Can you tell me something about the "ratings" of the different shows you offer? I'm not a prude, don't mind a few profanities here and there, but I don't like it when the show gets just filthy. That's why I have not been to a comedy club for ages.

I'd say for the most part the shows are not terribly crass here as opposed to other places. Io teaches their improvisers to use their highest intelligence, however it still does happen. Stick to the earlier shows because they have a different expectation of the audience. In terms of teams, Virgin Daquiries on weds is really good and they're an all female team on weds that doesn't usually go for the super innapropriate jokes and it's free. Or try seeing a musical improv show like the Deltones. Shakespeare at 8 pm is a good option too. Although, with improv you can never predict where it will go, but here are some places to start.

Agreed. I saw the Shakespeare improv show a few weeks ago and it didnt have too much language really. There were some "suggestive" items but it was more "you finish the thought in your head" than "Hey. Here's a joke about blank."

I have been to several shows and I guess it really depends their mood. None have been over bearing ronchy though. I highly recommend going. On Wednesday there's a free show at 8. Go check it out then and decide from there.
