I'm a pretty big fan of improvisational comedy. Used to dabble in it myself back in my theater days.I've only had two opportunities to see IndyProv perform - both at this and last year's Laff-A-Thon at Theatre on the Square. So this review is for those performances, and not any of their standard shows (although I won tickets, so I will write an update when I see them perform outside of LaffAThon).They have a great cast of players and it's fun to watch. I have to subtract one star because the comedy can get a little "mature" at times which means that it's not appropriate for all ages and sensibilities. Doesn't bother me, but I did think that it should have been PG at the Laff A Thon since there were some younger children present. It's possible that their normal shows are not all-ages and therefore it's not an issue. However, if you are easily offended, maybe you should skip it ;-)My only other critique is that sometimes the skits seem more funny for the players than for the audience. I think a strong "leader" during the different games would be helpful in steering the skit.These folks worked HARD at the Laff-A-Thon (12 hours of comedy has to be painful!) and I gotta throw out mad props!
