Audience members play a role at the Idiot Box. Spectators recommend scenes for the comedians to perform during the weekend improv shows--every show is different. The Saturday 8 p.m. show is designed to be family-friendly, with clean language and actions. The other performances might not be appropriate for children. Alcohol is served for people over 21. New comedians can take three levels of improv comedy classes at the club and attend open mic night the last Thursday of every month.
