Other than the show "What's My Line?", have you ever seen any improv comedy that is actually funny? Just about every attempt I see at this is about as funny as cancer. Just saw a news story on a troupe around Nola that visits hospitals to entertain patients and make them laugh. They were just hard to watch. It was embarrassing. The few shots of patients showed expressions of "WTF is this?"

Whose Line is it Anyway is one of my favorite shows ever

The hoedowns at the end were the best.

Go to a Second City show in Chicago. Watch a lot of major motion picture comedies where the dialogue is basically suggested and the actors improv most of it. Hell, go see The Family Dinner at the Manship Theater.

You obviously know jack shite about comedy and seem like someone I would avoid at a party

Edit: after reading my post to myself, that was rather aggressive. Sorry, it's been a long day.

I went to Whole World Improv Theater in Atlanta and it was a 100% improv show. I never thought I could laugh so hard. My stomach was sore the next day.

I would be so distraught if you avoided me at a party.

Still haven't been but I've seen all the members perform elsewhere. They've got some pretty funny people in that group.

Remember when I was at LSU, got drug by a gf to an improv show and it was absolutely brutal. If you don't laugh at all at anything they do while stoned you know it's stupid.

Haven't seen much, but caught a show at IO in Chicago once and it was absolutely LOL hilarious.
