Created by Chicago comedian and Second City faculty Angie McMahon (featured guest on Netfilx’s Nailed It!), Wisecrackin’ pits comedians in head-to-head competition to see who can come up with the best punchlines to set ups they are seeing for the first time. Written all by McMahon and her writers’ room.

Other participating comedians and the audience vote on which punchline is best each round and crown a winner. All while playing audience challenges throughout the night. An interactive experience never before seen in the world of Comedy.
