Having used Skype for work, I know that technical difficulties abound. So, I was very curious to see how this would work out for improv comedy. It went as expected. The San Francisco cast seems to be a little more trained for improv than the LA cast, but it was still enjoyable. Sound issues were numerous, but were incorporated into the skits well. I would definitely go again with a larger crowd.

interesting concept and if you like the conan on brien TV celebrity guest type bits or who'se line is it anyway you will enjoy this. There were some technical issues, they *are* using skype... but i thought the concept was really good and the improv was decent with a few standouts, and lots of fake news type skits which as a Daly Show fan I eat up. If you can''t enjoy a laugh at a comedy show something is wrong with you!

Quotes & Highlights

  • "Quirky," "Really funny" with "sparks of brilliance" and "an intriguing idea with loads of potential." - LA Weekly

Description

In the first half of the show, audience members are treated as producers and writers and asked for suggestions to shape the shows they'll see that night. Once everyone is accustomed to the techno improv format, the cast takes the show to the next level with long-form improv and more audience involvement on and off stage as both cities jam online.
