Unexpected Productions

Happy 2009! I rang in the new year at a fantastic improv show by Unexpected Productions at the Market Theater on Post Alley. Now, as far as being "Off Pike," this isn't far, but it has that off-the-beaten-track feel that I am looking for. The directions I was given by a man on the street were as follows: "Walk through the alley until you get to the pig in the market. Then go downstairs, and it's just past the gum wall." Oh Seattle... As for the show itself, it was rather brilliant. Like all on-the-spot comedy, it had its ups and downs, but even the downs had me giggling, and I nearly wet myself at some of the ups. And there's a bar, how can you go wrong?
