How to use dungeon in a sentence?

  1. Julia Fox:

    There's a few in Manhattan and other parts of New York as well and it's legal. You go downstairs, it's a basement, there'd be all these different rooms.

When people say how did you get your start in acting it's really like the dungeon because I would have to improv multiple times a day on very short notice.
