"...In sum, the attempted shoehorning of the show’s comedy into an organized structure, paired with a core “item” that was not ripe for much comedy, resulted in a show that was not as successful as it could have been. I completely understand that some concepts offered via audience suggestions are required by improv-law to be worked through during a show, but surely if a concept is clearly not bearing fruit, it can be evolved slightly."

"...The sparse stage is filled with talented and enthusiastic performers who arrange and rearrange a handful of plastic chairs as they move briskly from one MLM-induced predicament to the next. Each actor brings something unique to the story, whether a gift for comic timing, a creative spin on the action, or a priceless one-liner in the midst of the lunacy. If you've experienced one of these schemes first-hand or just marveled at their staying power, "Not a Pyramid Scheme" is a side-splitting look at what happens to the people who buy into MLM "opportunities" and the people who try to get them out."
