ImprovBoston's Election Show! returns for seven shows from Friday, November 2-Tuesday November 6. On the final night, audiences can stay at the theatre and watch the election returns. Tickets cost $14-$18 with a discount available for students with a valid ID. ImprovBoston is located at 40 Prospect Street. Tickets are available online at www.improvboston.com.

What if audiences had the power to create a political platform? Election Show! is ready to prove what happens when politics truly gets in the hands of the people. With a platform suggestion from the audience, which can be anything from "Ham and Cheese Forever" to "I Love Dragons", Boston's finest (and most absurd) comedians are ready to improvise campaigns, slogans and attack ads that may just make audiences like politics again. After the comedians do their work, the audience gets to elect a fictional president, who ran on the platform the audience suggested.

The show is directed by Mike Morrell. The cast features: Mike Morrell, Christine Cuddy, Bobby Smithney, Matt Chapuran, Matt McGlaughlin, Robert Woo, Marcello Illarmo, Chris Duffy, Patrick French, Emily Holland, Lori Strauss, Paul Dome, and Shannon Connolly.

Schedule:
Friday, November 2, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Saturday, November 3, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Sunday, November 4, 8 p.m.
Monday, November 5, 8 p.m.
Tuesday, November 6, 8 p.m. (audiences can stay and watch the election returns after)
