You never know -- every week, it's an all-new comedy experience.

Sorry, I mistakenly used the wrong link to rate this show. I would have rated it lower had I gotten the link correct. Perhaps it was a so-so night for the Groundlings. But this in not something I would attend again.Written on Jun 26 2006

We weren't sure what to expect, but it had some very memorable moments and we laughed a lot. The format was a sketch or two, with improv bits in between them. A nice mix.Written on Sep 11 2007
The theatre was very small and intimate - we were in the 2nd row from the back and still felt plenty close.
We enjoyed the little 3 piece band they had too. They would play music while they set the stage for the next bit. They sounded quite good.
We will probably go back to see the early show now. Its a good deal for the money :)

Improv Comedy that did not disapoint. The performers were creative and responsive to everything the audience and the director threw at them.Written on Feb 26 2007
