Shadowbox Live to Present SCANDALOUS
By: Tyler Peterson Mar. 04, 2016
"Let's be honest here, we, as a society, adore scandal," says Jimmy Mak, Shadowbox Live's Head Writer. "From Reality TV to the crazy election circus, it's a part of our daily lives. But what's great about that is there is a mountain of material to write about!"
Scandalous features two hours of rock 'n' roll and all original sketch comedy about everything from the secrets we keep to watching an elected official go down in flames of disgrace.
"It's our dirty little fun side," says Mak. "The one that reads the tabloids while we're waiting in line or tsk tsk's at the latest pop culture rumors. We really can't get enough, and it's about time we just sat back and laughed at it!"
Scandalous: (adj) Sinful, irreverent, shocking, wicked, outrageous. The new Shadowbox Live sketch comedy and rock 'n' roll show is truly Scandalous!
