Our first sketch show went off without a hitch and we performed to nearly a full house. Thank you very much for making our 90th show that great. Also, big thanks to Eric Harvey for being our musical guest!<br /><br />This new year will see the Rats continue to grow and become an improv and sketch force to be reckoned with. We hope that you will stay with us as we expand into new and exciting territory. We will have a new show to announce in the coming future, so stay tuned!<br /><br />Having said that, you can still expect the same great stuff you've seen before. We will be back to business as usual at UNCLE BONG'S PIZZERIA in Downtown Suisun at 203 Main St on January 15th at 7pm. Come on out. We miss seeing you guy!
