Dropout's Improv Comedy Show 'Make Some Noise' Announces Star-Studded Season 5 Lineup
Dropout's acclaimed improv comedy show, 'Make Some Noise', is poised to premiere its fifth season in the coming month, bringing with it a vibrant ensemble of both returning fan favorites and exciting new talents. This season follows closely on the heels of the conclusion of 'Game Changer' Season 8, continuing the creative and often chaotic spirit synonymous with Sam Reich's productions. Anticipation is particularly high for the return of Vic Michaelis, host of 'Very Important People', who will rejoin the cast after a brief hiatus.
Vic Michaelis, whose absence in the previous season was notable, is confirmed to appear in at least two episodes of the upcoming season. They will be sharing the stage with fellow comedians Kimia Behpoornia and Ally Beardsley in one installment, and with Jiavani and Jeremy Culhane in another. Viewers can expect Michaelis to infuse their segments with their characteristic unpredictability and perhaps even some playful torment for host Sam Reich, a running gag beloved by the show's audience.
'Make Some Noise' draws frequent comparisons to the iconic improv program 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?', a favorite among millennials. The format involves performers tackling spontaneous prompts and challenges, which they encounter for the first time on stage, leading to uproarious and often unpredictable comedic outcomes. This dynamic setup is a cornerstone of the show's appeal, promising fresh and unscripted entertainment each episode.
The fifth season will also see Pete Holmes making a comeback, ready to resume his comedic jabs at Reich. Additionally, Demi Adejuyigbe, Kurt Maloney, and Elaine Carroll are slated to take on guest hosting duties for various episodes, adding diverse comedic styles to the mix. The show's roster is further bolstered by a host of Dropout regulars, including Lisa Gilroy, Paul F. Tompkins, Jacob Wysocki, Anna Garcia, Lou Wilson, and Siobhan Thompson, ensuring a rich tapestry of comedic talent.
Adding to the excitement, Ben Schwartz, renowned as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, is set to make his third consecutive season appearance. The beloved 'Noise Boys' — Brennan Lee Mulligan, Zac Oyama, and Josh Ruben — are also confirmed to feature in at least one episode together, underscoring their integral role in the series' identity. As with most Dropout productions, new episodes of 'Make Some Noise' will be released bi-weekly, with the 15-episode fifth season kicking off on Monday, October 5th.
The upcoming season of 'Make Some Noise' continues Dropout's tradition of delivering high-quality, spontaneous comedy. With a blend of seasoned improvisers and popular personalities, the show is set to maintain its unique charm and appeal, offering viewers a consistent dose of laughter and creative wit through its structured yet unpredictable format.
