Does She or Doesn't She?

Much like the myriad of bottle blondes running around Hollywood, there are many venues claiming to perform Improv Comedy. Improv - as in "improvisational" - means "made up on the spot." While the Juggernaut that is the Groundlings claims to be a haven of improv, one only has to visit a show to witness how heavily scripted the "improv" portion of the evening actually is. Improv Olympic, on the other hand, is truly a 'fly by the seat of the pants' affair and 99% of the time produces amazingly hilarious results. Far from the confining theater games of "Who's Line is It Anyway", IO specializes in "Long form" improv, which is truly a feat to witness. Go! Drink! Laugh! Spread the word!
