  • This was a painful evening. When actor/comedians are expecting to riff off of an idea it certainly helps that they have a smattering of knowledge about things. For example, it's awfully tough to make a subject like alchemy funny when you clearly don't know what alchemy is. Out of the 4 performers, I couldn't see a single member with any talent for improvisation at all. The chuckling and occasional guffaw that came from the audience has to have been attributable to public drunkenness, either that or the troupe had relatives in the audience. I was shocked to see that Monkey Business actually conducts classes on improv. I think that maybe they should consider taking some classes from say Second City who actually can do this kind of of comedy. If they have in fact taken some classes and the performance I saw last night is what resulted, it's best they don't quit their day jobs. 10/23/13 As an addendum, I was contacted by a principal of the troupe following my review and given a full refund for both mine and my wife's tickets. I was impressed by his deep humility at the performance as given and was assured it was an "off night' for he and his troupe. These things do happen so I had to apologize for not being able to see for myself a subsequent show explaining I am not from the Madison area and only make a yearly visit. So, don't let my one time experience influence you overtly. When people believe in what they're doing they generally can deliver and can be forgiven for having off days as we all occasionally do.
