Bandwagon
Live, improvised, inappropriate, uncensored acoustic-rock comedy is back - just the way you like it!

Be part of the meteoric rise of a totally made-up rock band with Bandwagon - a comedy show where you name the band, you pick the song titles, and we rock your socks off!

Featuring some favorite Quad Cities improv comedy talents - and a beloved part of The Late Nite Shows, Bandwagon is always a new concert experience with an evening of improv comedy scenes, musical mischief, and audience interactivity.
