BIT Improv Comedy Network | MAIN STAGE

Ever wonder how that hanging skeleton ended up in your science class? The BIT CREW explains that nagging mystery in episode one's delightful animated short "The Spooky Villa."

"WAIT!" you may be thinking. "Y'all are doing an animated short and a feature film in an audio only podcast."

YES! Why yes, we are. All you have to do is press play, close your eyes, and enjoy The BIT Comedy Network's spooky take on the classic "Three Bears" saga followed by a haunted-house themed horror feature entitled KILL de SAC.

As always, this podcast is 100% unscripted. Music and sound effects were added in post.

In rabbitHOLE's fifth episode, the BIT CREW educates listeners about some critical issues, including:

• Googlie Wooglie
• Mc Dojo
• Grammar Police

Konrad takes a deep dive into the origins of the term GOOGOL (a one with a hundred zeroes) and starts the BIT CREW off on an improv adventure of surf lingo, organized crime involving unsuspecting UK co-eds, "re-imagining" history, and mispronouncing words. Episode five has our favorite ending so far…we all just lost it – we hope you laugh so much your sides will ache, and your heart goes pitter-pat.

As always, rabbitHOLE is unscripted and inspired by the CREW's real-life rabbit hole adventures.

In rabbitHOLE's third episode, the BIT CREW reminisces about their first duck, the forced vacation policy in Scandinavian countries (we admit it, we're envious), no one noticing when you leave work to take classes, and selling everything you own after experiencing minimalist culture (even the clothes on your child's back). This episode was quite an educational trip… we hope you remember your first duck!
