MADCAPPED MYSTERIES is the most original murder mystery show of all time because it’s created on the spot by you and your guests. Our professional Detective and Improv comedian leads the storytelling, and by the end of the night everyone is a character – witness, suspect, friend and family and the crime and it’s solution are completely original. It’s like being in a crime drama movie.
The show runs about 75 minutes. We also have a 45 minute version for special functions, or we can stretch over 2 hours for cocktail parties.
Madcapped Mysteries is perfect for any corporate team building event. We can host at the office or your venue of choice. In so many ways this is an improv workshop in disguise. But if you don’t tell, I won’t. This show is a community builder. But also, it’s an exercise in story telling, public speaking, collaboration, divergent thinking, and convergent thinking.
Madcapped is a huge hit friends & family gathering (birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, bachelor and Bachelorette parties etc). We can host at your home/apartment or any venue.
Teens LOVE this show. (sweet 16, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, quinceañera, graduations, teens nights at community centers, closing night parties for the high school play/musical. Our players are professional al actors, many with TV credits.
We also a version for kids and families, where the crime is a theft. Tons of fun for blue & gold dinners, scout meetings, after school programming. The show is basically an education in story telling. At first kids are a tad confused. Once they figure out the “game” they come alive. Their imaginations lead to the most glorious of stories.
ACT I: The Crime Scene
The show starts like a mad libs book, or the popular improv game, call ’em’s. Our professional comedian, and decorated murder mystery detective, leads the crowd to establish a crime. As in an improv show, we create the WHO WHERE WHAT of a crime scene. We might even meet the coroner and other members of the investigative team (audience guests).
ACT II: Who’s Who
Over the the course of the next 20-30 minutes, many, if not all of your guests become characters in the story, one by one created organically thru the interactions of the MC and guests. We meet various public servants, from the Mayor to the coroner to the District Attorney as well as the Victim’s friends, family and coworkers.
ACT III: Interogations
Eventually a handful of characters are named as suspects, while everyone else becomes a deputy, teaming up to interogate these dubious characters and solve the crime.
ACT IV: Solve The Case
Everyone takes a moment to fill oit our answer sheets, setting down to paper who they think did the dastardly deed, how, where and why. For larger events, this occurs in teams. For smaller events usually it’s everyone for them selves, or perhaps couples pair off, etc.
ACT V: Final Reveals
Every murder show ends with the final reveals. But Madcapped Mysteries is bybfar the most fun. The detective will MELODRAMATICALLY read many, or all of the solutions. We end the show awarding a few prizes to the most beloved solutions and even a best actor award.
