      I have been a few times and it's never quite the same show twice. Really funny, highly recommended! Just checked out the "You're a Good Man, Scott Brown" show and it was great as well. It reminded me how much I love their regular sketch comedy and improv shows. A great place to take a date as well, not that expensive and you can always enjoy a laugh and a drink! Collapse
