The show has meaningful, hilarious story parts. It is obvious that the actors/actresses are really into their roles. Many of them are good. Overall, I enjoyed it. However, I would not see the show again.
Great venue, entertainment I thought was second tier
An easy and quite educated comedy suitable for all tastes
The second act was better….talented cast, lots of audience participation besides the improvisation. Very reticent bringing up current newsworthy topics. It was entertaining but was better when I saw it several years ago.
Enjoyable entertainment, good chuckles here and there. Good value for a two hour show.
Very disappointed! The improvisations were terrible. Not clever! Our first time seeing them was several years ago and they were good. Not this group!!
This show was hard to do with the nearly dead and no. Creative audience!! The second city actors were great with what they had but when requesting the audience things fell flat!! The sound system problems encountered during the show from the beginning were very amateurish and disappointing. Could have been better!!!
What a blast! We laughed so hard our stomachs hurt.
Great experience, we loved it! Sometimes amusing, sometimes just a chuckle and sometimes hilarious. A lot of talent on stage with each and every skit or improv performance. We smiled or laughed during the entire show.
Honestly, I didn’t laugh once. About 1/4 of the audience left at intermission. Not sure if it was just an off night, or what! ???♀?
