Battlestar: Social Deduction Comedy Show

Battlestar is the unauthorized improv comedy parody of Battlestar Galactica (2004) and the cult-favorite board game it inspired—fully unscripted, totally unlicensed, and absolutely out of control. This show mashes up epic space opera with live social deduction gameplay, where the fate of humanity is decided by the audience.

Here’s how it works: the improv comedy superstars of Vienna’s American Improv Conservatory play a ragtag spaceship crew fleeing the deadly Cylon fleet. But there’s a twist—some of them are secretly Cylons, trying to sabotage the mission. Each act, the system breaks down in new and mysterious ways… unless the crew can stop it in time.

Sound familiar? If you’ve played Werewolves, Mafia, or The Resistance, you already know the thrill: Who’s lying? Who’s panicking? Who’s too quiet? The audience votes after every act, deciding who to lock up in the brig. If the disruption spreads and no one stops it, the mission may be lost. But if someone finds a way to contain the chaos… maybe there's hope. Every glitch, every gut feeling, every secret vote could change the fate of the ship.

With no script, no prep, and no mercy, every show is a brand-new space thriller—equal parts mystery, mayhem, and ridiculous sci-fi comedy. Think Battlestar Galactica meets Among Us, but live onstage, and way funnier.
