Adsit & Guasas @ UCB 2.25.09

Tonight I went to see 'Adsit & Guasas' at the UCB Theatre in Chelsea. I really was not sure what to expect from this show as the description of it was: "Scott Adist (30 Rock) and Christina Gausas (Late Night w/ Conana O'Brien) improvise an hour long one-act play that can be both hilarious and physical and heart-breaking and still, come and see for yourself." So besides that fact that I love '30 Rock', I was super intrigued. And even now I'm not sure how I feel about what I saw. It started off a little bit slow, but once they were both on the same page, it seemed almost impossible that they were improvising. Each line worked perfectly with the scene at hand and they had great chemistry together on stage. Also I was very impressed with both of their memories. At one point, Gausas had listed five men's names in the scene and then later on she referenced the same five names. This show wasn't exactly funny the entire way through, but it certainly did have a certain charm that made it enjoyable to watch. The pair perform this show on several Wednesdays each month. The next time you can catch this show is this upcomming Wednesday (March 4) and also March 18th, 2009, both at 9:30 PM.
