It was just another day - until an audience dropped a mystery in Frank Chocula's lap. What seemed a simple case turned into a complex plot involving the seedy world of crime and intrigue. Who will Frank meet - and what perils lie in store? Even we won't know until the audience tells us. Don't miss this fan-favorite hilariously gritty film noir improv show!

Check out our FEATURED CLIP!!

From the ETC Vault: In The First Annual ETC Clip Show, the audience was shown 5 clips of ideas for
full-length shows and asked to select which one they wanted to see in our second season. In this clip,
Frank Chocula (Christopher Davis) meets Coco Pebbles (Callie Mauldin) - a dame with a problem.
This clip won in the audience poll and became a full-length show back in March, 2010.
Hosted by Douglas O'Neil, Jr. at Birmingham Festival Theatre - July 24, 2009.
