The Impossibility Theater is a small, intimate venue with about 52 seats, located in Sevierville,…read moreTennessee. Tickets are available online, over the phone, or in person. The show begins promptly at 5:30 PM, but entry isn't allowed until exactly 5:00 PM. Trust me they're strict about it. I arrived at 4:50 and found the doors locked. A gentleman greeted me at the door and kindly explained he still had a few final preparations to handle. Even with a restroom request, they held firm on the timing. True to his word, the doors opened at 5:00 PM sharp. As you walk in, you're welcomed by a staff member who checks your name and guides you to your seat. What's quirky and fun is that the same man who takes your ticket also performs the entire one-man show! The stage sits just six feet from the front row, creating a cozy and personal atmosphere. The space is very clean, and soft background music plays while you wait. The restroom is located at the back, which means you'll have to walk across in front of the audience if nature calls mid-performance. It's spotless and includes a single handicap-accessible bar next to the toilet. Best to go beforehand. There's a small counter that offers snacks and drinks, though in my opinion, the prices didn't match the portions. A little steep for what you get. This show is best suited for younger children rather than adults. That's why I gave it a higher rating, viewed through the right lens, it's charming and lighthearted. However, if it were intended for a broader adult audience, I'd probably rate it lower. One notable drawback was the unlocked front door during the performance. While we were mid-show, two people wandered in asking about future tickets, and the performer actually paused the show to answer them. I get the hustle, but it broke the flow and felt disruptive. You're welcome to film the performance, which is unusual and at the end of the show, comes a QR code encouraging guests to leave a positive review. A little unconventional, but memorable.

Too many to count honestly and would always give a 5 star previously but this show has always been very good but this show put a different feeling out there for us. Mr. Rob was very rude to a little girl in the audience and made a big deal about her grandmother from the stage... he wasn't aware one of the employees had already come out and talked with her family about her being in the show and when she tried to go up for that part of the show , he kept telling her she had to wait and be asked to come up. The grandmother tried to let him know she had already been asked and he made an insulting comment about the girls grandmother being very bossy. He got visibly angry at the family and it was very uncomfortable for a few moments. Would we return to Comedy Barn? Of course, it's one of our annual stops. We would not be disappointed if Mr Rob was absent or at least would mind his professional manners!

So you're either all in, or you're like my grumpy self: wondering when you can leave, and wondering why your soup is being poured into your bowl from a foil-lined Tupperware container like you're serving time in a penitentiary. This show is bananas. I had no idea what was going on at any point. Don't ask me about the plot. All I know is that there were bison, and people riding horses, and people waving flags, and at some point there was a big boom and some flashing lights. It's a show, for sure. It's something to watch while you eat. The food is fine. You get a lot of it! This is a prix fixe menu, so I don't believe you can pick what you want. You get what you get and you don't throw a fit, basically. You get a whole game hen, for crying out loud. Contrary to what some people think, you are not forced to eat with your hands here. You are provided with forks and spoons. But the game hen is something that you can tuck into with your hands, if you wanted to. You also get soup (poured from the aforementioned foil-lined Tupperware pitcher), a biscuit, mashed potatoes, pulled pork, corn on the cob, and a dessert, which was some sort of vanilla and chocolate coconut cake. It's a lot of food. A beverage is included with the meal, but if you want an alcoholic beverage, then that's a separate charge. I got a glass of red wine, because there was no way that I was going through this experience completely sober. I am not the audience for Dolly Parton's Stampede, but I'm glad I visited. Before my visit, I talked to a friend who had fond memories of visiting this dinner theatre show with his family many times when he was younger. I think it's the perfect place to visit with kids: It's food and a show! What can be better?

Waited in the heat until doors opened at 4:45, then went inside and ushered upstairs, where we were corralled into a roped area. At 5:40 the M.C. And his sidekick came to sign autographs. No true special treatment. Only plus was guaranteed front row seats. Food was generally ok. Chicken was decent, the pork was really good. The corn was nasty and the soup bland. As a slow eater I wasn't able to finish my main before dessert came. Got to try both. One bite was enough. The show was decent. Tough to watch at times because of the servers. Even with a broken ankle I limped to our seats, handicapped seating was way up top. Maybe I expected more because of all the positive hype. Generally disappointing experience.
