The Town Show

From the creators of Let’s Make a Sci-Fi and This Sounds Serious comes The Town Show – where comedians Mark Chavez and Ryan Beil set out to build a fictional town. Each week, a guest comedian helps pitch new residents, landmarks, history, and events that shape the town. Together, they craft a world from scratch, one episode at a time. Building a town… how hard could it be?
