Eh, what did you say? Oh, new Audible original comedy + release show this weekend? Got it! If that wasn’t clear, BAD RECEPTION is an entirely improvised comedy AUDIBLE ORIGINAL, that is set entirely, wait for it, on the PHONE. The show, created and directed by Justin Michael (Cartoon Network’s Infinity Train writer) and narrator Eric Martin (Maximum Fun’s Bubble director) and presented by Audible Originals and Audible Comedy, stars a cast of over 40 top comedians and improvisers including Paul F. Tompkins, D’Arcy Carden, Kyle Mooney, Lauren Lapkus, Nicole Byer, and more. The unscripted comedy of thirteen acts takes place in South Grampers, California, of course, the “Movie Theater Butter Capital of the World.” The town is forced to launch their own festival do take care of some cash deficit problems. However, an unexpected sequence of events leads to an extreme situation known as… “The Incident.” There’s only one soul that can expose the bubbling truth and , spoiler alert, he’s not in the know yet.
