“Who are you?” “A ghost” “Oh okay, wait what?”

I'll allow it

Choose!

[@Reminji]

And then he hilariously comes back during the wedding and incidentally solves the situation of who shot the clown. So perfect.

That conversation was insane! What a delicious meal for an improv comedian to just receive that much detail when asking for a prompt, haha!

How strange that they were all sitting off in a special area and already miced up so you could hear them perfectly at a normal speaking volume, too! Improv is nuts sometimes

[@eskillkke9623]

Eskil Løkke yeah seriously, @dogchaser520 is an idiot

[@adamsandlerreal9200]

it might be staged, but you can't deny that the show is still hilarious! and you can tell that at least some of the moments were improvised -them forgeting their characters' names, forgeting plot details etc. (you're right, of course, it does seem too perfect)

So if that is the bride's side, AND the groom's side... ...we must be the people from the music festival.

[@belongin]

Holy shit, I didn't realize how terrifying the idea of a completely improvised show is. Just watching them getting on stage gave me a bit of anxiety. They are amazing though

[@redheadredemption1573]

Those people were a goldmine

need a season 2 for this

[@warsscarsplanetmars]

So proud of these rascals getting the recognition they deserve! Their creativity is a force to be reckoned with.

[@lucaduarte1306]

Ok Netflix, I know you have one more of their shows taped and I want it now

[@anderugalde4969]

Watched the three episodes back to back. They are fenomenal. We need more!!

And phenomenal

[@spiercephotography]

All three episodes are hilarious and a ton of fun! As is the random appearances they’ve been doing for publicity. More please!

[@spaces1990]

Netflix really needs to "yes and" these guys and give them another season

Someone give them a residency so that we can get these on at least a weekly basis

[@bori4683]

This is honestly the BEST thing I’ve watched in a loooong time, not even just on Netflix, but on basically everything!!! These guys are insanely hilarious and just brilliant at what they’re doing! At this point I think I’ve watched each episode at least 3 times and I still end up crying with laughter. This content just feels like such a breath of fresh air in this time especially, it’s so unique, witty and charming! I reeeaaallly recommend you to watch it and tell your friends about it too, so when this is all over, so Netflix can give them even more episodes!

[@alexmargolin2176]

More more more. More like this, more of this, more. My husband and I loved it sooo much.

[@leannabad3839]

They either probably have a few audience mics spread around and just do a good job isolating the selected audiences voices in post production, or they just run the mics to them in real time

[@XxJiiGSAWx]

nah they got a crew member with a big ass boom mic you can see it comin in

[@lookupAndy]

Yeah there's a boom mic. You can see it and hear the sound quality get better at 1:45

House mics (omnidirectional microphones that catch most of the audience), and a boom microphone you can see in frame once the conversation is started.

@@myrin265 Yes. Why were the people with the interesting story sat in the well lit balcony?

[@myrin265]

Freddie Elsom They paid for box tickets...? And the balcony is hardly well-lit.

[@dogchaser520]

How strange that the randomly selected wedding group was sitting off in a special area! Almost as if done intentionally. Not saying it was all faked, but certainly they needed "a crazy story" to get started, so they sat these people off and had a mic waiting nearby and gave the guys the right question to ask to get them to talk.

[@myrin265]

dogchaser520 That would ruin the whole point of their IMPROVISED tour. The wedding group was _probably_ on the balcony because they paid for better tickets--possibly an early wedding present? And the camera crew had a boom mic ready to lower for whoever was chosen to talk. You can see the guy on the far right grabbing it.

[@ColinPoole]

That venue is nailed dahn! But seriously - what a jerk, instantly made me doubt it was improv when the special people up in the box seats equipped with at least one hidden microphone are the ones who interact hahaha.

[@MuhammadNafay]

They choose the story first in the audience and they get selected to be on video for story telling. The acts after that are improv and without any script but yes the story is known before

[@lolabworse]

no its not?

[@lolabworse]

there is a mic under the balcony, cause - you know - everything is taped and theres a lot of cameras and microphones and stuff.

[@lolabworse]

you can see the mic at 1:42 getting to the balcony.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

"nothing is planned" so there just so happened to be mics on the first two audience members describing the wedding

[@phucnguyenminh2101]

I feel like it's setup. Not to discredit MiddleDitch and Swatchz but maybe it's proper show on Netflix so Netflix producers may request to be as well crafted as possible, so...

[@myrin265]

phuc nguyenminh Nope. Ben & Thomas have been doing improv together for a long time. These specials were filmed while they were on tour.

[@bernardfarquharson3275]

I already don’t buy this because the people telling the story up there are mic’d... from the beginning. The producers obviously heard their story and planted them .

[@bernardfarquharson3275]

Tim Portantno ohhhh gotcha thanks 👍🏾
