I was able to see Shear Madness with Yelp and wow what a treat! The show is a murder mystery, and just absolutely phenomenal. The second half involves audience participation, but it's not mandatory if you're more on the shy side. The actors were incredible and very funny. They brought some modern twists and definitely some Boston jokes which I enjoyed. You will laugh a lot and have a great time trying to figure everything out. Overall, I think this would be a great show to see for locals and tourists alike. Perfect for a rainy day as well if you're in the area! read more

Shear Madness - A Comedy Whodunit - Performing Arts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Shear Madness was frankly one of the shows that really surprised me in terms of quality and fun that the crew was able to bring out from their audiences. With around 80-100 seats, the show was pretty intimate and fun. I love how their performers were able to adjust to and roll with each audience's feedback...and many times, returned with even funnier responses. It does take a talented crew to be able to work together and do a bit of improv to keep the audiences highly engaged and I definitely thought the team of performers I saw did such a fantastic job that night. I honestly went in without much expectations but definitely came out really happy that I got to see thus show. Many audiences felt the same as well. P.S. restrooms are underground and behind the stage...so you may not be able to get in there until they start letting the audiences in. Also, they have a bar downstairs so you can enjoy your show with your fav drinks, too. read more

Never being to an improv show before I couldn't have asked for a better first show than Shear Madness!! Intended to run for only 1 month, Shear Madness has been in production for 38 strong years and still at it! & I can see why the show is such a success- the actors were all hilarious and amazingly talented and the whole murder mystery concept kept us on our toes the whole night. Each joke was delivered seamlessly and I found myself laughing all throughout. I especially loved how they incorporated a lot of jokes about Boston and current events, which made the show very relatable. Also gotta love the audience interaction- you could see how skilled the actors were as they joked around with us and were open to the ways that we influenced the plot. Highly recommend watching this show- I guarantee you that you'll have a lot of laughs and a whole lot of fun!! Here's to many more years, Shear Madness!! read more

Shear Madness - A Comedy Whodunit - Performing Arts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Thanks, Yelp! I missed the show in late 2018 with Yelp, but glad that they hosted us again this year in 2019. I have been to the production in NYC with Yelp Manhattan. So it was interesting to see how they produce this show in Boston. The Boston jokes were pretty solid and enjoyable. I enjoyed most of them. The only thing that bothers me is the cast members occasionally laugh at their own jokes. This also happened at the NYC production, but I don't know how I feel about it. In one way, they should be completely in character. On the other hand, I do like the casual nature of the production. I think this production has been at this venue for a long time. However, I wish they could upgrade the space to a different site. The seating was really crammed. The tables are too close to each other. I very much prefer the NYC stage, where it was hosted in an off-Broadway theater. Also, the bathroom at this venue is absolutely dirty and gross. Definitely avoid it at all costs. read more

I was extra lucky to have been chosen to receive a free ticket to this show from Yelp. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU YELP!!! Believe it or not, I saw this show at the same venue about 30 years ago. At that time I went with my family after a birthday dinner and everyone had a great time. Forward 30 years to present, and I attended with a few other lucky Yelpers and a regular paying audience. The stage was the same, and of course the actors were different and the story line was a tad modernized, but basically it was the same funny life of a hair salon with a twist. i loved it! Freakin Hilarious!!!. The venue is small and they pack you in, but somehow you have a great view from all areas of the room. This is also a semi interacting performance so get ready to speak your opinion and have FUN!! The bar is small and always has a line. Make sure you get double or triple drinks if you want to drink through the show. I purchased one before the show and another during intermission which was sufficient for me. The only downside of the entire evening are the chairs, hard wooden ones, definitely the same chairs which were old 30 years ago...LOL... but I think that adds to the interaction of an old hair salon. I give this show and the very talented improve actors/actresses a Solid 4 Stars read more

I've come to see this show a handful of times over the past two decades and every time it is an absolute hoot. The show is interactive with the audience with unique outcomes each time and the endless barrage of jokes stay relevant to current popular culture. read more

Theater, like any other form of art is always a touchy subject, so, as a disclaimer: this is opinion only, I was a restaurant critic in another life, not a theater critic. Anyways, here I sit, teetering as if on a seesaw between a three and four star rating... What sealed the three star deal was two things... first, while the show wasn't bad at all, I don't know if I would say I'm a fan, A-OK seems a more accurate representation. Next, I have a friend who is a massive fan of all things performing arts... and I am not sure if I would recommend her to go see this... although if she asks me, I wouldn't tell her not to go. As another Yelper had mentioned, there is a sprinkle of improv, a large portion of the show is scripted. Audience participation doesn't play a nominal role, but it doesn't play a large role either... somewhere in between is all I can say without spoiling the story. Speaking of audience participation, I really liked that they give audience members the option to participate, rather than outright picking on people. Even though it could happen once or twice, it is very often low key... as in everyone won't be staring at you. Quite a nice blend of humor too, with some of it being classic slapstick, some malapropisms, jokes, locally-themed references, and loads of references to current happenings (those most would have heard of, but not antiquated ones either). I like that there's something for everyone humor-wise... only I have to admit I did not have the uproarious reactions my fellow audience members had. Actors definitely had a great energy level, and loved what they do. This made the show itself lovely and high energy. While it doesn't happen often, when someone on stage just breaks out laughing it says about good things about the atmosphere. Seating wise, you are always close to the action. I do have to say that at some tables (as if in a restaurant) the seating was not particularly comfortable, and where I was sitting, my view was partially obstructed by a pipe. Alright, this all seems like good stuff... why only 3 stars again? Well, it really comes down to a question of value. Even though I went as part of a Yelp Elite event; I can't picture myself paying a little over $50 for a ticket. For $25 I'd probably go again, but $50 is a little excessive. read more

Wife won tIckets online to a Wednesday night showing. Shout out Mix 104! We happened to be there on the 40th anniversary with a huge group of former actors which was cool but also kind of annoying- so we didn't have your typical show exPerience. Our seats were vEry good in the small basement theater. We were in director's chairs which were kind of uncomfortable for two hours. The show was kind of slow starting for my liking but realLy picked up and was really funny. The actors were bright and quick witted. Ended up being a great show. read more

Amazing!!! Came here as a guest for a Yelp Elite event and we were laughing the entire time. The show was not only hilarious but also interactive, so there were both scripted parts and a good amount of improv. The actors stayed for a Q&A session at the end and all of them were so down to earth and likable. Everyone working there, from the security to the ushers to the bartender (drinks were good and strong!) were friendly and made the experience truly wonderful. Will be recommending this to my friends and family and anyone else who will listen. read more

Note to self: Don't ask questions if you don't want to accidentally volunteer yourself (especially if you're sitting in the front row). I watched the show on 3/9/17 with fellow Elites and some Northeastern students. I'm itching to go back with some family and friends just to see the rotation of other cast members! I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived at 7:40PM, but we headed down the staircase to the actual quaint theater. (Check out my review for the Charles Playhouse venue itself.) I had a prime seat front and center right in front of their real salon sink. Surprisingly they actually started the pre-show antics at 7:50PM. Apparently Shear Madness is one of the longest running shows out there 37 years if I'm not mistaken! My SO's mother remembered seeing this several decades ago in Boston. I laughed so much during the show and it was a much needed break from work. I loved how they incorporated recent news and contemporary issues into the skits. So many Baaahhhston jokes and I loved Baahhhbara's over the top accent. All of the actors really had fun with their roles and made us roar with laughter. I agree with Manfred on his observation that perhaps people who aren't familiar with the Boston area and recent news may struggle with some of the jokes. After the show we were lucky enough to have a Q&A session with the actors and take photos with the amazing set/props! Highly recommend the show! We could all use more laughing! read more

A phenomenal fun show with a lot of Yelp Elite. Although the show starts out corny it really develops. Forget about Broadway. The local flawah makes it entertaining. The actors were phenomenal. TB12 from Mehfahd must have been an original rather then an act. My office is next to the Medford police station. I see those guys every day. However, recent immigrants, especially from no humor countries may struggle. The presumably Chinese college kids in the audience only managed strained laughs. Nevah mind. It's fun. The theater has a Bah. Makes for a great night. read more

Shear Madness is a wickedly funny murder mystery play that is part script, part improv, and all hilarious! The audience vote picks the outcome if who the murderer is at each viewing, but there are endings written where each character could be the killer. Last night was my 3rd time seeing the play. I highly recommend Shear Madness. I promise you'll have a great time, and you'll hear & see things in a 2nd viewing that weren't in the 1st. For example, new topical to local & world news jokes are written in every week. And if you're with a group, don't be surprised if your group name appears in the show. Go to the show ready to have fun, and speak up during the audience participation portions! The show is PG with some racy jokes, but as long as you're high school aged or over, they'll appear pretty tame. read more

Shear Madness - A Comedy Whodunit - Cast for the 11/12/15 show - Performing Arts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I bought a ticket for the show Shear Madness 3 months ago in the center of the orchestra. 4 days before the show the ticket office informed me the show was cancelled. I called the ticket office, but the guy didn't give me time to check my schedule, as a result, I got a ticket at the time I couldn't make. I contacted the office again and haven't heard any response. The ticket office and people who organize the show act very unprofessional. Lost my money and had a negative experience. read more

Such an incredible show! So glad I had the opportunity to meet the cast & be part of an extremely hilarious & interactive show! Everything was very punny & there were so many clever lines! Definitely would go back again & experience it all over again. The set was also very well made & I loved the color scheme. Thank you everyone for an amazing performance!! You guys are awesome! read more

I didn't really know what to expect as this was my first time seeing a theater show that was so interactive. Make sure you watch it carefully because you will get asked questions later. Lol. My only complaint is that as a non-english speaker, I didn't catch some of the jokes or references. Otherwise I had fun and I would definitely watch it again or bring friends in bc every time the story ends differently apparently so it is somewhat improvised. read more

Shear Madness - A Comedy Whodunit - Performing Arts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was my second time seeing Shear Madness, and it was great fun! It's been 8 years since the first time around, and it was still really engaging and worth experiencing. The show's been going on for more than 3 decades, but the script had been updated with contemporary references and local riffs. Although it's not the most original of comedies, I still found myself constantly cracking up and loving the chemistry among the actors. Yes, there are many stereotypes, moments of innuendo, and roll-your-eye puns -- but they went with the slapstick, campy feel of the whodunit plot. The theater is small, with the front row being mere feet from the stage (some within the splash zone -- I'll leave it at that). The intimate atmosphere made audience participation fluid and even encouraged conversations with the cast members during the 15 minute intermission. I do wish the seating had been a bit more comfortable. The Tall Man and I were also sitting to the side of the stage, which meant we had to shift around to see all the action. But still, it was a thoroughly entertaining night! Thanks to the cast and the Charles Playhouse -- and to Yelp for the tickets! read more

You can tell these performers truly enjoy their occupations and working with each other. This show is a knee slapper with many familiar/relatable references to residents living in the Boston area. There is a bit of everything for the whole family from comedy to mystery. A job well done! I will be sure to tell my friends and family all about it! I apologize for no photographs folks, photography isn't welcome during the show! read more

I was able to go thanks for a free ticket (thank you, Yelp!) and I absolutely loved the show. It had relevant funny jokes, it was a little interactive with the cast, and had me laughing the whole time. The actors and actresses were highly energetic and could really work the crowd. I would love to go back again and bring other friends to experience it. read more

Super fun interactive play in small theatre. Much more fun for locals who know Boston as many of the jokes depend on that. Not going to give away any spoilers.....but very enjoyable. (Also....have drinks and snacks available for purchase.....so drinking allowed during entire play.) Casual environment, and would make a fun date or group activity. read more

I had the opportunity to attend a Yelp Elite event here a few weeks ago and watched Shear Madness. I came without any specific expectations. I just thought it would be a great comedy to see. When I arrived at the venue, I thought it's the exact same place where I saw Blue Man Group. After getting in line and through security, I was told at the "Will Call" booth that it's actually next door!!! So embarrassing!!! Make sure you don't make the same mistake as I did :) When I came in, I heard a lot of laughter from the basement where the show was supposed to take place. I got very excited thinking it must be really good! We were able to grab the front seats as Elites. But honestly the whole place was very small and intimate so you don't need front seats to see the whole thing. I don't want to give away to much of the details in the comedy but I have to say it's brilliant!!! The acting was amazing and the way they're able to engage audience is just incredible. Please do yourself a favor and go watch this when you get a chance. This is a show that can't be missed!!! read more

Count me in as another grateful Elite who was able to attend thanks to Yelp! The show was fabulous! Hilarious, talented cast! When you go (because you WILL go...), be sure to pay attention to everything so you can be a part of the show. It's very interactive....the audience members who participate really make the show more fun (because the casts improv/feed upon what the audience say). Really, you won't find a better ensemble (but shoutout to Patrick Shea and Ellen Colton who have such an esteemed stage presence!)- they really work together so amazingly! Thank you to the Charles Playhouse for your hospitality, but especially for accommodating us and giving us good seats :) Thank you to Yelp and the Charles Playhouse for the tickets and the free drink :) Sorry I didn't get to stay behind to meet everyone. Next time I hope to hang out with my Fellow Elite! read more

This is a mystery comedy show that interacts with the audience who gets to decide who of the actors killed the person in the show. The two best things about them: They use current social media events and news to make the jokes more modern, as well as they run nightly shows. This would be great for people of all ages, everyone is welcome here. they serve alcohol at the venue and snacks. Is very funny, I always recommend them. read more

Intimate comedy with a sprinkle of improv. A little mystery and all comedy. Don't take this play too seriously but seriously engage and have fun. The space is not large so you'll be able to enjoy from almost any vantage point. This is great for groups and friends who enjoy a comedy play. read more

This is my first comedy show and it was the BEST comedy show or even skit. I didn't have high expectations because I usually feel like these things are cringe, but I was wrong. You can tell how passionate the actors are and that they love what they are doing. Everything was all original and how they incorporated the audience into the show was fantastic. Drinks they have are strong too at the bar. Totally made me want to go to more comedy shows. A++ performance and everyone was very nice and caring. read more

When it comes to comedy, I'm a harsh critic. I don't laugh easily and I don't laugh hard. When it came to Shear Madness though, I laughed the entire time. I thought it was hilarious. There was a good mix of classic jokes and updated references. It kept me laughing in a way I don't often. I was so pleasantly surprised. I love the concept of a murder mystery and the audience involvement. It made it more interactive. The fact that the show changes night to night is also awesome. Murder mysteries are often dead once you know who's done it but creating new stories and endings is an awesome way to combat it. The bar was also a great addition to the night. The drinks weren't skimped down. Having a full and strong drink makes it even funnier ;) Over all, an awesome evening and worth a trip (even for the skeptics like me) read more

I came here for a Yelp Elite event and had no idea what to expect. Well, I loved it. The theater was small and intimate and the actors were downright hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the show. I especially enjoyed the part of the play where the cast involved the audience! I was impressed with the actors' ability to think on their feet and deliver sassy comebacks to the audience's questions. The Q&A at the end of the show was a nice touch. It's clear the actors all have a tight bond, which translates to some pretty good comedy. I would definitely recommend this to a friend! read more

By no means am I into the art or theatre scene, but this show was amazing! Going for a Yelp Elite event, we got front row seats so we could see the action up close. The cast was fantastic and able to find clever ways to effortlessly weave puns, current events, pop culture, dirty jokes, and Boston jokes into their dialogue. The interaction between the cast and the audience was great and had a few memorable lines (find me on facebook is just one of them). A 15 minute break bisects the two portions of the play. I will not spoil the show - you just have to go watch it! read more

Easily one of THE BEST comedies I have seen. What a brilliant performance. No wonder this show is the longest running show in Boston. Understandably so. I really have to restrain myself from saying anything about the plot or anything at all - period. Take my words for it. It is hilarious beyond words. There were so many best parts during the performance. Here are my thoughts on why no one who is in Boston or visiting should miss this - what I would easily call - a Hidden Gem: - Hidden Gem because after living all these years here, I had never seen any commercials or ads or nothing about it. Makes me wonder what kind of hole was I living under so far? (Thank you Yelp Elite Squad and Mr. D!) - The basic plot / premise of the show is simple yet made super awesome, simply for one reason: The brilliant (2nd time now - can't use the word anymore!) performances by each and every one of the cast members - The stage and it's distance from the audience / seats makes the entire show a very intimate affair. Sometimes, the way the actors interact with the audience, you almost feel like you are part of the cast yourself. Totally loved that aspect - The set design itself is very charming and I believe they keep changing the decor depending on the season and such - Pro tip 1: Try to pay attention to the events that happen during the show. All the details, every move, while laughing out loud with every scene. The audience plays a big role in the way the show ends - Pro tip 2: If you are reading reviews that are trying to disclose the plot or how things unfold, stop reading. I was glad I did that when I came across reviews that tried to reveal the plot. It is a must you experience the first viewing like a virgin - Pro tip 3: Related to pro tip 1 - try to drink less - Pro tip 4: NA, never mind. It would be borderline spoiler. I cannot go back on my own words. Honestly, I cannot wait to go back. I'm sure I will wait a couple of months, till the itch is unbearable. But I bet it won't be too long. This is one of those things that I would love to do whenever friends or family visit and want to do something fun and I - selfishly - would like to avoid the typical tourist spots. This one would definitely be on my top 10 for sure. Also, was great to see fellow Yelp friends and made a few new. Always the best times with the fun squad! Finally, I think it's time for me to join ancestry.com Despite having no connection / lineage whatsoever, was called 'this Spanish hottie here' by one of the cast members - during the live performance. LMAO!!!! Couldn't stop laughing and crying out loud!! (especially given this has happened to me a buncha times before) Muchas Gracias Amigos (that's how far my Spanish goes) :o) for a riot of a night. read more

Had a fantastic time hanging out with some ELITE YELPERS in BOSTON. First time ever at the Charles Play House. Great comedy! SHEER MADNESS!!! What an adventure! Hung out with some great folds, met new YELPERS and sat with the cast at a Q&A after the show. Not giving away any of the great secrets the show holds - see it for yourself! We had great seats, practically on the stage. But there is no bad seat in the house! read more

The venue is quaint. Small Entrance, down stairs to view show. Tiny 1 person Tables but they put 2 chairs. Front row you are very close to the stage. Up front and personably. The comedy is funny, pokes fun of life today, politics, technology, references to today and the past to spark memories and give you a laugh. You the audience become involved to answer the Question who killed... Watch for clues. There is a small bar in back sells liquor/ sodas / water. Restrooms are tiny and in back of stage. It was fun. read more

Thank you #yelpelite for giving my husband and I the opportunity to enjoy this show! There are no reviews on this site (or any other on this planet) that can fully explain in words how funny and fabulous is show is. It's just one of those "you just gotta go and see for yourself" kind of things. I have not laughed this hard in SO LONG and neither has my husband (and he's not very laughable to begin with....yes I know..sucks for him LOL). The story line is fun, the improv is hilarious and the actors were enjoying the show as much as we were. It's incredible! Just one disclaimer - come with an open mind. I am looking forward to taking my BFF when she visits this summer - I cannot recommend this show enough! read more

Excellent comedy/interactive/mystery style play that immerses the audience in hilarity, suspense and wanting to go back for more! I don't want to spoil it for everyone but this is a great play to take your friends and relatives as the best part is being able to share your thoughts and ideas with your peers during the act. There isn't a moment where you are not transfixed with the practiced ease that the actors take the audience through their interactions with each other. The most important aspect is the improv. You can tell that the show is going to be different each time since each actor/actress seems to create opportunities for themselves to insert their own creations into the mix. This cements the idea that you will enjoy a different experience every time without the entire act seeming stale. Another element that I usually study is the facial expressions and reactions from the stimulus being arrayed against the play group. This is definitely an experienced bunch from the smooth emotional transitions of shock, anger, slyness and confusion etc. Location: The theater is located down a street where might seem sketchy at first but don't let that bother you. The stage itself is in the lower levels of the Charles Playhouse. The space is cramped but actually works in your favor since you are much closer and see the entire play without being bothered by distance or height. Everyone seated has a good view albeit sometimes the poles block part of the view but usually only momentarily as the actors/actresses move around the stage aplenty. Refreshments: There's no food in the establishment but there is a small bar in the back where drinks are moderately expensive. Overall a very positive experience and will definitely go again to see the fresh materials that they come up with. Tips for those who are going for the first time. Try to remember the order of events and who does what and when as that allows you to become a key witness to help solve the mystery. read more

I came to Shear Madness with a party of four on Friday, September 16th for the 8pm show. We were seated in the right rear corner. To put it pretty simply, this show is awesome. It is a comedy, who dunnit with a twist at the end, that I won't reveal on this review. (Maybe others have, I don't know) The cast of characters are excellent, and the show was funny and had you thinking the entire time. About 35% of the show there is a lot of audience questions and participation; however, you need to be paying attention during the whole show. The only problem I had was that it is sometimes difficult to hear the actors and actresses over the loud air conditioning unit when sitting in the rear of the theater. read more

I've been wanting to go to Shear Madness for a few years, but never really got around to it. I finally made it earlier this week! I wasn't really sure what to expect. But I had a blast! The characters were awesome, and not to mention all very attractive (I missed half of the important details because I was busy staring at the male actors). I have no idea how they played their characters so well, while still being hilarious. Only once did they actually all crack up, and that was mostly due to the amazingness of the gay hairdresser. Actually, he pretty much made the show. I wanted to be best friends with him. I don't want to ruin too much of the play, so just go and see it and experience it for yourself- it's definitely worth going once! I do think the show is a bit overpriced, so look for discounts online (I had a AAA discount, which made the tickets about $30- a much more appropriate price than the $50 or so online). I think you can also get half price if you buy tickets same-day. You'll love it! read more

We love this! Watched it multiple times and will come back for more. Hysterical - light hearted and such amazing chemistry and talent with the cast. Can't wait to see it again! Such fun. read more

This is an experience you won't have anywhere else. The small theater allows for a more intimate environment with which to interact with the cast. Photography is strictly forbidden, including selfies, to keep the mystery, and all the secrets they have. The show in some ways is very much like those whom enjoy role playing like RPGs, LARPing, D&D, because it's often ad libbed, and the jokes are tailored to the audience. At 1 point the cast members even cracked themselves up with on the spot jokes, and 1-liners. Much of the guests/audience members were from North Eastern University and Yelp Elite which were written into the jokes in the show, as well as lots of humor about local life, local locations, etc. Yelp Elite met the cast, and they were of high quality professionalism, union members, and studied at good theater schools. The staff of the Theater was also that of excellent service. A bar tender prepared a tailor made martini for me and had great candor, and a good disposition. Other staff were quite professional, polite, and helpful. If you would like a very unique and entertaining experience, this would be a great choice. Each performance is different, and unique, each time it's played. Thank you for a lovely evening! read more

An absolutely wonderful experience. Truly a must see! The venue is a small theater in downtown Boston; the seating closer to the stage is arranged around small tables while the seating further away are rows of chairs. The seats right in front of the stage are super close to the stage, maybe 3 feet away- you might get a little wet if you sit front and center! The best seats in my opinion are in the second row. The show is a great mix of scripted and improv. There's a section where the audience can choose to participate in directing the snow's direction! The cast the night I saw it were absolutely incredible- funny, quick with improv, and perfectly fit their roles- I'm smiling just thinking about it. The show does have some innuendos/ mature jokes and plays on some stereotypes so attend with care if you are sensitive. read more

I had a great time watching Shear Madness! I was a bit skeptical at first because I usually don't like comedy shows since I don't like crude jokes. However, the story, keeping track of clues, and quite a bit of local humor were plenty to keep me entertained. The cast was amazing and clearly love what they do. The theater was small so all of the seats are very close to the stage, but I'd try not to end up at one of the corners...where I sat, in the front row at the corner of the stage, there was a pole blocking my view of a pretty key part of the set. However, because the chairs are movable, I was able to move over slightly so I could mostly see around it. read more
