ON THE FRINGE: Dark Comedy

POSTED: Friday, September 2, 2011, 4:30 PM

If your problem with improv comedy is that part where somebody is suddenly like "I'm a Martian" and you're like looking at him like no you are not, I can see your wallet chain, you're just a person still, then you might wanna check out Dark Comedy. This PHIT production is performed entirely with the lights off, and has some rather artful is vague-seeming constructs that define it as well. The upside of the opening night's performance: The recurring jokes and utter weirdness of it all. Coolly offputting and surprising. The downside? Maybe it went a little long thanks to those extended noise-making sessions between scenes.

Through Sept. 10, $15, The Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. MORE INFO HERE.
