I really enjoyed this event, and I plan to go back. One of the women in the group Cue the Frog was actually in the episode of 30 Rock where Alec Baldwin's character makes Tracy go to therapy to deal with his issues with his father. She was the therapist. All of the groups were pretty funny. I would recommend everyone check it out.

For a free ticket on Goldstar I thought it was pretty good, but if I had paid more for it I might've been disappointed. First, it was confusing when we first walked in because by the time the house let us in the show had already started and the nature of the skit was one where you felt like you had to see it from the beginning to really understand and get into it. Then the type of improv they were doing (some sort of "tag" improv) was a bit confusing to me and hard to follow at times. Also, the show itself was pretty short. I was expecting a few more acts with a different type of improv to change it up a bit.

The venue has a bar and it's definitely a happening scene - Saturday night in the middle of Hollywood after all - so overall it was a fun night given the atmosphere.

We had a good time. Small theatre, valet parking was convenient and cheap.

I attended The Lampshades show and thought that it was funny but my sister and two friends did not agree. I guess it is a hit-or-miss kind of comedy routine. I thought Kate Flannery and Whorey were a great comic duo and I have never seen anything like it. The tickets we got were good for the shows after The Lampshades so we decided to stay and saw two amateur improv groups. These two groups were not that funny. I was kind of sorry that I stayed.

Description

Friday nights at 10:00pm: Orpheus Roy and Old Milwaukee
Two incredible teams join forces on the mainstage and leave audiences roaring with laughter. Orpheus Roy is an irreverent, wry, and playful improv team with veteran improvisers from different improv backgrounds, including iOWest, Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Second City and The Groundlings. Despite the different styles of improv Orpheus Roy still has one thing in common … Funnyness. Old Milwaukee is six guys from Milwaukee that used to do improv together there, and are now doing improv together here, so that when one of them says “Kinnickinnic Ave has a lot of bars” at least one other person in the room might say “I recognize the street that you are referring to.”
