Funny! Funny! Funny! 7/6/2009

I see a lot of comedy, mostly Improv, in NYC, Chicago and elsewhere. Let me tell you, these guys are the real deal. They are funny, smart and topical. Try as I did to stump them with my suggestions, they kept hitting the ball out of the park. They even created an entire musical based on a story told by an audience member -- me! Pros: Hilarious Comedy more

Chicago City Limits— A Total Blast 10/26/2008

by BC at NYC.com Provided by NYC.com
I went and checked out their Show "One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State" with a colleague and it was a total blast. Just how political this show gets depends to a great degree on the suggestions from the audience, but the cast will riff on anything and do it in a variety of formats-- straight monologue, solo and duet singing numbers, game shows , even a broadwayesque finale that suddenly materializes in front of your eyes after just a brief moment of conversation with the audience. This particular show's finale was spectacular, even if the gamester topic from the audience threw the troupe for a split-second loop. Inspired by the demise of a young audience member's video game character, it came together quickly and seemlessly, incorporating songs, a hand to hand battle scene, and even off stage voice over phone calls. Awesome entertainment! more

Best Comedy Show In Town 7/18/2007

I see a lot of comedy shows, everything from Broadway to little holes in the wall in Brooklyn. This is the best show I've seen in years. The actors are quick-witted, and they actually have interesting, informed point of views. They kept me and my guests laughing all night long. The highlight is a 20 minute musical, complete with overture, songs and book, that they make up on the spot after talking to a customer about a recent event in their lives! The price is right, and this may just be the best deal in town. The club is cozy and friendly. Who could ask for anything more? Pros: Funny and affordable Cons: Could use a better drink menu more

Not worth your time 8/22/2006

I went there on a thursday night with my date. I'd read reviews on this website which said the show was hilarious. So I decided to give it a try instead of going to Comic Strip Live as I usually do. Well, to put it simply, very bad decision. This place stinks! Pros: It ended! Cons: Everything else more

I'm Still Laughing 6/9/2005

This has to be the funniest show in town. The 4 amazing actors work wonders, taking audience suggestions to create hysterical comedy right before your eyes. I've been back 4 times and each has been a fantastic experience. Pros: Very Funny, Good Value more

Hilarious! 5/5/2005

I laughed so hard, I cried (for more!)! I love the new space and the drinks!! I would recommend seeing them again and again. I'm bringing back my boyfriend next week! I love the part when they get a story from the audience and turn it into a musical. Pros: Hilarious!, Funny! more
