| Wing-It Productions' Jet City Improv is pretty darn funny; the best improv I've seen in Seattle. Plus, Jet City's production of Saturday Morning Cartoon Show runs about an even 50-50 between improv and actual rehearsed bits. The show begins with a clever take on that '70s camp classic of tight jeans, futuristic lizard people, and Claymation tyrannosaurs, Land of the Lost, mixes in a few takes on familiar commercials (how many licks does it take to get to the center, anyway?), and closes with a completely improvised episode of Scooby-Doo featuring quick, clever improv and the second-best Shaggy I've ever seen. The production left me with the exact same feeling as a night out drinking with a bunch of smart, fun people that I know extremely well and with whom I share a similar sense of humor. And that's light years more than you get from most improv--sans the suicide wish. Viva la Jet City. |
