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.
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.
In round one, the contestants do a roleplay with a scene given to them by the selected "ComeDirector" of the week. The two groups have a different set of scenes and props that will help them make their roleplay more pretentious.
In round two, the contestants should give most of their efforts to make their performance even more pretentious. They can still differ about the scene. They won't have props and there's a guest performer known as the "ContraDiva" or "ContraBibo".
In round three, the last and most difficult. Firstly, they will use same scenes and props. 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 10,000 Philippine pesos. The Grand Winner will get 75,000 Philippine pesos in cash and a "L.C.A. trophy". For a defending champion, when their team won for three consecutive times, they would get a star that would be placed in the "Wall of Fame".
