Feed your Tamagotchi and head to Stomping Ground for some sitcom nostalgia! This improv show takes everything you loved (or maybe hated) about 90s family sitcoms and cranks it up to eleven. Think wacky plot lines, gag-worthy fashion choices, and those awkward life lessons delivered with a healthy dose of canned laughter.
This sitcom will be DA BOMB…plus we make it up on the fly! You'll cast our dysfunctional but lovable family and all the wholesome (and cliched) characters you know and love from the 90s including the girl-crazy teenage son, the precocious child with the witty one-liners, and the no-nonsense Mom keeping it all together. We'll take you on a trip down memory lane and throw the fam into situations that are so outrageous they'll make your Furbys explode. Imagine a dad who ditches his day job to become a silent salesman… a brawl over who gets the last Pog Champion slammer… a lesson about internet safety that's, like, so last decade, it's not even funny. Let us know YOUR favorite 90s cliches and they'll become part of the show. We're bringing you all the best (and worst) of 90's family life, reimagined with improv chaos that'll have you totally trippin'.
