Where else can you get an enjoyable comedic performance for $10? I cannot believe anyone would think differently. The BYOB aspect is great too and gives visitors a real affordable option for a night out. We have been two years in a row. This summer was even better than last. The Bit Players work up some energy so that we felt that they were into their performances even though they do this every night. I just saw the "Whose LIne is it Anyway" actors at a fundraiser in NH and these RI performers were just as good. Keep it up and we'll be back next summer.
We were looking for something to do one evening in Newport and found the Bit Players online. We were lucky enough to get last minute tickets -- I would make reservations in the future. It's BYOB and there is a liquor store half a block away.It was hilarious and we had a great time! The audience participation is key and it's definitely adult entertainment - not for the kiddos.
My husband and I went here to see the Bit Players do improve and we had a blast! We can't wait to go again and we will be bringing friends and family with us nest time we go. If you are in Newport this is a MUST SEE!! It is BYOB (although they do provide soda and water) and they don't take credit cards but the tickets aren't expensive.
I've gone to see the bit players twice now and they were amazing each time! We LOVE Vlad!! I thought it wouldn't be as funny the second time but was completely wrong as the show is always different. It's easy to call and leave a message for reservations and its always fun to bring a bottle of something to sip in between laughs. Truly talented bunch and such a great and unique way to spend your night. I'm going back again tonight and am looking forward to cracking up the whole time! Even if a particular skit isn't as funny as the others, the main guy usually makes fun of whoever messed up and you end up laughing all the same. They're so personable and I recommend this show to everyone older than 18!
Caught the Bit Players Improv on New Year's Eve. Very clever comedy troupe. We could have stayed for all three shows because each one is governed by the words thrown out by the audience. The 9PM show was sold out so caught the 7PM show. Small theater so all seats are good. Plus you can BYOB. What a deal. When the show was over there were at least five excellent restaurants to walk to.Gotta love Broadway!
This was a really pleasant surprise. Such a great cast, Improv, talented group. Amazing bargain, walked there from the town center. BYOB with soda and cups provided. BARGAIN Priced. We will visit again, certainly.
The Firehouse Theater packs in the crowds especially on the weekends and for good reasons. The improve troupe was very funny and creative. The audience adds to the laughs as the players ask for ideas for their skits. Quick thinking and acting ranged from good to hysterical.Definitely worth taking in a show. Reserve ahead as the seats fill up.
Went last September with sister and friends, wanted to go back in July but wasn't able to work into our schedule. This is an inexpensive treat...a lot of fun and it's BYOB, which really keeps the cost down. Tips can be given at the end and it's well worth the money.
Thank you so much for attending one of our encore performances on Saturday night and taking the time to write a review! We are happy to make all of our guests laugh more. While our encore shows are at 10PM on Saturdays, about an hour and $10; our regular shows are at 8PM on Friday AND Saturday, are about an hour and 45 minutes with an intermission and are $15/person. ALL SHOWS ARE BYOB! We also do special event shows, private performances and extra shows around holidays and in the summer so always keep an eye on our calendar for dates, times and prices. Just want to put that out there in case anyone has a little confusion when reading these reviews. Keep laughing.
We were lucky to attend an improv perormance of the Bit Players and had a fantastic time! Very fun and a nice change of pace from usual travel entertainment.
