An absolutely hysterical episode. Jen has found yet another prospective boyfriend, and he asks her to go to the theater with him. When Moss and Roy invite themselves along, both manage to get into trouble, and hilarity ensues! It's true that this episode doesn't incorporate as many geek jokes as usual or take place in the typical work setting. Instead, the episode follows a far more daring path: it puts established characters into a new situation. This time, the humor revolves around the personalities of Moss, Roy, and Jen, not just references to geek culture. But don't worry, the episode still has plenty of The IT Crowd's trademark hilarious one-liners. Don't miss it!
The Office has had a makeover, Jen introduces Philip to the boys, he invites Jen to the Theatre, the boys invite themselves along. Roy and Moss think Philip's gay man, they arrive at the Theatre and find the play is called 'Gay.' Roy decides it's not for him, and ends up in an Ambulance, Moss ends up as a member of staff.
This rates as one of the best episodes of the IT crowd, it's hilarious, absolutely laugh out loud funny. From start to finish it's just amazing.
Morris's banter with the actor is hysterically funny. Some of the one liners are brilliant, 'I just paid a pound not to go to the toilet.'
It's always been a funny show, but this episode is top notch. 10/10

I don't know anyone who didn't like 'the IT crowd; it strikes a chord with anybody who ever worked in an office situation and who had to deal with the geeks who seemed to be in control of some kind of sorcery in the computer department. This is the funniest of all the funny IT Crowd episodes; it will have tears running down your face. The episode centres on the work colleagues having a night out at the theatre, where a series of comic mix-ups get them into very funny situations indeed. The very last scene has Chris O'Dowd at his deadpan most hilarious. I loved the IT crowd, but this episode stands out as one of the funniest pieces of TV ever. This episode is up there with Fawlty Towers 'don't mention the war' and the 'Fools and Horses' chandelier scene. Achingly funny and a real classic!

This could possibly be the quintessential example of Sit-com perfection. The jokes, while predictable at times, lose nothing as the rythm, delivery and timing are perfect. The facial expressions at to the humor and relatability. I've watched this episode dozens of times and I still can't stop laughing from beginning to end.
Whoa, I just had to write this review, I am in the middle of this episode as I'm writing because I just couldn't continue watching this episode and breathe at the same time.
I'd just recently started watching this series and to say that I was impressed would be putting i mildly. I have seen the complete first season but not one episode of the six is as funny as the "After party" scene. This whole episode is a laughter riot but the scene that I mentioned is the peak. Honestly, I think that the whole comedy genre might have jumped the shark.
Any comedy fans out there I beg you to see this episode as I'm sure it won't let you down and as for the people who have just started watching IT crowd and are yet to see this episode... I envy you.
Now that I've regained my composure and I'm going back to watch this episode.

In reality they would simply use the key to unlock the door, as standards for accessible toilets in the UK require the key to work in a locked door.
