With all the bitching about the Cagematch...

[Don Hall]

...how about a real improv competition?

The "rules" are simple:

Ten teams. Two people on a team. Performance order drawn out of a hat. Suggestions written by the five judges drawn out of a hat. Ten minutes - exactly. One winning team.

And unlike other competitions of improvisation, this winning team walks out of the theater with two one hundred dollar bills.

It only comes once a year. It's bloody. It's hysterical.
