BATSU!

March 27, 2027 at 9:00 pm – 10:30 pm PDT

Inspired by Japan’s infamous batsu game (罰ゲーム, “punishment game”), four fearless comedians face off in improv challenges where failure means hilarious punishment – from shocking surprises to paintball splatters -all with the audience deciding their fate. Hosted by Japanese TV star Brian “Bu-Chan” Walters, BATSU! blends the spectacle of Japanese variety shows with the unpredictability of American improv. If Whose Line is it Anyway? and Squid Game had a child, this would be it! Critics agree: • “This is truly our favorite thing we’ve ever seen, anywhere.” — Playbill • “Hilarious, strange and kind of sick!” — Thrillist • “Audiences roared with laughter.” — Chicago Sun-Times • “It’s ridiculous, hilarious, sexy, gross – really, it’s addictive.” — The Wee Review Content Advisory: BATSU! is not intended for young children. You must be 18 or older to attend this event. This experience contains flashing lights, haze, and simulated violence, including the use of a paintball gun. TWO PERFORMANCES ON MARCH 27: 6:00 PM AND 9:00 PM
