Richmond’s only live late night talk show, RVA Tonight, which is presented by the Coalition Theater, brought to light the humor in all the hubbub and clamouring the city has been in over the upcoming UCI World Road Bike Championships, which gears up Sept. 19.

The late night talk show regularly features all you’d want and more from a late night show including a monologue, interviews, commercials, great music and of course a fabulous announcer, Beau Cribbs who hosts the monthly show.

The group created a video “Chaos in the Capital : 2015 UCI World Road Bike Championships” a spoof on the race filled with over-the-top bike spills, explosions, people running in the streets in “chaos” circus bears and a few other animals riding bikes around and of course, a stereotypical “monster truck-like” announcer doing the voice over for the video. It even sneaks in a clip of a blubbering baby, because Richmond just can’t handle the magnitude of this epic race coming to town. We might all literally lose our minds. I know I already have. But that was some time ago. Anywho, bottom line, it’s fucking hilarious so you should watch it.

Check out the video below.
