A night of laughs with unexpected adult humor with Shakespeare mixed in. - Hysterical! Improv, Shakespeare, and adult humor in a small venue that got the audience involved made for a fun evening. It's great to have bar service available. The cast was so friendly, answering questions or interacting with guests when they weren't involved in the scene. Can't wait to go again.

Funny: where you get sat is KEY! - The show is funny; it moves fast and (apparently) changes every night. Audience participation happens (be warned if that's not your thing!) The actors and staff were a blast to watch and interact with. Landing at 4/5 stars because we were seated in the first row but on a weird angle and most of the acting was happening at the other end of the stage so it was hard to see everything.
