Go 4 Broke Presents: BEERprov Reunion
Drinks with old friends? Classic short form improv games? DECADES of friendship stories? After a 7 year hiatus, lifelong friends come back together to once again become Go 4 Broke. From the creators of sell-out Fringe hit Improv Against Humanity (★★★★ Vue Weekly) this show is your answer to wild improv rooted in deep friendship.
BEERprov was my first Fringe show and it definitely set the bar high! All of the performers were incredibly quick and clever which was very impressive because some of the audience suggestions were pretty wild. You could really see the great chemistry the performers had with each other and they were so good at interacting with the audience that I felt completely engaged from start to finish. They kept me laughing and occasionally gasping the whole time. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for more shows from this group, they may have officially turned me into a Fringe regular!
BEERprov was hilarious, inviting, and incredibly silly. Based around short-form improv games, the five artists would take turns randomly selecting a game for them to play. At the heart of it all, you could feel the friendship the improvisers had with each other. They played off of each other brilliantly, it's very clear how much time they have spent improvising with each other over the years. If you've ever done an improv class then you'd probably recognize many of the games they played, and you would see how much skill goes into the impressive performances. The audience was howling every second because of how sharp and witty the performers were. If you love party games and you love improv, you need to see BEERprov.
Fringe is for everyone. If we stick our nose up at some brodude humour, especially when it's so tight production wise... Then that's a Fringe I don't want to live in. Improv was solid as well. Maybe one of the most impressive games of Seuss I have ever seen.
