The Kansas City Star had a great article as well...they even mentioned our very own Kansas City Improv Blog.

The weekend was kind to all of the improv shows.

Comedy City sold out

CounterClockwiseComedy sold out
Thunderdome might as well have been sold out
Tantrum and John over at Roving Imp said that they had great crowds as well.

Congratulations Kansas City Improv.
Keep up the great shows.

Kansas City Improv gets some great press

Kansas City is enjoying the most thriving comedy scene that I've seen in my lifetime. Not at the stand-up level, where the big clubs are overpriced temples to the hacks. And the low-rent clubs feature too many sweaty, shouting open-mikers polishing sets from three years ago. Instead, it's among the seat-of-the-pants improv crowd.

Special Thanks goes to Alan Scherstuhl for his ongoing support of good improv in Kansas City.
