the Low Down: The Snack Pack Improv Sketch Comedy Show Review


Recently, I had the pleasure of attending The Snack Pack's last show of the year. For those of you who have never heard of the Snack Pack...allow me to enlighten you. 
The Snack Pack is comprised of Atlanta's funniest rising actors and comedians, in which this comedic team made its debut at Apache Café this year. Director, Crystle Clear and The Snack Pack gave Atlanta a taste of its originality and innovation with an Improv Sketch Comedy show full of crazy laughs, uncut foolery, and constant crowd participation; because clearly thats what Improv shows are all about! Well, the final show was in one word, hilarious (Hee-Larry-US), which if the rest of the year was this hilarious, I have been truly missing out. 


The show began with one of my fave comedians, Cory "Zooman" Miller, who got the show started by having us die laughing with topics about Music to Obama. Then, the Snack Pack hit the stage with their host-est with the most-est, Roderick "Reemo" Thomas, who set the tone for what the Snack Pack is really all about. Each sketch  involved each member doing a skit at the reigns of the audience which made it even funnier to watch these talented comedians come up with something off the top of their heads. Where, Reemo kept me laughing all night, thanks to his random comments while the pack performed the impromptu performance. 

BEST MOMENTS OF THE NIGHT: 
  • Morgan  playing a woman suffering from Tourette's syndrome on a dating show, 
  • Tyler doing the Heavy Metal interpretation of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs,
  •  LT playing the Co-Anchor on "The Snack Pack News" or in other words, The Snack Pack's reinterpretation of real news stories,
  • Ameer ('Southside Trill'), as the ghost of Past, Present and Future and his Salsa rendition of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, and last but not least, 
  • Big Que, as a pathological liar on a dating show 

But it didn't stop there, their "Who Stole Christmas" sketch successfully closed out the show - having me cracking up to the very end! I thoroughly enjoyed the show and all of its random antics! Unfortunately, I did not take advantage of the Free Massages (too busy shopping for accessories and clowning with the cast in the back) but I did have the infamous canned Ham, (that I nicely gave back to Reemo), so I won a free hour massage (YAY, me!). 

Anyhoot, Overall, I could say the show was funny, refreshing, and much-needed but I still feel like that wouldn't give it the full credit it deserves. Its definitely a must-see... and I look forward to attending their January 16th, 2010 show.
