Action Movie Mad Libs

SensibleChuckleTheatre—The King’s Head Pub

This troupes strength lies in their audience interaction. Their ability to meet the crowd in the middle through the first 15 minutes is impressive, and delightful. That being said, 15 minutes is a long time to set up a show, as the crowd is expected to provide 18 items for them to riff on. The 3 performers play off each other well, nearly every joke lands, and they have mastered action movie tropes, but their heavy opening shot them in the foot, as in the performance I saw they ran 10 minutes long. They understand exactly what makes a fun, blockbuster action movie- something that doesn’t make you think too hard in the best possible way.
