androsky and Bryan Cook.  Additionally, none of the guests have any prior knowledge of the series they “starred” on.

Cook and Androsky create a fictionalized world where a panel of comics discuss personal issues, professional pitfalls, and brushes with the law. It would be the most scandalous show in Hollywood if any of it had ever happened.

Hometown boys The Grawlix (Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy) were already big stars in Denver, but they did the Mile High City proud—and gained an even wider nationwide following—when truTV picked up their original show Those Who Can't as the network's first scripted comedy. The trio has spent most of the year in L.A. writing and filming the show's third season.

Now you can get a sneak peek at a future episode! Adam, Andrew and Ben will be joined by TWC writer Lisa Best, and castmates Sonya Eddy, Maria Thayer, and Rory Scovel as they perform a live table read of a season three episode (or two!).

Half stand up, half game show, Uncalled Four is an interactive crowd experience. Comedians write a deck of 20 terrible/hilarious answers to audience questions like "What does Trump's hair smell like?" or "Dad went out to buy _____ and never came back." Comedians each submit a card while we give out a prize each round, then fan reaction determines the winner. After 30 minutes, comics can wager points in the final "Degenerate Gambler" round to see who will be The Worst Person.
