The improvisational nature of their performances adds an element of spontaneity, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and in fits of laughter.
Another fun comedy experience is Don’t Tell Comedy. They hold stand-up comedy shows in over 100+ cities (and of course in LA) with a secret line-up of performers at a secret location.
