Improv Asylum

3.5 stars

We walked in 20 minutes before the 9pm curtain call for the NXT crew & bought $10 tickets. I like spur-of-the-moment activities, but I should've known easily-scored tickets meant not a 5-star show.

Obviously, improv is effing hard. The scripted parts, the musical bits--those were funny, I'd even call the song about the Orange Line (subway line) genius...but, unfortunately, the improv skits just weren't that funny. Most of the crew were talented & had good comedic timing, a few actresses had to be carried through the scene.

I like the basement setting & the location on busy Hanover Street; I wouldn't hesitate to see another show (with a different round if actors), but I wouldn't label myself a fan.

I enjoy the Improv Asylum. The actors do a great job and interact well with the audience...a must for improv!

I have not had luck ever just showing up to see a show. Definitely worth reserving seats in advance. There are no bad views, but the theater is a bit cramped.

Very funny. You would never know you were in the basement of a CVS. Some improv and some rehearsed skits. All were funny. I recommend buying tickets in advance on their website. I would go again.
