Gorgeous theater and the best place in Boston for world-class comedy . Floor seating is the way to go. Balconies have zero leg room.
Sound isn't the best if you're right up front. Staff will give you a hard time for taking photos so be subtle about it. Venue best for seated Older Person events ; it can't handle rock shows.
The Wilbur is a great place to see non-music shows, particularly comedy shows ; but the floor seats close the stage are a pain. Balcony seats are best, but don't offer all that much leg room.
It's nice that the theater is pretty small but if you are at the hightop tables with people in front of you at the same level, it's really hard to see. I really don't like when I can't see at a show.
Definitely try to get floor seats or balcony seating - the Mezzanine has very uncomfortable and tight seating for anyone over 5'2".
Bruce Campbell was extremely funny and very responsive to the audience, wld love to see another live show. Thx Bruce
Terrific food - rubs and dumplings were excellent. Very. Very. Loud . No need to talk when food is that good.
The Wilbur Theatre has the best stand up comedy in Boston. Check http://www.TheWilbur.com for a updated show schedule
The staff is super sweet and friendly , really cozy cool place to check out comedians. Womens bathroom is tiny but kind of adorable.
Seating is a bit tight, but the venue brings in quality artists to make it worth the minor discomfort. Great, intimate spot to catch some stand-up comedy .
Nice older theater . Insane drink prices which were half the cost of entry to the show.
Great venue for a comedy show ! but dear god that gin & tonic was unpalatable.
Agreeing with Emily about comedy seating. I had seats right next to the stage and I was miserable. Would have enjoyed the show a lot more in comfy balcony seats .
The Wilbur has A+ social media marketing ! Look for the signs for the show's official hash tag.
Fun venue, intimate relative to others.
Awesome spot to catch a comedy show
Great intimate venue for comedians!
Small and intimate venue . Was great to see Frank Caliendo's comedy show .
Boston Common Garage is a short walk from the Wilbur Theatre. On weekends and evenings (after 4PM) parking is just $11.
Great for a comedy show . Even the seats in the back felt close.
Check out DeadBeat at the China Pearl to keep dancing after DSO! It's free and till 2 am!!!
Common Sense: Try to be seated in the middle, the acoustics are much better
Don't sit in the table seats up front. You'll hurt your neck!
the balcony seats were so comfortable ! staff was professional and very helpful.
Miss the old Domenics across the street. Loved their pizza , and Domenic was great
Best stand up comedy venue ! Comedian D.L. Hughley's live show was epic!
Mezzanine or Balcony seating is must for the comedy shows . Don't get squished into those tiny seats & tables on the ground floor.
cool club, bar location was awkward though causing lines throughout the theater . Great balcony seats .
most 4/20 unfriendly place in Boston to see a hip hop show.
Beautiful, intimate theatre !
If you're tall, don't sit in the balcony seats . Long legs don't work in balcony seats .
It is so unbelievably hot in this place that it is unbearable. Second time that I have almost walked out because if the heat. Paying too much to not have the temp control. Melting....
Great comedy shows here!
$66 for 2 beers & 2 mixed drinks - load up on nips before heading in-
Eric stonestreet n Jesse T. Fergerson was a great funny show Happy happy Birthday Jesse
The balcony seats were bad at all. The Machine exceeded my expectation
Drinks are CRAZY expensive !! Seats are already so close together.
The seating here is way to close for comfort, but always has the best shows
amazing venue
$43 for two drinks!!!! Outrageous! Drink before or after but not there!!!

Great place to watch a show.
If you want food, you’re in luck. It’s in Chinatown, so everything around is a good option. – Tucker B.
There is really no bad view from the Balcony . I prefer it to being far back and underneath.
Great time with @KathyGriffin
20 bucks just for a drink
Make sure to bring padding for your ass cuz the seats are worse then when I was in elementary school .
Da floor iz da place 2 b!
Bathroom is way downstairs
Its got some cute waitresses , bit the place is cold n drafty...most of the seating is crowded and sucks. Wayy better comedy venues in NYC
Great shows! They offer drinks too, and tickets are reasonable. - Meagan Hart
Make sure you don't end up stuck behind a pole or your (relatively pricey) ticket won't be worth much. - The Feast
soft baked pretzels are huge and delicious, perfect partner to any of the beer drafts! - Emily K
This is the perfect little dive bar tucked away in a convenient location with great cheap beer - Cat Verlicco
