For 35+ years this legendary spot has introduced some of the greatest comedians of all time including Eddie Murphy, Ellen DeGeneres, Adam Sandler & Dave Chappelle. Jay Leno helped paint the ceiling.

They have the most amazing staff here! Everyone is so friendly here. The bar is a great place to hangout even if you are not seeing a show.

Alyssa Coleman

So far my favorite Improv. Get there early and enjoy some drinks at the bar and skip having to waiting in line outside.

Donald Buley

Service was great, the nachos magnificent. Saw Hollywood Babble-On and saw Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman in person for the first time. The image of Ralph doing his Peewee impression is haunting me

Achille Kolla

Went on a Monday night for the all star show and was beyond satisfied. Great way to start the week!

Lindsay Rose

Great place! Convenient $7 valet service out front. Standard two-item minimum. (Purchases made at the bar outside the showroom do not count toward min.)

Megan Allison

The little library area upstairs from the front bar is actually a really chill place to hang out
