The Pretty Flower
2000s-present · Spokane, WA (origin) / Nationwide

A grounded monoscene at the center with fast cut-away petals — flashbacks, cutaways, commercial-style riffs — that return to the central scene.
Known for
- Named Pretty Flower because its structure resembles petals extending from a central scene.
- Also called Spokane (named for the city where it emerged) or The Family Guy (for Family Guy's cutaway gag rhythm).
- Central grounded monoscene is interrupted by any performer riffing off a concept — a flashback, character game, fake commercial, reference — then returns to the central scene.
- Sits between Monoscene and Montage: stability of one scene plus the comedic breadth of many.
