Billy and the BIT CREW players wish you the very merriest of Christmases, the happiest of Chanukahs, and a fantabulous and super-fun Holiday Season/New Year. As an homage to "holiday dinners." Billy insisted that we recreate that frenetic and sometimes awkward ritual with a special improv form called "Dinner Party." We even made a theme song. We hope you enjoy this special Christmas edition of Podcast Town. We are releasing a super, secret, double-dog-dared, New Year's bonus edition of DINNER PARTY at the stroke of Midnight on New Year's Eve. Listen to the full version of the song!...

BIT Improv Comedy Network | MAIN STAGE

Season Two Finale of rabbitHOLE - Live from OSLO! - A Random rabbitHOLE OMG OMG! The BIT Comedy Network's first LIVE show was at the Oslo Impro Fest on October 24th. We have been performing together under the BIT marquee for about two years, but we had never met or performed live as a troupe. Even with the wonky audio (it gets better after the introduction), we think you'll enjoy this RANDOM rabbitHOLE journey through rolling D20s, experimental medicine, the benefits of divorce and hot water, fruits with curative powers, and a costumed heist.

Wordnesia | Frogs | Math Teacher President Ever stared at a word until it stopped being a word? That’s where this week’s rabbit hole begins—when Hillary’s brain short‑circuits over the word speaker and takes a detour through psychology, frogs, and semantic satiation. 🐸💭 From there, the BIT crew spins a surreal chain of scenes featuring: Two frogs debating existence (and auditioning for a Budweiser commercial) A crappy math teacher turned football coach turned U.S. President Nine‑year‑old engineering prodigy designing roller coasters and performing surgery Captain ...

Podcast Town 17 | North Caldwell, NJ

BIT Improv Comedy Network | MAIN STAGE

North Caldwell, New Jersey - with Special Guest - Margot Escott Tiny town. Big secrets. One suspiciously spiritual traffic light. Birch beer, buried mafia lore, an abandoned sanitarium, and a Church of the Traffic Light that really leans into metaphysics — Margo Escott brings us back to North Caldwell, NJ, and Podcast Town builds a delightfully deranged local variety show around it.

BIT Improv Comedy Network | MAIN STAGE

Ever stared at a toothpaste tube and wondered if it could take you higher? In episode 18 of Rabbit Hole, Billy Merritt and the BIT Comedy players tumble from dental conspiracies and Norwegian stop-motion cartoons to hoarding hotel soaps, prank-calling Captain Crunch, and even a pirate gang in juvie. Along the way, fluoride turns into Flo Rida, the Soggies declare war, and toothpaste becomes the most questionable substance at the Cannabis Cup. It’s improv chaos at its finest: absurd connections, quick character swaps, and the kind of storytelling detours only this ensemble could conjure....

Beacon Hill, SATX — A Fiesta of Secrets

This month, Podcast Town heads to San Antonio's first suburb, Beacon Hill (population: 6,300ish), where things get weird, warm, and watchful. Director Billy Merritt turns the mic on producer/editor Hill Kane to uncover the truth behind:

The Blanco Strip
The mysterious obelisk traffic circle
Why the restaurants are never open
And the power of a good neighborhood block connector

Meanwhile, the town prepares for its beloved FIESTA celebration... but is something else going on beneath the papel picado?

💡 Featured shows from the Beacon Hill Podcast Network

🎧 The Obelisk Can Communicate Hosted by Kubrick-obsessed Thea Thea and local believer Peter Stevens, this show insists the Beacon Hill obelisk is transmitting messages—and the locals would be wise to obey.

👀 WE ARE WATCHING YOU Ronnie and Penelope are back, and yes, they saw that. Beacon Hill's unofficial (and very nosy) neighborhood watch is on the case, fueled by gossip, binoculars, and good intentions.

🍀 Super Superstition Jazzy and Jonathon Buttons return! Can Jazzy find her annual four-leaf clover in time to prevent disaster? Will Jonathon's unwavering optimism be enough?

🛍️ This episode is made possible by: Julia's French Bistro, Sam Houston's Siesta Shack, Hello Fresh, Ma's Home Cooking, So-Hill Cafe, Beacon Hill Public Library, Don's Rebel Cafe, The Good Luck Store, and the FIESTA Organizing Committee.
