Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Funny Games

If rapid-fire wit is your preferred style of comedy, chances are you’re already familiar with improv outlet “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” ... maybe even the earlier British version. Though the eight-season Drew Carey iteration is off the air, its wisecrack-generating gimmicks — and its stars — endure. Canadian-American yukster Ryan Stiles, also of “The Drew Carey Show” fame (remember Lewis?), heads spin-off touring group “Whose Live Anyway?” Copilots Greg Proops, Chip Esten and Jeff B. Davis help put stitches in onlookers’ sides at a 90-minute, audience-participatory round of shenanigans in Rut-Vegas this week. The puns and impromptu sing-alongs of this quartet, declared “the world’s best” by Portland’s Oregonian, are sure to tickle your funny bone.
