I love improv, but what was especially striking about this show was how theatrical it was. The group was willing to go for the emotional choices - sadness, laughter, anger - without trying to "make it funny". For me, this marks great improv. Wonderfully witty scenes, sharp quick humour and an all-around great time.

I've seen this improve show twice {and they don't even use the same material from one show to another ...how amazing is that} and they absolutely blew the audience away in less than 3 minutes Wed night. Amazing sight to see. These folks are way talented , funny and I could easily imagine seeing them a third time especially since for the Sun 11:30 am show they're serving bagels and either mamosas or Moses. [ I'm pretty sure she said mamosas but a heads up just in case it really is Moses] Even sober you'll laugh your ass off. Catch them now before they're playing to sold out crowds in the newly revitalized and sanitized for your protection Filmore Noir.

A lot of Fringe shows are getting hype, but how about some love for Oui Be Negroes? This is the kind of improv I love - seeing the performers in their element and loving what they are doing. In the show I saw, cast member Shaun had an opportunity in a scene to go off an incredible rant about the things in our society that she's had enough of!! It was an amazingly passionate impromtu performance, and her fellow cast members were skilled enough to let her take center stage for a few minutes of Fringe glory.

The problem with improv at the Fringe is that - if you make it to one show and enjoy it - you'll have that gnawing sensation that you're missing something when you can't get to the other performances. Oh well - it's a good problem to have, and I'm glad that I saw one of the Oui Be Negroes' performances at least! Shaun is a strong, intelligent, leonine presence onstage, and she doesn't miss a thing, Hans is sweetly innocent (or at least he was when I saw him), and Anastasia Elizondo is captivating - I especially enjoyed watching her as Hans's "date". And I keep wondering what else I missed, and will miss, unfortunately, during their other performances! You don't have to, though - check them out.

This group really knows what it's doing... a steal at 8 bucks.

Oui Be Negroes were so great tonight. One of the female actors (do not know her name), gave one of the best monolouges to the delight of the small audience. All the performers are engaging to watch. This is a must see show. I'm glad I went.

This show kicked some serious ass. In addition to the best improv rant I've ever seen (by Shaun Landry), all three have a very smooth, creative, spontaneous connection- this troupe has something real and impressive to offer... a specificity and level of fluid creativity that is rare and a delight.... a must see!

I really enjoyed the Oui Be Negroes performance on September the 11th. I have never seen improvisation except for being taken to Bay Area Theatre Sports for its Theatre Sports performance. This show was nothing I was expecting. They started off the set with taking a suggestion of a song and making the lyrics different to a jazz like beat. Then they did scenes on what they came up with. It was so incredible to watch. There was laughter and sighs, and giggles and even poignant nods from the audience. My friend and I fought afterwards if they had not made it up. She thought it was scripted. I wish to go back to see if they do the same thing over. If this is what San Francisco Improv is right now, I wish to see more. They wrote in their program "We Hope we don't suck" You did not Oui Be Negroes.

Really good improv. Shaun Landry and Ana Elizondo really were fantastic. I'm not a good judge of improv, but the show was really funny and poignant. Not the kind of show like Whose Line (which is what I was expecting), but the way they did it seemed like I was watching scripted theatre. So well done! They really battled a very hot space.

I personally cannot wait to see Oui Be Negroes at the Fringe. I had a chance to see them twice. Once at Spanganga, and a second time at The San Francisco Improv Festival. They are possibly (next to True Fiction Magazine) the best improv ensemble I have seen in years. Forget the fact that the majority is black. These people are really, really good improvisers. I would bet you would have to get your tickets early for this show. It was pretty full when I saw them at The Improv Festival.
