The Wild Improv Challenge gives improvisers a wild, random, and improvised challenge from Dennis Spielman. The series showcases the growing improv scene in Oklahoma City, thanks strongly in part to OKC Improv.

Thanks to Philip Dow for the show’s title and end music, and thanks all of the improvisers and guests for participating in the show.

Be on the look for season two to debut in 2013.
