My experience was unfortunately quite jarring. Some friends and I had decided to see a show after having read so many good reviews. What I experienced was a shocking display of ignorant stereotypes of people of color, masked behind the guise of comedy. After the show a friend asked the question (playing devil's advocate so to speak,) "Because the medium is comedy, does it free people from accountability?"
We all agreed that it does not. More people are defamed, marginalized, and humiliated under the pretense of comedy, but ultimately for someone else's sadistic pleasure. To see a full white cast depicting African, Asian, etc.. stereotypes is not just offensive, its racist. The sign on the building reads Improv Boston, but is missing the most important message. White's Only Improv Boston.
