Yes, they do ask for a lot of participation from the audience. But don’t worry, no one was put on the spot and all participation was voluntary! Show was hilarious, I especially loved the bit where they took one audience member, interviewed her, then put on a performance of a day in her life. It was so funny, and the crowd was busting up laughing. It was a nice late night activity to do while we visited the city from out of town. Be warned: unless you want a bar, the restaurant options after the 8 pm Thursday show are incredibly limited! I have no idea why most restaurants are closing so early around the north end, because there were so many people packed on the streets. My suggestion is to eat beforehand or do your research ahead of time to eat afterwards.

This small yet charming venue offers a great option for a night of casual entertainment. The bar in the waiting area serves a variety of beers and inventive cocktails, setting the tone for a relaxed evening. As for the improv show, it features a series of sketches—some more successful than others, which is to be expected in the world of improv. Still, the overall experience is lighthearted and enjoyable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. It’s a fun place to visit if you’re looking to shake up your routine with something a little different. However, be mindful of the stairs if you have mobility concerns.

Great performance and funny skits, it’s crowd dependent at times. Assigned seating but it’s small enough that you can see it well enough anywhere. They serve drinks and have a raunchier side later in the night on weekends. It’s not my type of comedy but def an experience to try out
