"An unapologetically un-pc Production..." - Killian Melloy, The Edge Boston
Cubicle slaves and corporate drones unite! FishNet-NetWorks.Net is a politically incorrect, audience interactive parody of an office meeting gone hilariously wrong. This 12 character, partially scripted, partially improvised comedy guarantees a fin-tastic time! Best of all, it is never the same show twice. You throw the line and see what bites! Please note, FishNet-NetWorks.Net is an Equal Opportunity Offender. (For Mature Audiences)

I had no idea what this show was about when I walked in. My girlfriend bought them at the half off booth, so I just accompanied her. I am so glad I id, because this was HILARIOUS!! My girlfriend and I loved the quirky humor, and the actors were very good. They were great at the improv segments as well. This show would make a great sitcom with its great characters! Thumbs up!

You start as a new employee, meet

I laughed almost non-stop. Loved
the improv, loved the actors
walking around talking to audience
members before the show, loved the
whole. I highly recommend this

We were hoping to see something like a live/improv version of "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation." However, the characters were complete stereotypes (e.g., office floozy, brown-noser) and the humor was not clever at all -- it was "hit you over the head" slapstick that got old very fast. We got up and left before the show was over.

Saw it again at Club Cafe on July 30th and I was really impressed. Fishnet has really grown up and become very polished!! Lots of new faces (Edward was just perfect)but my favorites are still there (Burton just makes me laugh and Hannah still steals the show )
Make time to see this show and definitely bring your sense of humor. You're gonna need it.

multiple times over a 12 month period and as much
as it evolves, each singular addition to the

fully engages the audience into the office
environment and the onstage antics of the cast
keep one glued to the front stage. certain
characters stand out like Hannah of HR. She is
simply golden and accurate in her portrayal. Ryan,
for those that have bn in boring workplaces, is one

Looking for a truly unique theater experience in Boston? Look no further than "FishNet-NetWorks.NET!" Be prepared to enter into an interactive, audience participation experience where no two shows are the same. Upon your entrance into the theater, it becomes evident that this is unlike any other show you've been to. Actors (corporate Fishnet employees) mingle with the audience (new hires, or "guppies" as you'll be referred to) as the meeting gets underway, and you are not quite sure what is actually part of the show...and what isn't!! Once the corporate meeting is well underway, hilarity ensues as you come to identify the inter-office dynamics between such office personas as HR, accounting, IT, admin, and marketing (come on, we ALL understand how interesting THOSE dynamics can be in an office environment!!) From the interoffice love affairs, to Vishy the IT engineer with six names, to the flamboyant head of marketing... just come to Club Cafe and see for yourself!!

A very funny improvisational play about a group of office workers forced to attend a corporate meeting, FishNet features a fine cast who are adept at playing off each other. The audience is reeled in before the (figurative) curtain rises, with cast members engaging the attendees in the antics. The play features characters that anyone who has worked in an office will recognize, but the material is fresh and relevant. The fish puns fly thick and
fast. Most of the actors have backgrounds in stand up and improvisational comedy, which serves them well, as they need to be quick on their fins. With excellent performances all around, Saturday's cast included Giovanni Alabiso as Jeff Downer, carping about his depressing life, the perky and energetic Wayne Fritsche as Burton the Marketing rep, and
Juliet Bowler as Hannah, who had everyone trembling in fear when she introduced herself as the Human Ressources Director. The play makes good use of video.

Fishnet is seriously one of the funniest shows/plays/performances, etc. I have ever seen. I can tell that all of the actors on stage love doing it and have a great time! Never mind the audience, throughout the whole show- there wasn't one moment where nobody was laughing! I have to say, that Jeff Downer had great side reactions (when the attention
wasn't on him). The men playing Burton Reynolds and Vishy had a blast!!! I could tell they had a lot of fun up there. Maximilian had great stage presence and I couldn't tell whether he
was improvising or just speaking! Flawless job once again, Fishnet.

This show is so entertaining. Barring some minor projector issues the show was a riot. This show takes chaotic comedy to the next level. Very different and a lot of fun. Solid characters. I loved John Doe's entry. Ryan's (sales exec) monologue was right on the mark with a funny twist. The over energized Indian character (Vishie? sp?) was loud and lovable. Burt(on) was very good. All in all a ton of fun. Tip - Fear the Indian head shake...

Very fun show! At the beginning of the show, the audience is told that they are all new employees of this company and this is our welcome meeting. As the show goes on, we meet various (a BIG cast!) company "employees" that are from different departments.In the middle of the show, the audience is told that they must decide which one the employees to fire. This is done in real time by text messaging. Cool concept! The characters were absolutely hilarious! I work in admin for a company and so many of them reminded me of people I work with. The improv was very good. The script was witty! The actors (in particular, the evil HR, the gay marketing guy, and the "Prince Harry" lookalike) but they were all very funny! The marketing guy was fired by the audience, and performed a very dramatic exit. Overall, this was a fun night out! Only negative was that sometimes I did not hear some of the actor's lines. Some of them needed to speak up. I recommend this, especially if you work in an office!

A very funny improvisational play about a group of office workers forced to attend a corporate meeting, FishNet features a fine cast who are adept at playing off each other. The audience is reeled in before the (figurative) curtain rises, with cast members engaging the attendees in the antics. The play features characters that anyone who has worked in an office will recognize, but the material is fresh and relevant. The fish puns fly thick and
fast. Most of the actors have backgrounds in stand up and improvisational comedy, which serves them well, as they need to be quick on their fins. With excellent performances all around, Saturday's cast included Giovanni Alabiso as Jeff Downer, carping about his depressing life, the perky and energetic Wayne Fritsche as Burton the Marketing rep, and

Fishnet is seriously one of the funniest shows/plays/performances, etc. I have ever seen. I can tell that all of the actors on stage love doing it and have a great time! Never mind the audience, throughout the whole show- there wasn't one moment where nobody was laughing! I have to say, that Jeff Downer had great side reactions (when the attention
wasn't on him). The men playing Burton Reynolds and Vishy had a blast!!! I could tell they had a lot of fun up there. Maximilian had great stage presence and I couldn't tell whether he
was improvising or just speaking! Flawless job once again, Fishnet.

This show is so entertaining. Barring some minor projector issues the show was a riot. This show takes chaotic comedy to the next level. Very different and a lot of fun. Solid characters. I loved John Doe's entry. Ryan's (sales exec) monologue was right on the mark with a funny twist. The over energized Indian character (Vishie? sp?) was loud and lovable. Burt(on) was very good. All in all a ton of fun. Tip - Fear the Indian head shake...

Very fun show! At the beginning of the show, the audience is told that they are all new employees of this company and this is our welcome meeting. As the show goes on, we meet various (a BIG cast!) company "employees" that are from different departments.In the middle of the show, the audience is told that they must decide which one the employees to fire. This is done in real time by text messaging. Cool concept! The characters were absolutely hilarious! I work in admin for a company and so many of them reminded me of people I work with. The improv was very good. The script was witty! The actors (in particular, the evil HR, the gay marketing guy, and the "Prince Harry" lookalike) but they were all very funny! The marketing guy was fired by the audience, and performed a very dramatic exit. Overall, this was a fun night out! Only negative was that sometimes I did not hear some of the actor's lines. Some of them needed to speak up. I recommend this, especially if you work in an office!
