Editorial reviews from the web (2)

Comedians weave audience suggestions into shows six nights a week that blend comic topical sketches. Longrunning "All The Single Ladies"—a raucous, bawdy interactive dance comedy geared around girls night out and bachelorette parties—runs March through October at nearby Ned Devine's Pub. All shows (usually $20) tend to sell out, so get there early.

Let the posters that catch your eye on the Freedom Trail draw you back to the North End later for raucous improv and sketch comedy in a subterranean setting. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday evenings, and buying tickets in advance is suggested. Recommended for people over 16; you must be 21 to buy alcohol.

They are a talented bunch. The improv bits were the best though-great to see what creative minds can do with random stuff! Husband enjoyed it for his birthday.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 7:30 Saturday night show this past weekend. The comedians are hysterical. Very talented and so quick with savvy improv. Highly reccommend this place for a great time. No bad seats as it's a small venue. You will not be disappointed!

Great comedy

If you're into improv and comedy, check this place out. Make sure you get a drink and get involved with the show. Makes the experience that much more fun! Also get your tickets in advance. Our 10pm show was sold out!
