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 by slipping a secret password into their scenes. Each act, they get another chance to signal the enemy... unless the humans figure it out first.
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 Cylons complete their sabotage and one stays free, humanity is doomed. If the humans jail them in time, the fleet survives. Every password spoken, every twitch of suspicion, every vote could change everything.
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.
