Plan to arrive early if you're seeing a live performance as there are multiple galleries to spend some time with, along with light bites and beverages. There are so many seating areas sprinkled throughout the space, if ya wanna just lounge while you wait. Speaking of light bites and beverages, they have some decent offering and aren't too over the top for what'd you'd expect to pay at a live performance. I also don't mind supporting such a great venue and organization. We've seen a few performances at a couple of their theatres. My favorite is likely the most intimate space, The Black Box Theatre. The other larger space is well laid out, just bigger. I love the creativity and variety of their offerings. We've seen so many great shows. Def will return. And, the last time we were there, we learned about their spring plant sale that took place in their parking lot. Who knew? We went and really appreciated the local community collaboration. Check them out. It'll be a great experience.

First let me say, overall this was enjoyable. To start, since this is in a functioning restaurant,…read morethe food was excellent which is not always the case with these type of shows. Logistically, it struggled a lot in my opinion. It is set in a room, which is to small for the structure of the production. About 30 minutes in, the guests are told to go to other "suspects' and gather information. In such a small room, this is difficult not only to move, but hear over the noise. About 45 minutes later, the actors go to each suspect and have them read additional clues, this is much better as everyone gets to hear and you are not trying to move around. Then 20-30 minutes later, you are asked to mingle and gather the clues. Them the end by the actors interviewing the suspects again. They should just use the actors to interview the suspects so everyone can hear and gather clues.

I was pleasantly surprised by how clever, risqué, and funny this show was. We attended the Alice in Wonderland show and it was the perfect mix of sexiness and comedy. We got the VIP seats right up next to the stage, but from looking around, it appears there are very few "bad" seats in the house, maybe a seat or two behind some columns. My friends and I laughed and clapped and cheered. The performances were top notch. The drinks weren't gourmet cocktails, but that's not expected. I got a pretty good sized mule and dark n stormy and my friend's husband enjoyed his many martinis. The performers were kind enough take photos with us at the end of the evening. So down to earth. I also had a great experience with their staff. Early in the year I purchased two tickets in hopes of getting a good table. Then months later, they introduced the VIP tickets right next to the stage. I purchased three of those (I had added two friends by then) and the company was kind enough to refund my two regular tickets. They were very prompt and professional in emails. Regular tickets were 50-ish, VIP tickets were 70-ish. Worth every penny. No photos or videos during the production, but they allow for some photos and video at the end. Also close to many restaurants and bars, essentially in a pedestrian district. We walked to a close by mediterranean place (reviewed separately) that was fantastic.

We saw a burlesque tarot performance. The host was so funny and all the dancers were amazing and so talented! Love the body positivity and the diversity amongst all their dancers (male dancers were included!). They provide fun little noisemakers to use during the dances to cheer them on. They have lots of drink options too and come around to take your order. I got the non-alcoholic Aperol spritz which was a little strange but that's ok haha. Other girls seemed to like their cocktails and wine. The music, the costumes, the dancers, everything was so much better than we expected! So fun!

I've been going here since moving to Denver when I searched out where the internationally held "Nerd Nite" in Denver would be. I used to go to Nerd Nite in Wisconsin and many of the major metro areas have a Nerd Nite. So, that is how I discovered The Bug Theater. It's not quite as cool as the WI chapter, but it's still a good time! It's fun to learn stuff! Another great event there was the Emerging Filmmakers. Local filmmakers present their short films and you can make a comment about it afterwards, if you'd like. Or you can just listen to other's comments! It's a great time if you're into movies! A must see are the Acrocats. Again, I've also seen the show of performing cats in WI and have been waiting for years to see them here in Denver. I couldn't believe the date range as the show ran for something like 2-3 weeks and even more shocking was that she sold out every single day!!! Fun fact is that her first performance was here in Denver at The Bug even though she started the Acrocats out of Illinois (and is in Georgia as of late). They have several other events like comedy, as well. Definitely check something out there that you're into! It's sure to be a good time! The theater is small, I don't know if it's 100-something seating. But also, nice and cozy for these fun locals on stage ;)

While I didn't agree with all the politics of the performers they didn't make their political opinion their entire act. Oh and the seats have cup holders. That said, without tables I think it feels a lil more compact inside than some comedy venues. Great service. They'll even do the Alamo thing where they crouch when taking your order.I don't think it's necessary but I appreciate the extra touch A super nice touch - an opener that gave a sh*t.

Huge scam to begin with, as not only do you pay to see the show but have to purchase 2 items per person before the show is over. However, that's not the part that drove me absolutely bonkers. Imagine a sold out show and EVERYONE must purchase 2 items per person, have that shit delivered to your respective seat one piece at a time and pay for it (per order). We couldn't see half the show because staff was blocking the view, we couldn't hear the other half because staff was hustling to take orders and secure payment from the guests.

Next time if there's an option for another venue with better facilities that would be preferable. But, it kind of added to the feel of the event... I go back and forth. I'd like to go back and perhaps even present one year - but probably later in the evening when the audience has had its share of libations and they might forgive my stage presence. :) Good job, Ignite!
