Very fun show. Will definitely go again when they're back!
Ben Schwartz is so freaking good at this, brilliant and high energy. What a laugh riot this performance was with Ben and his 3 comic friends. I had seen his TV series (with Middleditch) so I hoped the performance would compare, and it did! 5 stars!
An improv show that didn’t feel like an improv show. It was funny and creative, but perhaps, next time, Ben could come out and do stand up instead.
This was one of the greatest comedy shows I’ve ever been to. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the 7:00 show so much we bought tickets for the 10:00 right after… and it did not disappoint 12/10 recommend. All the comedians were amazing
Ben Schwartz had everyone laughing so hard, it was pure joy, especially after the last two years. Everyone on stage was UCB NY or UCB LA grads. Live improv doesn’t get better than this.
Beautiful venue, comfortable seating, helpful staff. And the show was hilarious! The long-form improv of Ben and 3 additional comedians (UCB members) had the whole place bursting with laughter. Highly recommended!
Hilarious! Best improve show, I was crying from laughter!
As expected, we laughed hysterically the entire show. Ben never disappoints and this was no exception, the improv was impressive and the show was spectacular! Thanks for all of the laughs.
It was absolutely hilarious, a ridiculous amount of fun, and something I'll be quoting and referencing with my friend who was with me for ages while everyone around us is completely mystified. The magic of improv.
I love Ben Schwartz so much! This show was so much fun and I was absolutely thrilled with the "friends" he brought because they are also really funny people that I enjoy!! Staying for the second show was tempting, but this gal needed to go home to relax.
Truly don’t know what to say other than if you have any inclination to go see him, DO IT. If you know long form improv is not your thing, then don’t. But if it is, this is consistently the funniest show out there. Highest laugh per dollar ratio of any tickets I’ve ever bought hands down. Literally just stop reading and go buy tix!!!
