DUTY FREE LIVE! to Return For Season 2 at Caveat This Week

"Duty Free Live! Unauthorized Imported Game Shows!" is a comedy show bringing international game show formats to (unauthorized) life by New York's best comedians. Led by Kent Morita, Grant Mulitz, and Christopher Morucci the show will be an unauthorized localized production of segments from two smash-hit international game shows, "Just a Minute" and "Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende", from the UK and Japan respectively.

"Just A Minute" is an award-winning British radio comedy panel game that's been on the airwaves for over 50 years! Guest panelists take turns being challenged to speak for one minute straight on a random subject, that they do not know in advance, without pausing, repeating themselves or deviating from the topic. During the one-minute speech, other panelists may buzz in and "challenge" if they catch the speaker breaking the rules, after which they must take over the rest of the speech. Whoever is the speaker at the end of the minute wins!

"Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahende" is a Japanese variety show that has been helmed by the legendary comedic duo Downtown for over 30 years. With over 1500 episodes and counting, Gaki was where the original concept for Silent Library and the legendary No-Laughing series originated. This time we're playing, "Budget Costume Contest", a segment of Gaki where contestants are tasked to create the best costume they can while only using items they find in a dollar store with a limited budget.

Our Players: Steph Rae (North Coast, Freestyle+), Anne Hogan (BoogieManja), Bahlya Yansane (Fearless One, They Were Nice to Me, Anything But Stand Up), RJ Williams (Baby Wants Candy, North Coast), Reva Grimball (BoogieManja, The Understudies, Drunk Bathroom Girl), Aakash Kesavarapu (CaucAsians, The New Roommates), Topher Wagner (The Petticoat Tales), Kalynn Chambers (UCB, Character's Welcome)
