Trading Spouses +I Guess You're Wondering How We Got Here | Blockbuster 2026About this Event
Trading Spouses: Improvised!
Meet your new mommy
Do you ever wish your family could've been on an episode of early 2000s chaotic reality television shows "Trading Spouses" or "Wife Swap"? Well your wish could come true at TRADING SPOUSES: IMPROVISED! Our cast will interview two audience members about their families, and then improvise an episode of the classic wacky show, where two very different families trade one parent and then attempt to adjust to each other's opposing lifestyles.
Cast: Tiyawnda, Emily Richardson, Tom Hearn, Brody Wilkinson-Martin, Antony Hall, Tyra Banda, Nicky Nasrallah
I guess you're wondering how we got here
Presented by Sex T-Rex.
We open on a catastrophic event/intriguing tableau: A body floats in a swimming pool at high school graduation. A cheerleader with an uzi takes cover from dragon's breath. The Dean learns that he's the biological son of a hurricane. Before the action continues- *record scratch, freeze frame, lower sunglasses* "You're probably wondering how we got here". Join Sex T-Rex at the start of an ordinary day that grows increasingly absurd/80s/actionified in a journey to justify an absolutely wild opener. Get ready to strap in for a high action-physical-raucous-dumb time!
Cast: Conor Bradbury, Julian Frid, Lowen Morrow, Seann Murray and Sharjil Rasool
