The First Improv Show He Saw

A post from him about the first improv show he ever saw:

I was in the first one I ever saw. UIL competition at Bryan High School in 2000. Group Improv was an optional event(you signed up when you got there) and so me and a few other guys from my Speech Team went for it.

If that doesn't count, then it's got to be Ed32/Gorilla Theatre which I watched sometime in late 2003, when I was planning to audition for Ed32 (I was soon not able to). Good stuff, of course.
