Part One: Part One: The night kicks off with a unique performance, setting the performers in a new format with special guest improvisers showcasing their signature style or a never-before-seen format. Your suggestions fuel the fire, and the improvisers will ignite the stage, bringing your ideas to life.
Part Two: The second half launches from a single audience suggestion, setting the performers in motion. It might start with a song, a monologue, or a rapid-fire group connection game. Whatever emerges will inspire spontaneous stories, surprising twists, and big comedic swings.
Loose Cannons is fueled by audience ideas, fearless performers, and the thrill of not knowing what happens next. You light the fuse. They run with it. What they create is entirely up to you.
