APSU students will rock the dance floor.
"BONK" Game Show
Hilarious - Interactive - Customizable America's New LIVE Comedy Show
What do you get when you cross the fun and excitement of a live action TV Game Show, the challenge of a general knowledge test, and the craziness of a Three Stooges movie? It's BONK! - The Comedy Game Show based on the immutable certainty that while getting hit over the head isn't funny, watching other people get hit over the head is.

BONK is a visually stimulating, fast-paced, innovative game show on the cutting edge of entertainment. The fully computerized set and professional host will keep your audience rolling in the aisles.

Think of BONK as a comedy show, where a game is being played. This show is just as much fun to watch as it is to play! Unlike most game shows - this show isn't all about the money (though we give lots of that away too!), it's all about the FUNNY!

APSU students will rock the dance floor.
