Why rue what might have been when you can experience it be-ing first hand and then rue having watched it be. This is, of course, self-deprecation. Grand Theft Impro offers a unique no-rue guarantee. If you rue having seen a Grand Theft Impro show more than the amount you have rued seeing another impro show, we will make up the rue-shortfall. We will not be beaten on rueability.
