Featured review from Wanda
view more less of this reviewI haven't laughed so loud in a LONG time! The 4 improv actors took suggestions or words from the audience and ran with it, improvizing with one another. They remembered every detail of an activity one of the audience members told them about - and built on it. We were in stitches. The only thing I would suggest is having the waiter bring both of the drinks (2-drink minimum) at the same time since he didn't show up again until the show was almost over.
star this review starred report as inappropriateAt first...I was turned off by how small and dank the venue was! We thought we were going to have to drink a LOT of booze to have fun, which wasn't a problem, since there's a VERY strict 2 drink minimum. Expect to pay about $8 a drink, plus tip (Makes the $7.50 ticket actually a $27.50 ticket). It was a really good time though, the actors are great and were definitely funny. Go there to participate or you won't have fun! Not sure I'd pay that much to go again....but we had fun!
The waitress though...was awful! She was really rude and cranky. Be prepared to not get any questions answered without angry sarcasm. I had the Sake-colada - tasted a bit like tanning lotion and didn't get me drunk at all.
star this review starred report as inappropriateMaybe the actors had a bad night, but we found we didn't laugh nearly as much as we thought we would. Also, I think the venue only had one waitress for about 75 people in the audience. We were at an 8pm show and by the time the waitress took our order it didn't leave much time at all for us to down our 2 drink minimum and eat our cheesecake.
