Mel McGlensey is Normal
Comedian Mel McGlensey is trapped inside a simulation. She will only be let out if she can be normal for an entire hour of comedy. Can she do it? She'll need your help - she's letting her crowd choose what happens, with the help of some custom built audience voting software. Come along for a one-of-a-kind collaborative clown experience plumbing the depths of normaldom, as decided by you. Let's have a normal one, folks!
Co-created by game designer Douglas Wilson. Directed by Sharnema Nougar. Custom audio by David Kanaga.
