There was one point where I thought I was going to lose consiousness due to laughing so hard! Great venue no matter where you sit. I'll definitly do the IMPROV again!
John Heffron is hilarious! The show itself was great! My only complaint is about the Improv itself. The only soda options were Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Sierra Mist. That seems a bit chincy. No Mt. Dew, juice, root beer, anything! The drinks and food are really overpriced. I spent almost twice the ticket price on just the mandatory 2 item minimum per person!
He was just as funny as I remember from Last Comic Standing. He was also very personable and took pictures with us after the show.
