Patch Notes: The improv show for nerds

Welcome to Patch Notes, the improvised show for anyone who’s ever argued about the minutiae of magic systems, who owns more dice than pairs of socks, or thinks all stories would be better with the addition of time-travelling aliens. Is that you? This is your kinda show!

Each show, we bring you a rotating cast of nerdy improvisers diving headfirst into sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, comic books, and every fandom in between. Each show will contain two acts, with the second being focused on a special theme or format.

For June 2026, we're going all in on isekai

You may ask, what is exactly is isekai? It's a genre where an ordinary person is suddenly transported to a strange new realm, often from falling into a hole, opening a door, or being summoned. These worlds are often high-fantasy in setting and follow videogame-like rules. Broadly speaking, imagine if Alice fell into a game of Final Fantasy.

With your help, we'll build our hero and craft their adventure, foes, and friends together. What are the rules of this world? What is the quest we will be sent on? Help us find out!

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
