Something Dada Improv Comedy

Local improv can be so hit or miss. I’ve seen maybe a half dozen Something Dada shows and in those experiences it’s been more of a hit than a miss. You never know what you’re going to get and a lot of it has to do with the audience, not the performers. My husband and I were there on Saturday night. It was the smallest crowd we’ve ever seen at the Beck with maybe 20 people at most. There was a group of 4 high schoolers in the front row. They seemed to know the cast. Their suggestions were super annoying and my husband and I would roll our eyes every time they’d say something. So, I took matters into my own hand and started yelling out suggestions and they seemed to really run with that and appreciate my input. This group has been around for 20 years and in October they’re celebrating their anniversary. It’s been nice to see them grow into a location such as the Beck Center. It’s convenient and it gives them a more professional environment to work in. Give them a chance on a Saturday night. For $ 12/ticket…we’ll be back!

Hey Unilocalers,
Here are the TOP SIX things you need to know about Something Data:
1.) Local improv can sometimes be sad but these guys were pretty funny and I definitely had a good time.
2.) I should put the emphasis on *guys* as there was only one woman performer when I went. The show would have been better with more diversity.
3.) About half of the audience is made up of those who have attended the show with friends and family of the performers being a large constituent. I’m not sure if this matters but I think it affects the vibe some.
4.) When I visited a local band called Vanity Crash played during intermission. They weren’t all that great and were somewhat awkward to watch. Thankfully they only played 2 songs.
5.) The show takes place in the Studio Theatre in the Beck Arts Center where It can probably seat around 60 people. Everyone should be able to get a good view.
6.) It was $ 12 for 2 hours of live entertainment. A pretty good value in my opinion.
I can’t say I’ll be going to every show but I would definitely check them out again if I had a free night.
Sincerely,
Neal
