About The Show
Shiny is a long form improvisation duo hailing from New York City. With a little help from their audience, Mike and Michelle cooperatively craft a full-length monoscene, rapidly transforming into one another's characters. Although they are not huge R.E.M. fans, they do consider themselves shiny, happy, people.Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=188869881158050&ref=nf
