Two hilarious “bestseller” books are created from your suggestions, then performed live in this fast-paced improv comedy show.

What if the next bestselling novel was written live… right in front of you? In Bestsellers, two never-before-published books are born from your suggestions. Our improvisers gather as a wildly opinionated book club, imagining the plot, characters, and dramatic twists of a brand-new novel, completely inspired by the audience. Then they jump inside the story and perform scenes from this freshly invented literary masterpiece.
Will it be a sweeping romance? A thrilling mystery? A wildly inappropriate children’s book? No one knows until the audience decides.
Watch as an entire “bestseller” unfolds on stage—complete with unforgettable characters, surprising plot turns, and the kind of drama only improvisers can create on the spot.
