The cast was energetic and animated. (Some characters were hysterical.)
The premise of this episode "Office Prison Break" was kinda wack, but def enjoyed the show!
Worth checking out!

Fun show and very fun concept. If next week's production is as funny as the one I saw (they change every weekend) then you will not be disappointed.
