How do you improve on the best Improv comedy troupe on earth?
You can’t. Unless you decide to see it with 30 friends, and this was precisely the experience of LRTweetup at the Arkansas Rep this past Thursday.
The Rep opened Club Mezz to LRTweetup and the laid back atmosphere in addition to great food and good friends made it the perfect place to hang out prior to the show. We could have chatted all night. Then at 8 pm it all changed.
The lights dimmed and Second City took the stage.
I’m a huge comedy fan and I was prepared to be impressed but I wasn’t prepared for seeing perfect improv live. The performers’ quick wit and impeccable timing left you speechless in between gasps of laughter. From their political satire to old skit revivals it was a treasure to behold. All of us spent the evening in tears.
I can’t recommend Second City enough. They are performing at the Rep through Oct 18 so there is still time to catch this amazing show.
A big Thank-you to the Rep (@theRep) for offering the discount tickets and the venue for the gathering and thanks to Angel (@angelmg) for making this all happen.
