You’ve heard of Wheel of Fortune, The Price Is Right and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. All beloved game shows based on one principal: having a lot of money and stuff is great and makes your life better. But none of these televised cash grabs really get at the heart of what makes our society tick. So we at The Midnight Gardeners League, the world’s only comedy secret society that’s entirely open to the public, decided to create a live comedy competition that truly articulates the crushing struggle at the heart of American culture to snatch whatever you can.

It’s “Capitalism: The Game Show!” Along with their normal sets, stand-up comedians will be forced to put their money where their mouths are, facing a series of improv games based on every stage of Western civilization. From bartering with the audience for whatever’s in their pockets like medieval peasants or riffing an explanation for why child labor during the Industrial Revolution was totally cool, this game covers it all!
