I've seen all kinds of improv, sketch, stand up, et al - TRIKE is the real deal. Academic, with flashes of intelligent brilliance as well low-brow hilariousness. See them and enjoy!

Berk Kapicioglu

Take a free improv class or come watch their great (and super cheap ) shows. Megawatt on Wednesday, trike on Saturday, and Armando Diaz Experience on Thursday are highly recommended.

Greg Maughan

Everything is good here, but particularly Wednesday night Megawatt is the best comedy for your money, and Saturday night's Trike is amazing.

Andrew Fafoutakis

Tons of opportunities to get onstage here with tons of great improv and sketch. Be sure to check out their Musical House team Mint Condition - Tuesdays 8:30 $5!

Rachelle

Take the FREE intro to improv class and get a FREE ticket to a Magnet show! That's right.

drew tarvin

Any show on the weekend is going to be great. If you're looking for some improvised musicals , check out Tuesday nights!

Trike – Two-man improv, when done well , is a spectacular feat. Nick Kanellis & Peter McNerney . Saturday, 10:30pm • $10

Maria Marques

The Weave – “The only rule is there are no rules”. Six improvisers, in teams of three, blend two parts together in impressive and unpredictable show. Saturday, 7:30pm $10

Ashley Busing

Shows are great. Wine is cheap and they give good pours.

Kiss punch poem is the best improv show in the city !!

Look for a guy named Binu who's checked in 411 times. Walk up to him and say "hey, don't I know you from foursquare?" You might get a special something.

Michelle Ward

To Be Continued, usually the 2nd Fri each month, is a must. Megawatt on Wed nights is always a great time.

Went here with my girlfriend because she had free tickets. The improv was good, nothing special. For some reason the bartender had to open both of my beers before I could go into the theatre , random.
