The Fake Housewives of Milwaukee
Get ready to shout BRAVO! Follow the drama, jealously, self-promotion, and DRAMA as the Fake Housewives start up a new franchise in a new location every show. You suggest it, we housewife it. Just like Pitbull, we’re worldwide-but with more narcissism. What city do you want us to botch next?
Forecast
Unpredictable, just like the weather. Enjoy a flurry of scenes that set up the atmospheric conditions for a perfect storm of improv. It will be raining goofs and laughs as Andrew, Betsy, Jesse, and Rachel take the stage to perform duo-prov in random pairings.
