Overview

A 60-minute improvisational comedy game show where performances are unscripted, unrehearsed, and spontaneous. Two groups of three celebrities or comedians will compete in three rounds as they tackle various improvisational scenarios. A guest is also invited to perform with the competing groups. [1]

Gameplay

In the game proper, two sets of groups with three contestants will compete. They will play an unscripted, unrehearsed, and spontaneous comedic role play with different scenes given by various ComeDirectors each week. At the end of the show, the MapanghusGang will give comments regarding to their performance and will decide who will be the winner of the week. [2]

In round one, They will do a funny roleplay with a scene given to them by the selected ComeDirector of the week. The two groups will have a different set of scenes and props that will help them make their roleplay more pretentious.

In round two, They should give most of their efforts to make their performance even more pretentious. They still differ about the scene but they won't have props and will now had a special guest performer also known as the ContraDiva or ContraBibo.

In round 3, since the last, the fight would be more thrilling! They have to give their very best because first and foremost, they will use same scenes and props. But the other group would be in the isolation room so that they couldn't spy the other group's performance.

The best performer will get Php 10,000 while the Grand Winner will get Php 75,000 in cash, and a L.C.A. trophy. Another milestone for a defending champion is that when their team won continuing three times, they would have a star that would be placed in the Wall of Fame.
