I had no idea what I was walking into. And I'm still not really sure quite how to describe it. It is a kind of improv that takes place all on treadmills. It relies on audience participation from the whole theater, not just the front seats. There's lots of people running up and down the aisles, going on stage and such. It's like Taskmasters but in real life. So there's four "players" who rotate on four stations in four 12-minutes rounds. At one station they are cooking a three-course meal while on a treadmill. At another station they are writing an arts grant application while on a treadmill. At another station they do random performances (song, Hamlet, origami, stripping, etc) while on a treadmill. And at the last station they have to complete a series of tasks with the audience. The random tasks is probably the best part. Meanwhile they have a collective mileage goal. Oh and the host is selling merch and serving blue Gatorade. It's all pure fun chaos, those crazy Aussies. You do have to be in a mood to want to participate. But I was happy to laugh along.
