Great cast, well written - A+ as always Team Groundlings. Thanks to Goldstar for providing discounted tickets. In previous visits the theater team would line you up outside on the sidewalk - I'm so glad that they now bring you in to the lobby to wait out the 15 minutes or so advance time.Written on May 31 2011

The cast for this show was very professional and entertaining. Provided lots of laughs in both written sketches and improv games. My boyfriend and I have been to UCB, Second City, and now the Groundlings and I have to say that although the laughs are more plentiful at the UCB main show, the talent of the Groundlings cast really shines through with their memorable sketches.Written on Jun 20 2011

I find it's either "hit or miss" with the Groundlings Main Sketch shows. LOVED River Adventure and After School Groundling, didn't care for Singles Cruise or Groundlings State Penitentiary. I particularly wanted to go to this one because I'm a fan of Jim Rash's (he's one of the improv members and was directing this one this time), but I found that I only laughed a handful of times and kept hoping it would get a little better. It overall felt like many of the sketches went on for too long and a couple times I would look down at my watch to see what time it was :\ I still and will always recommend the Groundlings to friends over time, but this particular show I just wasn't wild about. I hope Jim Rash continues to be in the sketches though because he always makes me laugh!Written on Jun 11 2011
