Rolled Table: Improvised D&D Comedy
Saturday March 28, 2026 11:00am - 1:00pm PDT
North 153
The cast of the Knights of the Rolled Table podcast performs a completely improvised comedy D&D adventure in which audience members shape the story, make key decisions, and influence the fate of the heroes. Expect fast-paced fantasy, ridiculous characters, terrible puns, and spontaneous chaos from a cast with deep roots in the San Diego improv scene. Family-friendly and designed for adventurers of all ages—no two shows are ever the same. Carlos Guzman-Verdugo, Jeff Frank, Jen Stopper-Crespo, Matt Messerman, Zach Stones, and Chris Daily (Dungeon Master, Dungeonheads) bring the adventure to life.
