an Improvised Gabfest

HA! News!

The LOST EPISODES Season!

While Trellis & Horatio are…serving out their punishment in the storage room of Millways the interns have been scrounging together episodes from recording that were hidden away after Hortaio’s sauce covered fingers saved them to a recently discovered folder.

Want to see Hitchhikers & Appetizers LIVE? Head on over to the HA! Live! page for news and dates.

Show summary

Hitchhikers & Appetizers is set in, and expands on, the world of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The show is created by Mike Gorgone and Bran Peacock and is part of the Improv in Action Network.

Join Trellis Gardeen and Horatio Zinn in their quest to keep eating and drinking for free at Millyways by interviewing the various beings dining there for their Guide entries. Trellis discovered an error in the Guide’s reimbursement submission system and as long as a receipt is submitted with a Guide entry the reimbursement is automatically approved!

So it’s life in the buffet-lane as long as they can keep talking diners into joining them in booth 42.
