Has anyone gone to see this show? It's been going since 2003 (man, how time flies) and it starts Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood from Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

I finally got around to seeing it last night with my family and it was a lot of fun. Very funny. They did "Moving People" (highlight was Brad being stuck in a position that must've been hard on his left arm), a "fill in the blank" game where three audience members finished their sentences (it was a murder mystery scene about a butcher), a game similar to "Interrogation" where the audience supplied Brad's crime and Colin had to give him clues so he could guess (IIRC, Brad had made a scrapbook of his fridge's contents while disguised as a clown in Mukwonago on a GMO free, free range kitten farm and space station!), a variant of "Song Styles" (they sang to a retired woman who wanted to travel to Australia- at one point Brad said he wanted to "didgeridoo all over you", which brought down the house), a game where they brought three audience members on-stage and gave them different emotions- Brad was angry and the other three were elated, sad, and horny- each was assigned a different sound based on that emotion and then Colin conducted them like an orchestra, "Sound Effects" (set at a go-kart track but shifted gears, so to speak, and became a "camping in the woods" scene), and a variant of "Showstopping Number" where they'd be doing a scene and every so often they'd break into song based on a playlist from off-stage (highlight was when Brad didn't know a song and didn't quite have the lyrics matching the song's rhythm). The show ended with a parody of "My Way" where the two recapped the night's games. I was hoping they'd do the "most dangerous improv game"- the one where they are blindfolded and keep stepping on mouse traps, but they probably only do that one occasionally.

It's worth going to, especially if you're a Whose Line fan. The best thing about it, of course, is that it's never the same show twice.
