I'm a long time fan of improv and comedy writing. It's painfully obvious someone from Jet City wrote those negative reviews about Unexpected Productions who is by far the superior company when it comes to actually improvising. Unexpected Productions revolutionized improv in Seattle. They are the reason companies like Jet City Improv exist! Whenever I'm in Seattle (which isn't as often as it used to be) I try to see an improv show. Unexpected Productions Theater Sports show is the one I recommend, hands down! Especially if you're an adult, although I've seen this group handle an audience with kids in it too. The last time I saw it there was a birthday party of kids and a birthday party for a 40 year old along with two bachelorette parties. The Theater Sports cast handled everyone with professionalism and showmanship, being sure to tease everyone as well. They even ripped into an obnoxious heckler in a very entertaining way by shutting him up and getting his friends to laugh at his stupidity! I will always be grateful to Unexpected Productions for the years of great memories they've given me and will hopefully continue to give me in the years to come.

Brilliant, daring, intelligent theater has the audience both laughing and thinking.

My wife and I were visiting from Louisville,Ky and wanted to do something downtown, so a good friend recommended Seeing Unexpected Productions' Theater Sports show and it was really entertaining. The performers were really creative in their characters and story lines. They gave one of the best performances we've seen in a while. The judges and audience participation really completed the experience. I'm sure we'll go again next time we visit.

I had a ball seeing this group of actors perform. They each bring something unique to the table, and the chemistry between them is obvious. Each scene happened very organically, which added to the(no pun) unexpectedness of the performance. I liked that it was kept light hearted, but at the same time, the performance made some good points about current events/issues we are all facing. I can't wait to go back to Seattle to see them again!!

This is the perfect example of what improv should be. I have never seen any other ensemble that can free fall with such grace than Unexpected Productions. Their shows can be funny as hell, and yet at times can be serious in mood and very moving; Improv is not always about gags and this team knows that. And I have seen enough shows to notice the wide range of talent that UP is made up of. This place is perfect for dates, family outings, and just general fun times. See them soon!

U.P. is not a bad group... but you can't compare them to Jet City Improv because it's like apples and oranges. Oranges are funnier than apples.
