PRAISE FOR OUR PERFORMANCES

I wanted to see Hitch*Cocktails for ages, and when I finally did, I kicked myself for waiting so long. Hitch*Cocktails is a smart, silly, drunken romp through an Alfred Hitchcock fever dream. Deceptively simple, yet deftly executed by an ensemble of gifted improvisers, unspools Hitchcock's universe to create a story both satisfying and hilarious. Whether you're a Hitchcock fan, or just want to see some genuinely funny improv, Hitch*Cocktails is a fantastic night out!”
