Amazing!
I was looking forward to seeing this show, but I didn’t know what to expect. From beginning to end, this was such an entertaining experience of “choose-your-own-adventure”, hearing so many different stories unique to our show’s experience. Funny, endearing, and meaningful - I’m so glad I saw this show!

Beyond 5 Kitties... This show is Infini-kitties.
I have met and known Mahmoud as an incredibly kind person and entertaining performer, who I have had the pleasure of watching and improvising with. He is a smart player. He is witty, supportive, grounded, and uniquely funny. All of this came through in his performance, with incredible physical moments, endearing storytelling, and humor. However, there is so much more that was revealed and expressed. Mahmoud's story is deep, real, heartbreaking, and powerful. I left the show speechless, as I tend to be an empathetic and affected viewer. After processing, I have continued to think of his story and cry. But when I also reflect on this amazing artist and performer, I smile. His story is a reminder to us all: You never know what someone has been through, and what shapes their life story and experience. The strength to share is commendable, and I felt honored to be in the audience and invited into Mahmoud's story. All children deserve love. They deserve to grow up safe and loved. There is a child inside us all, and we must treat each other with compassion. Thank you for sharing your story, Mahmoud.

A Wild Ride (pun intended)
Wow. This was a wild time. That's all I can say. Rob's vivacious energy entertained me. Also, the crocodile was probably my favorite part - great physicality. Great show!

Show: Blackout Improv Does Something!!!
Venue: HUGE Improv Theater
Great show!
I'm so glad I got to catch Blackout again and see so many members of the cast present! The artist who opened up was fantastic, and I loved the format of the show and the forms used throughout. In our particular show, there was a swag hat where the audience put topics they would like to hear Blackout discuss. After choosing and discussing one political topic, then having to filter out some additional political topics, they then chose and discussed a topic I really enjoyed hearing the cast talk about - BLERDS! Showcasing that we are all full of nuance and have varied interests, and to continue dismantling stereotypes around us, while being hilarious. Thanks for another awesome show!

Great show!
I enjoyed the concept of this show so much. Coach Clemens was inviting, and we all enjoyed this once-in-a-moment time where people shared their small to large business! He put on a great show, even without his co-host, who I wish I could’ve seen. But our stand-in co-host was awesome and shared great moments!
