Improv Asylum

Improv Asylum on Hanover Street gives the audience some responsibility for what happens next. The cast takes suggestions from the room and turns them into scenes, alongside sketch and musical comedy. Most shows run about 90 minutes with a short intermission, though the late-night and alternative programs can be shorter. There is a bar, and the North End location makes dinner before the show an easy part of the plan. Seating is general admission, so arrive with your whole group if you want to sit together. The theater recommends getting there 30 minutes early. Read the description for your chosen show, especially when bringing younger guests; the humor can get adult.
