| - Let me start off by saying that making me laugh requires an abnormally high amount of effort. I wish laughter came easily for me because I WANT to laugh when I'm not busy watching Star Trek or programming this generation's next ridiculous app. Alas, this review is not about me. This review is about the surprisingly amazing place that is JesterZ.
JesterZ, you caught me off guard. I came in with my cold and lifeless sense of humor and walked out with the feeling that I put in time at the gym. My. Abdominal. Muscles. Hurt. So. Good.
I want to believe that I was right in being a skeptic of this place, but I was very wrong. Most notable thing about this place was that the cast had amazing chemistry with each other. Each person performing had a different style of performing, which was surely to appeal to the different sense of humour in the crowd. The way they played off of each other's styles made the act of performing improv look simply effortless.
As the engaging host took the audience through many different improv games, we were all left with memorable moments of hilarity and opportune participation. This isn't a show where you just sit and listen, you are able to contribute to the scene, which makes it even more impressive. 90 minutes of performing and they never lost their energy or appeal. I only wish that during those 90 minutes I was able to get an intermission so I could get MYSELF together!
As for the facility, the decor is nice, clean and fits the theme well. They have drinks and snacks and a great little area where you can take photos with your family or friends.
I have written reviews on Yelp sparingly, most normally when I experience something so utterly life changing that I feel the need to share my experience. Please, if you're on the fence about seeing a show here just TRY IT! I found the show to be intelligent, honest, hilarious and very gratifying. Congratulations JesterZ, you have a forever fan.
