I’m ashamed to say that I’m sick of Improv. And sketch comedy. And stand-up.
To be fair, I’ve lived in LA for a decade and I’ve been to see hundreds of shows. That can wear a gal down. Working at comedy clubs probably didn’t help my love for the local laugh-fest either. And, I’ve never watched Saturday Night Live. No, not even when it was good. Sketch comedy is just not my thang. So, if I am telling you, loyal Cityzine reader, to go see a sketch show, you know it’s gotta be good.
I’ve been to the last few Groundlings shows. Sometimes literally dragging myself away from a night of red wine and West Wing on dvd to go. And I’m telling you, that shit is funny. Last time we were there, we counted only two sketches out of the whole hysterical show that were eye-rollers, a miraculous feat. Instead of looking at my watch, I actually (gasp) laughed. Out loud. A lot. These Groundlings are talented and quick and fun to watch. There’s a reason many great comedy actors started out as Groundlings and <insert schpeel here>. Shout out to my girl, Edi-P, who continuously rocks the house and almost made me pee myself last time I was there. Roo-roo, mommy.
The newest Groundlings show is called Groundlings Swimsuit Edition which is reason enough to check it out. Shows are Fridays at 8pm and Saturdays at 8 & 10 and it runs through April 19th. Tickets cost a mere $21.50. Bargain comedy that’s sure to make you giddy. Make sure to buy tickets ahead of time. Go for it. Get some.
