Synchro-niss With Me
Hosted by: Shannan Hunt, Amanda Lynn Deal, Jono G, Shain Brenden
We take comics, and with the help of Synchronicity, go on a group adventure in downtown Portland using a pre-determined number, and oversized foam dice as our guides. Along the way we have to do crazy actions that are determined by a random card pull like “Commit a random act of kindness”, or “Tell a stranger a joke”- and YOU (our audience) get to see all of this from the comfort of Kelly's Olympian because of the magic of technology (livestream)! Pre walk-stand up show and post walk performer panel ties everything together. Every show is wackier and wilder than the next! It’s like a mystical Billy On The Street.
