Sorry for the delay (assuming that there are those that missed us), but here is a brand new episode with Bob, Jason, Jesse, Jill, and Gavin. You’ll notice there is an “e” associated with this episode – ... Read More
In a VERY rare appearance, Bob’s wife, Jennifer, decides to talk for a bit on the podcast. And, of course, it’s on her favorite subject – Disneyland. But the real fun of this podcast is the grilling of the “Comedy Cops”. Laugh along with the actors as they create sketches out of silly stuff and questions from the audience. The ... Read More
A big group of actors and audience hung around for this episode. Bob is joined by Jason, Jake, Aleks, Talitha, and Gavin (making his first podcast).

Quick Wits performs every Saturday night in Midvale, Utah ... Read More
This podcast features a three-man team of Bob, Jason, and Jesse. To make up for less people, they all played a lot of characters – especially Jesse in a scene that has to be heard to be believed. There’s also a great little spelling test and a lot of giggling from the three actors. Quick Wits performs every Saturday night ... Read More
A Quick Wits podcast with Bob, Jesse, Blake, and Tennyson take on the world of Dating to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. And what a strange ride it is. Especially during a scene where Blake ends up dating the world’s tallest woman — and we mean, really tall. All in all a very fun show that had the cast laughing throughout. ... Read More
Great to have Jason Wild back with the podcasts! He helps Bob Bedore, Jon Fairbanks, and Lorin Bruns take a wild trip down memory lane that starts with Blockbuster Video and then goes on to as many late 80’s and Early 90’s references that they can cram into a “Get Out” style scene. And it all starts off with a ... Read More
The Quick Wits had their own version of the Olympics with a special version of their “Battle Royale” format. Nine countries battled it out and Bermuda took home the gold. Afterwards the actors sat down for a “semi” sports themed At Wits End and created a game called “FlameBall”. Bob, Jake, Aleks, Jon, and Chris not only created a game ... Read More
We didn’t start out to make this episode all about movies, but it just kept coming up. In fact, you’ll hear us try to get out of it. Blame it all on Lorin and his rant about the need for people to watch certain pop culture movies. Or blame it on Michael and his love for Tremors. Or, as you’ll ... Read More
Bob, Jason, Michael and Jesse opened up the second day of the Wasatch Improv Festival by recording an episode of At Wits End live!

A very funny episode as the guys do everything they can to make each other laugh — and hopefully you as well. Quick ... Read More
In the episode before Christmas the Wits had Santa on their minds. Maybe that’s why two of the stories feature the Jolly Elf, thought maybe not as you’ve seen him before. And we believe that the Naughty Nomicon needs to be featured in a movie at some point. There is also a scene about plastic army men going to war ... Read More
Let’s get right to the point, the second scene in this podcast might be one of the weirdest, and funniest, of the series so far (and that’s saying something). We don’t want to give away too much, but it has to do with kids watching a home made porn – just stick through to the end. Around this fun bit ... Read More
Ever wonder what might happen if they decided to do a Wham! reunion and recast George Michael? We didn’t either, but that didn’t stop us from doing a scene about it. The Wits also breakdown Ashton Kutcher’s career with a new Punk’d make over and paired Donald Trump and Marie Osmond for a new “Donald and Marie”. Yep… it’s a ... Read More
That last show in November from the Wits left them with a little bit of a Thanksgiving Hangover.

But none of that could get in the way of this Podcast featuring a crazed Stephen King trying to regain ... Read More
The Quick Wits had just finished their “Food Fight” show and it was pretty obvious that they were still in a strange food-related high. Things start off strange with a manhood ritual involving Rocky Mountain “Oysters” before moving on a the legend of “Clammy Hands” (a soldier who had his hands shot off in the war and replaced with clams). ...

Okay, listener, we need some of your suggestions for this episode. Give us a topic that Baconsale could talk about…. improv comedy? Okay. Now, give us a guest that we could bring on the show that would add some authority to that subject….. the founder of Quick Wits? Perfect! Today we're talking with the Bob Bedore about his experiences as a professional comedian, what it takes to be a comic and how comedy has affected his writing and his daily life. Then he has Kent and Jacob play some improv games for the first time. What are you waiting for? Say yes and press the play button!
We’ve talked about the ghost of our theater before, but now it was time to put it to the test. After the Quick Wits Halloween Spooktacular show we took the podcast (and some brave audience members) and a Ouija board to the basement to try and get in touch with the spirits. True to normal Quick Wits dealings, this only ... Read More
For this show we decided to record right in the middle of a typical Quick Wits show. It was a blast to have such a great audience to try this with and it really help the energy.

Really not sure how to describe this episode other than to say that we never really know where scenes are going to go and we’re even less sure of how they got there. Sometimes we just have to shake our heads – and laugh. We want you to know that we really do love the Special Olympics. You’ll know what ... Read More
This episode didn’t start out to be a little collection of the Wits talking about stupid things they’ve done int he past, but you’ll be glad that it ended up going that way!

The 38th episode of At Wits End sees the birth of “The Sling Brothers” and we’re not quite sure if that’s a good thing or not. These Nude Hype Men seem to be all over the place in this episode so beware! And speaking of “beware”, the theater ghost makes its presence known during the episode. See if you can ... Read More
The title pretty much tells you that this is going to be another very off the wall episode. After a Quick Wits show that had them drawing two random games from a hat and having to create a new game on the spot, the actor were obviously in an experimental mood. Bob Bedore, Jourdan Dixon, Jesse Markus, and Sean Sweeney ... Read More
In one of the strangest occurrences to happen during a recording of At Wits End, Jason Wild’s nose started to bleed. But that wasn’t enough to stop him from continuing on with the podcast, far from it. In fact, it became a part of the show. Jason, along with Bob Bedore and Michael Heycock, brought out the Kleenex and marched ... Read More

The week this was recorded was a tough one for the Wits. One of our own, Lauren Elyse Bradley, passed away suddenly and we were all in shock. But what do a bunch of comedians do in tough times?

Starting with the worst Uber ride you can imagine, they went off into a Monster’s Anonymous meeting and finally into a nightmarish charity gig for performers. And Bob will tease you talking ... Read More
At Wits End somehow managed to create their own Horror Movie with “Ribbon Randy”. Not really sure how it all came to be, but we think that the world is finally ready for a Rhythmic Gymnast/Serial Killer. At least we hope the world is ready for it. This episode follows our “Totally Awesome 80’s Show” and features Bob, Jason, Blake, ... Read More
Episode 30 is a grab bag of craziness! Amazingly enough the first scene about creating a Horse Centipede was the tamest of the bunch. From there the cast wonders about the real power behind the Muppet Show and a rebranding of the KKK. It’s a fun show that took place after the Quick Wits “Musical Extravaganza Show”. Regulars Bob, Jason, ... Read More
This episode follows the “Freak Show” as part of Quick Wits “Summer of Fun” and it shows in the bizarre nature of this podcast.

This episode came on the heals of our “Macho Show” for Father’s Day and it’s really hard to explain how crazy this one got. But it is completely full of all the things you love about these shows.

In this episode Quick Wits opens up the show to other improvisors in Utah. Before this show QW presented a new shows called “Pop Up Arcade”.

After last weeks bizarre show the Wits wanted to show our fans that We Love Them! That brought about an even stranger show, but man does it have some funny moments.

Every once in a while a podcast has to go off the rails and there is just no saving it. This is that show. Is it funny? Yes! Is it something we wondered if we should put out there? Also Yes! Just know that none of us know exactly how we got to where these sketches ended up, but we ... Read More
Another episode where Australia comes to our rescue! In this case Jason Wild’s flawless Aussie accent brings us Marsupial Mack, a hunter brought in to bring down a killer opossum.

It’s all in another crazy At Wits ... Read More
Some how, without knowing it, the Wits decided to challenge themselves by making each scene progressively stranger.

But a scene about a man starting a barbershop quartet ... Read More
It’s the show right before Easter and the Wits talk about the origin Deviled Eggs (pretty much what you think), sink to the depths of fart jokes, and watch as Donald Trump works to make SciFi great again.

In a bit of meta-improv, the team wonders what an improv show would be like if it was nothing but emcee work. This soon gives way to a bizarre look at Bob’s home life.
