I've been to watch improv at the Made Up Theatre on three different events, and each was a lot of fun. Think 'Who's Line is It" for regular improv which is Friday, an amazing complete, improvised play on Saturday and then a New Year's Eve special show which really started our year right. At first the audience was older, probably because former ticket holders from Broadway theatre were given complimentary tickets but now the crowd is a broad mix, with a lot of couples and small groups. They take input from the audience, and no matter what is suggested, they come up with hilarious spins and amazing little twists. It's different performers each time, so you don't feel like you're seeing the same show and it is incredibly affordable at $20 bucks a ticket with a discount for newbies. I took a crowd of twenty-somethings, my own pals (late fifties) and even my dad who's getting up there. Everyone had a great time and plans to go back. This is one of the easiest, fun evenings in Fremont,...
Read moreWhat a wonderful evening of entertainment!! Brilliant play and flawless performances at the Made Up Theatre. We saw "Gruesome Playground Injuries" last night and were stunned by the performances of Bobby August, Jr. and Maria Candelaria. When a movie or a play is based on a relationship, there is a magic that is needed for the play to be successful. Bobby and Maria had that magic last night. Their enjoyment and affection for each other was palpable. The choreography and physical management of the stage was energetic and well done, easily absorbed as part of the play itself -the actors changing clothes in front of us just as we are all always changing over the years. There are only two performances left, so I don't know if there are even tickets left, but just try, you won't be sorry. Otherwise, Made Up Theatre is one of our favorite places to go for improv comedy on a regular basis. The comedians are funny and talented. You...
Read moreBy far the absolute best Improv venue in the greater San Francisco area. Cozy theatre, versatile stage, adequate free parking, tickets very reasonably priced. The owners are passionate about their craft, performing on stage & teaching courses as well. Private parties & fundraisers are also available. Love the "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" type games involving audience participation. "The Wheel of Genre" on Saturday night is a 45 minute, completely improvised "movie" based on a category (romance, sci fi, horror, Western, etc) chosen at random. Entertainment at its best performed by talented actors who clearly love what they're doing. I've brought friends & family to Made Up Theatre and they're never disappointed. Cannot give enough positive feedback on this place. Far more impressive than other Improv venues, and I've ...
