Carried Away presents: Multiversal Madness

What if every decision you made split the universe in two? What if you could see how each choice, no matter how small, unraveled across multiple fractured realities? Enter Multiversal Madness, an improvised comedy show where one simple moment sends us hurtling across parallel universes, each wilder than the last.
