Uncalled Four hosted by Zac Maas
The most offensive comedy game show in America. Half stand-up, half game show: Uncalled Four is an interactive crowd experience loosely based but in no way affiliated with the #1 card game in America. Comedians write a deck of 20 terrible/hilarious answers to audience questions like “What does Trump’s hair smell like?” or “Dad went out to buy _____ and never came back.” Comedians each submit a card, audience members pick the winners and WIN prizes in each round. In the final “Degenerate Gambler” round, comics wager points to see who will be Denver's Worst Person! Uncalled Four has made appearances at festivals across the country. Competing 6/24: Aaron Urist, Stephanie McHugh, Brandt Tobler, and Zach Reinert August 19 is the Championship Game! After four rounds it is time for the Uncalled Four Championship game. Competing in this game are the winners of the last four games (Sam Tallent, Nathan Lund and two others TBD). ABOUT YOUR HOST ZAC MAAS: Zac Maas hails from Denver, Colorado by way of South Dakota.
