Everyone knows, we are HUGE fans of Improv, especially IMPROGUISE. We stalk and follow them wherever they go. We're like a rash. But this show was not their best. They acted really well and I sat thinking "is this improvised or not?", which made me think "wow they are really good!" and "hmmm, I'm not sure if this part is improvised or not..." It's no secret Lee-Ann and I love the games and lightness of improv. That being said there are some more darker scenes or parts that are still really good. We come to improv to laugh uncontrollably, watch our favourite troupe let it loose and we felt that last night we never laughed so much, the plot was not so clear to us and the cliff and movie theatre were not used as much as we would have expected. We see a lot of improv. A LOT. And so I feel we can give this review and the troupe know it's out of love and respect for them and the art. Will we come again? of course!!! Will we tell the world? Yes!!! This won't stop us from coming back! PS: we love you all.

My first experience of live improv theatre, and it was a great one! It was also lovely to be able to chat to the cast after the show.
