Definitely a mixed bag, which was incredibly disappointing to me. I took a group of friends to a Wednesday night late show, which was just a guy talking in a loose, talkshow-style about his tour and how much he hated the election results. Too many inside jokes and references no one that isn't a UCB student would get I suppose.

However, I wanted this to be a better experience, so I went back the following Thursday for the early show (as it was all I could fit into my schedule) and saw a GREAT improv show. The performers were top notch and I really enjoyed both halves of the show. I could definitely see some of these individuals making an easy transition to huge careers.

So, I my rating is based on the second show and the fact that it is a fun, intimate atmosphere that works well for comedy. There are a few site lines that are not ideal due to posts, but overall you will have a great time. I guess I would just avoid any late show....or at least anyone that is trying to improv a talk show.....
