(We won’t make you smell anything unpleasant during this production. In fact, the only thing we’ll ask you to smell are roses.)

Hey Riddle Riddle - Live Podcast

Riddles! Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brain-teaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry: this podcast is barely about them!
