A new Christmas-themed comedy show from Improv Cincinnati’s musical improv team, Hot Mic, is showing at the Clifton Comedy Theatre this December. Law & Order: Santa Victims Unit will put an investigative spin on the holiday season.

“In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally festive groups: the police, who investigate cookie crimes, and the elves, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.” (Dun, dun)

Hot Mic says the show follows the “Musical Crimes Unit,” which was called in to investigate after the nation’s top holiday treat, Santa’s Special Spearmint Santadoodles, began to put people into magical comas. Law & Order: Santa Victims Unit will feature musical numbers, plenty of holiday spirit and a dash of chaos. 

“It’s everything we love about Law & Order, but a musical and holiday-themed. So it’s three times the fun!” director Tatina Godfrey said in a press release. 

The show opens Friday, Dec. 12 and runs every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. throughout December. Tickets are $15.45 and can be purchased here.
