One of the best experiences of my life. I love standup comedy but this is another level. How they mold audience ideas into funny scenes on the spot is just spectacular. Loved it. Absolutely worth watching.

Went to a Saturday night RAUNCH performance and had SUCH a good time! Audience was engaged, comedians were fast and funny, structure had good flow. Whoever was on lights had a really good awareness of when to end a bit. Shoutout Kellie Moon for being my favorite.

Lovely evening. Talented actors. Pay attention. You could be part of the skit. It’s strange to me how I could walk into the theater with no connection to any of performers and leaving loving them all so much. If you’re on the fence, go for it. The round theater is fun. The drink prices are reasonable. We attended tonight and I was excited to write this review. Awesome experience.

We laughed from start to finish. Love the audience participation. The one bozo who thought he was getting called up to improv and then was escorted back to his seat was great. Serious fun. Wish we had one back home in Jacksonville.

1st time from nebraska. Just a shot from the hip to try this. Front row. Girlfriend got invited to participate. These guys. What can you say? Obviously hilarious but the way they do it was just magical. Highly Recommended 1st show was so good that we stayed for the second one. They said you don't buy a shirt to a show that sucks. We bought two?

Had a very enjoyable time. The Actors were spontaneously clever and funny. Zachery Barker asked me to join him in a skit and it was so much fun. He was a gentleman and made me feel quite relaxed while enjoying his comedic and quick thinking skit. We stayed for the next solo artists ‘ show. Kelli Moon was very funny. Her voice is beautiful and a pleasure to listen to. The last show of the night “Good Boy” performed by Luke Fraser, was poignant. Luke is a very good actor and from the audience’s response it was obvious that he touched the sensitivities of many.

I’ve been going to Improv Asylum for over a decade and it’s always a good time. I’ve brought so many friends from out of town there, including international friends, usually to get roasted by the cast. I’ve gone with clients, and I’ve also gone by myself when I wanted an easy, entertaining night in Boston. The shows are fun, quick-witted, interactive, and consistently hilarious. One thing I really appreciate about it is that it’s also a great activity if you’re health or nutrition conscious. I competed in bodybuilding for many years, so there were long stretches of time where going out to eat wasn’t really part of my lifestyle. Improv Asylum was still something I could enjoy because I could eat beforehand and just go enjoy the show. You also don’t need to drink there to have fun, which I personally appreciate. Now that I live in Seaport, I especially love the earlier shows because it’s such an easy night. You can grab food in the North End before or after, walk over to the show, and have a really fun evening without needing some huge production. I also want to try the improv classes at some point because becoming quicker and wittier in my second language would be both useful and fun. Boston staple in my opinion.
