Show XLIV

Show XLIV of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, February 9, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Samantha Stark, Sam's first time directing.

This show featured the third and simplest (so far) mini-musical, *The Topnotch Tangler* "The Devil's Trirngle," with three songs performed by Katie Boissoneault and Anna Leeper. About half of the music was rapped, while half was sung.

*Packer & Ratcliff* furthered the mythology for the show as a whole as they traveled to Pymer Labs in their home dimension and revealed that the organization actually operates in multiple dimensions at once, and has for years. As such, Kam from *The Topnotch Tangler* dimension now heads the whole company. It was also revealed that Georgie of *Georgie's Jabs* is a Pymer employee who runs her talk show out of the lab.

*Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* also began its third volume this month, with a year time jump.

The opening act was Full Frontal Nudity, MadLab's in-house improv troupe, doing a shortened version of their popular Date Night show where they act out a relationship. They did so for Kim and Carl instead of a real-life couple, their usual act.

A trailer was released for this show.
