"Groundhog Day" improv
Has this show happened before? Er - that isn’t a joke, I’m really asking. I’m pretty excited to see it.
What would you do if you were trapped in the same improv scene over and over and over again? What would you change?

The other night at UCB I was in line in the men’s room, and the guy in the stall and the guy at the urinal simultaneously had...
