About the Show

In his new Off-Broadway show, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning comedian Paul Mecurio improvises with audience members by randomly bringing them on stage and talking with them about their beliefs.

In this one-man comedy show with a twist, Mecurio improvises with selected audience members, and talks to them about who they are, their lives, interests, personal experiences and what they honestly think, without feeling boxed in by the confines of contrived political correctness or fear of offending.
