| - Fantastic group of talented improv-ers! My husband's a big fan of a lot of the performers from some of their other work (in Blame Society productions, etc.) and so I brought him to see some shows as a surprise for his birthday. I sent Monkey Business a message beforehand, and they went out of their way to gather a big group of the performers my husband's familiar with. He was thrilled, and was especially excited to meet the performers as they walked around after the shows to chat with the audience. (We've seen improv in several other cities as we've moved around the country, and no one we've seen spends time with the audience after shows like these guys do.) Several of them knew about the surprise, and came up to wish my husband happy birthday/talk with us a little longer/sit and have a beer with us.
So I can't say enough about their hospitality, but I also want to say we had a fantastic time watching the shows! We saw the Grown-up show and a Late-night Long Form show. The earlier show was short form, and was a blast! The performers worked together really well, kept the energy high and the crowd engaged. And we'd definitely recommend their Long Form shows, based on the one we saw. It's a more theatrical style of show, but just as entertaining as the short form games, and you get to see the performers use different improv skills than they use in short form. They did a great job with this one!
Thanks so much Monkey Business Institute! We'll be back again next time we're in Madison!
