Went to the midnight show Raunch by myself on a Saturday. Obviously going with a group is more ideal for comedy, but I was in Boston from out of town and love Improv so that s cool! Performers were strong. This specific show mixed a long form style with short form games which was cool, not sure if all their shows are built this way, but it s fun to watch for all audiences. So yea you should go because Improv is awesome and these people are strong performers.

My gripe was with the handling of hecklers. When you add a full bar, an unscripted show asking for audience participation, and midnight on a Saturday in the north end, you re inherently going to get some audience members who think they re part of the show, however the staff needs to do a better job of shutting them up. It took 40 minutes into the set until someone asked a particularly hammered and obnoxious few people to be quiet, when they were already too much in the opening scene. If the staff cleans that up, this is a perfect Improv theater.
