Charm Scene: Improvised Musicals

We're back in action - and so is charming guest Sean Buckley (Baby Wants Candy, Teen Girl Book)! Sean tells us about her time with Project Adventure, inspiring this week's felt-tastic improvised musical. Puppeted parents, alluring aliens, maternal mashed potatoes, and more in this all new Charm Scene. Let's save the family!

It's a Fringe-fueled new episode of Chat Scene as we sit down with the incredible Chris Grace (Dropout.tv, Superstore, Baby Wants Candy). We go deep into the differences between Chicago and LA, Chris's history with Baby Wants Candy, producing your own content, and more.

Chris Grace (he/him) is best known for his regular appearances on Dropout.tv and NBC’s “Superstore.” He performs stand-up and improv comedy all over the world, including with “Baby Wants Candy,” “Shamilton,” and "Holy Shit Improv,” and he won a Webby for his debut comedy special “Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson.” You can also seem him in “The Residence,” “PEN15,” “Broad City,” and more. He lives in Los Angeles with his husband Eric Michaud. IG/TikTok: @chrisgracecomedy

We're alive! And ready for a (food) fight. We travelled to sunny Cleveland, Ohio for an all new improvised musical - filled with rugged wrestlers, juvenile Jersey Boys, catapulted Case Western cabbages, and Austin's mom. Oh what a night - in Cleveland!

It's a "Chat Scene" bonus surprise! In celebration of our award-winning 100th episode, we look back at the past two years of Charm Scene, discuss the show's creation, answer listener questions, and more. Happy 100!

Our LIVE 100th episode, and we're celebrating with a classic Charm Scene road trip - complete with NINE surprise guests - all at Chicago's own iO Theater. Old orphans, haunted hotels, precious programmers and more. Here's to the next 100!

It's a new day for podcasts as Charm Scene is visited by two LEGENDARY music improvisers - Ashley Ward and Adrien Pellerin! We combine their stories in this newborn improvised musical, complete with bobbing babies, dangerous dams, heroic horses and more. Did we mention it's a new day?

A tale as old as time. Boy jumps in water. Boy drowns in water. Boy gets saved by a hot mom. It's our take on this classic story, told by 5 time charming guest Brandon Michael Thomas, that finally peels back the curtain on just who that hot mom was. Complete with chatty children, maternal muscles, and ill-advised improv invitations, this week's Charm Scene dares to ask the question, "Hey, aren't you in Shamilton?"

Stunning one and two bedroom units available in this classic Chicago improvised musical. An easy walk to charming guest Megan Ramsey, with ample space for chore charts, in-unit babbling babies, erroneous air-conditioning, and crown molding. Laundry and maintenance on-site, no security deposit, pets welcome. Managed by @charmscenepod.

Duck quack! It's a ducking duckprovised ducksical with charming duck Tess Abeduck (Holy Fuck Comedy Hour, Tuesday Musical Improv, Pigskin). Melodious mallards, aquatic actors, feathered families, and more on this week's Duck Scene. You just got DUCKED.

Welcome to Door County Summer Stock! We're sat as charming guest Delaney Sterling (Tuesday Musical Improv, Marquee) manages the house in this week's fully improvised musical. Talkative ticket buyers, shushed Shakespeare, and somehow Sara Bareilles - all this and more on this episode of Charm Scene. Shhhh!
