The listings are popular among both romantics and cynics.

SUMMARY:Seattle Theatresports Improv  2024
DESCRIPTION:As you enter the Gum Wall\, you’ll notice a buzz of excitement in the air. Everyone here is gathered to have a good time and laugh. Families of all ages are lining up at the concession stand\, where you can smell the fresh buttered popcorn\, and over at the bar\, they are serving icy and inexpensive drinks. \nWhen you enter the theater\, you’ll feel the music’s beat. You’re experiencing Theatresports\, a high-energy improv show where teams of improv professionals create spontaneous scenes that are so hilarious\, quick-witted\, and perfectly constructed that it’s hard to believe they are made up on the spot. \nJoin us every Friday and Saturday at the Gum Wall in Pike Place Market\, with doors opening at 9 PM and the show starting at 9:30 PM. \nTheaterSports\, all the way! They are goofy\, silly\, funny\, unabashed\, clever\, witty people. I didn’t know what to expect before going but found myself laughing at practically everything they did or said. This is improv comedy at its finest. Lea A.\, 5 stars\, Yelp
