However, the Queen City is fortunate to have Incredulity. Incredulity has been around for a few years and has performed at the Fringe Festival; they currently have an ongoing gig at Grammer's in Over-the-Rhine.
Incredulity has a rotating cast, including two very talented friends of mine: Alison Strickland and Dave Powell.I do not say this lightly: no member of their cast was carrying the show, and no member was clearly struggling to keep up. As a veteran improviser I can tell you it's almost always the case that there are chinks in the armor as well as stage hogs, but Incredulity comes off as a team with a strong bond, a sense of trust, and the ability to share a stage.
The only real disappointment in the performance was the audience turnout. As a city full of art nuts, we need to be showing more love to the improv side of theater. Improvisers rarely make much money (and Incredulity's shows are free)-- they live on laughter, applause and attention.
Keep up with Incredulity's show listings (mostly at Grammer's) on their Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=113157735370717

Ummm…That FB page hasn't been updated since April (well, YOUR pics are on it, but nothing else new). Any other ideas on where to find info about their next show(s)?
I have never laughed as hard as I have laughed at Improv shows. There was a group called Friends of Lucy that used to perform around Cincinnati. I literally fell off my chair laughing.
It's a good point, their page isn't updated. HOWEVER, after I joined the "group" on that page, I now get emails every time there's an event coming up. That much they DO keep up on.
