Dad's Garage

You know, that place where things don't ever get finished, and directions get cast aside. It might be a safe haven with chaotically organized yard supplies hanging on the walls and stashed on dusty shelves. Or maybe you're thinking of the place where a car hasn't been able to park for almost a decade because you're parent's super power is saving things from the garbage. 

You're wrong, no matter what you were thinking (unless you're talking about an improv comedy theatre here in Atlanta). The place is Dad's Garage Theatre Company, and their improv is ridiculous. Ridiculous is the perfect word. I even looked it up on dictionary.com, it says  'adjective, meaning laughable.' That's exactly what Dad's was, incredibly laughable.  They have all kinds of different improv shows including a circus themed soap opera, something called Fingertips, and tonight's main event: TheatreSports. 

TheatreSports is two teams of 3 competing against each other in various games and scenarios. Tonight must have been my lucky night, because the troupe was extra hilarious for the MTV Made cameras. I haven't quite figured it out, but they brought a girl on stage for a skit where they randomly busted out into free style rapping. The story for the cameras was that she was being 'Made' into a pageant queen, with freestyling as her talent? I'm not really sure, but thats what I deduced from the situation.  The girl was actually pretty funny in the skit. 
All of the skits were funny, but the funniest of all was a Ballet about Swine Flu. Yeah, let your imagination wander. They took it further.

Overall its a great show, hilarious people, and worth the fifteen bucks.  O yeah, they sell beer there too.
