Although it relies on the premise of being an alcohol-fueled sketch show for an alcohol-fueled audience, Ball is funny enough that it could even be enjoyed, gasp, while sober. The show is fast and punchy, with a combination of bathroom humor and wit. Sure, it's slightly heavier on pee and sex jokes than on clever satire, but when you're listening to a choir sing a spirited a cappella tune about “nuts and balls,” you don't mind the imbalance. Rollicking and raucous, the show rarely feels sloppy, although the audience is encouraged to come as sloppy as they'd like.

I came into this show ready to not laugh. I wasn't drinking and was in a bad mood, but by the end my face hurt from laughing. I'd really go see this.

It was good, but I drank waaay too fast and got a headache. I guess that's not their fault, though. I liked the musical stuff. And the DRINK FIGGGHTS! Very frunny.

This show was what I needed to see at 11:40pm. Funny and Fast. The best way to kill an hour.

This show rocked. I really didn't even want to go out that night, but my friends talked me into it. By the end my face hurt from laughing. This is a great show for you and a group to go to.
