Yelprov Elite Event at ComedySportz Theater

WOW!!! I cannot WAIT to come back to this place!
1. it really was one of the BEST Unilocal events! I feel like one event keeps surpassing the next.
2. the actors were seriously hilarious and quick thinkers… esp that Zach!
3. I am planning on bringing my friends here.
4. it’s a great date spot
5. THANK YOU, Unilocal FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. Success!

The best Unilocal event that I’ve been to!
You all know that I can always find something wrong with these events. Typically, it’s because of the vendors and not because of our lovely planners. I could find nothing wrong with this event! Not one thing!
It was a smaller group, but not too small. ComedySportz provided some high quality and fun entertainment (without electrical tape on their nipples!) The food was great! The beer was flowing (although you need to have a safety buddy if you’re going to drink Matilda. 7% alcohol… yeeouch!!!) And the best part is that I didn’t have to wait in line for anything!
My only complaint was that this event was too short. I wanted more, more, more!!! :)

It was my first Unilocal Elite Event and it certainly won’t be my last! I had a wonderful time. The show was hilarious and our audience was a riot!
I was stuffed with all the free booze (THANK YOU Goose Island for the tasty 312s and Matildas!) and yummy treats. I made a dinner out of pretzels, BBQ chips and root beer floats and I couldn’t be happier.
I’ll definitely be back to ComedySportz in the near term. If only I had known how great it is before my visiting siblings left this week!
I can’t wait for the next Unilocal Elite event!

Where else can you watch an improv of film noir done to a country song in a french accent about the subject of China? (That metric conversion was simply original.) I laughed the whole time. =) ComedySportz, I’m definitely coming back soon.
Goose Island’s bbq chips were DELICIOUS! I think I ate 3 potatoes worth.

How could I not give this place 5 stars? Not only did it make my throat sore from laughing and shouting so loud last night, but even the food and drink was yummy.
A couple tidbits of information to share with y’all:
I enjoyed the Replay match the best, and laughed the hardest with the French/​Country set.
I found out that Matilda is hard to hang with in the morning. I wonder what I would have felt like if she hadn’t had run out. I chose to hang out with her 312 cousin instead.
I met some new Unilocalers, and was forced to ‘remember’ a couple more. Dallas, YATW is coming back to me. I am glad to officially meet, while sober.
Seating in the theater/​club allowed for visibility from all seats. I ate the potato chips up, yummy. I would most certainly come back for another show. The comedy crew had a good rhythm. Walking down Belmont brought me back down memory lane.
Thanks again to Colleen and Andrea and the rest of the Unilocal crew. You know how to bring it on!

So I’m standing around after the show, still laughing at a lot of the performance– and also at Amy H. drinking beer out of the trophy… and her friend Kelly subsequently pouring it out over her own head, which I had a prime seat for, since I was sitting directly in between them– and I’m wondering how soon and when I can come back for another show… and the nicest young lady walks up and hands us cards good for a discount on our return. Can’t wait to come back! All of the performers were great, especially Lori L, who stole the show.
Major props to Goose Island; the food and, of course, the beer, were fantastic. I’ve been buying cheaper beer lately for reasons that are immaterial to this review and realized last night that I need to get back to buying real beer– that being Goose Island.
Many thanks to Andrea and Colleen for setting this up, I had a really great time!

Colleen, Goose Island, and ComedySportz, I raise my first… no, second, ummm fourth (?) 312 to you!!!
A special cheers goes to the night of laughs I can expect from the top-​notch ComedySportz performers! I’ll be seeing you again soon!

Hilarity!
I think this ranks right up there with my fav Unilocal events of all time (well, you know, in the year or so I’ve been on here). Since one of my favorite hobbies in the world is laughing until tears run down my face, I had an awesome time.
Colleen C, you did a phenomenal job putting this together. The Goose Island chips, and snacks (pulled pork! oh my) were very tasty, and I’m pretty sure all those 312’s and Matilda’s were the fuel for the most excellent audience participation. And the performers? Love love love. Improv that amazing takes some serious skill, and keeping the show as clean as possible with a rowdy audience of Unilocalers takes some serious genius.

Colleen, Comedysportz, and Goose Island certainly pulled off a great event, so thanks guys! The food was fabulous… but I may have had one too many stuffed pretzels! The floats… omg…the traditional rootbeer was great, but my favorite was the orange dreamsicle one. Too yummy.
The venue was great, and the staff was top notch. But let’s not forget about the main event… the show! soooo, goood. lots of laughs! the performers we absolutely top notch, and I truly admire their ability to do what they do.
Thank you Chicago Unilocalers for showing this Minneapolis Unilocaler a great time on Thursday night! If you’re ever up in the Minneapple, look me up!

What other event could possibly fit our loud and obnoxious group as well as an event that actually ENCOURAGES us to yell things out randomly?
Clearly Comedy Sportz didn’t quite know what they were getting into with the Unilocalers, as they punished people for saying inappropriate things — really, they should have put a bag over the heads of those keeping it clean, no? But props to them for doing their lingo research. Star ratings, etc. Hilar.
Ah whatever, this was a fantastic evening and yet another rousing thanks to Colleen and Andrea for making it happen. Delicious food, delicious beers, delicious root beer floats. Good times.

This was the perfect remedy to a terrible work week. I feel terrible because I’ve had a gift certificate for the past 3 years to Comedy Sportz and I’ve yet to use it. I had no idea what I was missing out on! The performers were AMAZING! I was belly laughing the entire show. I was a bit disappointed the visitors lost, but I think I should be able to get over it.
Goose Island you guys were amazing! The Matilda was a bit much for me, but the 312 was awesome and the Root Beer was great. I know I’ll be coming back to Comedy Sportz in the near future.
PS– The game show following the show was awesome. I hope a couple of the well served Unilocalers made it home ok.

The only time I enjoyed improv was Drew Carey’s «Whose Line is it Anyway?» I have seen Second City at First Evanston Night during NYE, but I thought it was just okay. I would have rather payed for a stand up event and get in more laughs. However, ComedySportz has definitely turned me around. Their use of a ref, clever segs, DJ, aaahhhhdience participation, sound effects, and druken Unilocaler suggestions made a huge difference. ComedySportz is mos def something I would consider taking visitors.
I came a bit too late to gorge on the wonderful food and I was freezing my ass off in the corner, but all worth it.
I was just thinking about it and realized how much pressure it is to entertain all those Unilocalers. I mean, 100+ elite Unilocalers can set a paradigm shift with just one inappropriate joke. I would have [mind block] with all that pressure. Almost like going to a job interview in front of a panel of a hundred. But, everyone brought their A game.
Thanks for the great event!

I loved this event! I’ve been to Comedy Sportz a few times before (with the kiddos for good clean fun) but it was so much better with Unilocalers. The cast of comedy athletes were quick on their feet, and interacted well with the audience and each other. They were wet-​your-​pants funny. Note to self — get some Depends for next time.
I was one of the lucky Unilocalers chosen to participate in a sketch. We got to improvise a love song that had something to do with burritos and guacamole. Unilocaler/​performer Zack T. and the rest of the Red Team were very supportive and easy to improvise with.
The Matilda and snacks were delicious, and I love any event where I can sit down and chat with old and new Unilocal friends. Another great job, Princess Colleen!

Other than my very first Unilocal elite event where I was the noob, I have never seen so many unfamiliar Unilocal faces. But it was cool because I got to meet new people. Yay for new people!
I had a really great time at ComedySportz and will definitely incorporate the clap, clap, «Outta Here» into my daily routine. Dont like what your boss just said? Throw him out of the game-«Outta Here!». I bet it also works well on significant others as does brown bagging them. Goose Island provided pretty tasty treats and I hear their 312 and Matilda was good. Some people enjoyed it so much as to drink it out of a trophy.
Good times and job well done per usual.

Loved it. I posted under Comedy Sportz Unilocal listing (oops) so go there for more.
Had a great time and laughed like crazy. Those Guys did an improv-​alicious (new word) job! Great seeing some familiar faces.
Thanks Unilocal,Colleen, Goose Island, Comedy Sportz, and Nikki for sitting at the table with my boyfriend and I so we didn’t look like complete losers who couldn’t fill a 4 seat table even though you were probably just trying to be close to your friends at the other table we can pretend you were there for us :-)
Let’s do this again.

what a bunch of funny mother f*$Kers!
seriously, no swearing, clean and smart OOOOOH… AAAAAHHH hehehe fun;-)
funny haha… yeah they made me giggle;-)
with free beer from the goose, free rootbeer floats and hummus to plump the tummus another stellar Unilocaling moment which was once again documented by the Gin of Dan.
Colleen, Andrea and Minnesota taking to the details to herd this slew of unpredictable Unilocalers.
Good times, good laughs, good amount of cleavage!, YAY Summer!

This is definitely one of the best Unilocal events I’ve been to. Granted, it was my second one since I’ve moved here. I’m a huge fan of Improv, but I rarely attended live shows.
The (say it with me) AUDIENCE had great suggestions (Internetting is a sport? YES!) and the improvisonal games were very fun for being clean. Although, having a brown bag over your head isn’t much punishment. In fact, it’s more like an incentive.
Even though I don’t drink, I’m sure everyone else loved the free beers. Free beers + free nibbles and desserts + free laughs = better than curling with a Chihuahua broom and a Mini-​Me rock.
I would’ve loved to hear a ballad about syphilis. For serious.

Well, Unilocal does it again. Another fun-​filled evening, this time at the new Comedy Sportz (hey wasn’t this the former spot of Ann Sather and also before that a funeral home??). My taste buds enjoyed the BBQ-​style chips, the Matilda (hmm Belgian-​style ale… nice Goose Island!!), the funky floats and the mini-​desserts. The comedy show featured talented and funny team members, but there were plenty of Unilocalers in the AUDIENCE that were also bloody talented and funny (and drunk) which enhanced the entire experience for me.
Big thanks again and gold medals to Andrea and Colleen, and I look forward to seeing Dan G’s fabulous photos!
PS Unilocalrov sounds like a Russian gymnast…

I chuckled, stuffed my face with bbq chips and cheese pretzels from Goose Island, laughed again until it hurt, and then stuffed my face even more…
Oh, what a night it was!
Thanks to ComedySportz for the laughs… this isn’t the last you’ll see of me!

HA!
Review it here, babes!
Special thanks to ComedySportz Theater, the fantastic performers, and the all-​star staff of Goose Island.
Damn, Matilda is my new favorite beer. That stuff packs a damn punch, yeeeeeee ha! Plus, cute name.
Great to see all of you!
