Dizzying, Dated, Absorbing, Quirky, Cliched

See it if you enjoy immersing and participating in improvisational theatre and don’t mind plotless interactions, disjointed, loose end conversations

Don't see it if you prefer scripted plots, character arcs, audible dialog, traditional staging, or musicals/larger casts, and less audience participation

Disappointing, Dated, Cliched, Overrated, Slow

See it if want to sit at the bar and grab some drinks specials while some conversations you may not care about go on behind you. If you like therapy.

Don't see it if you are expecting something funny and real improv. They rely on the audience too much, and the actors jokes were not funny. Read more

Excruciating, Indulgent, Disappointing, Confusing, Banal

See it if If you think talking to strangers, most of whom are ringers, about topics only a college freshman might find profound this is a show for you

Don't see it if If you like genuine spontaneity or intelligent discussions about serious issues. You won’t find it here. Awkward and forced interaction.
