They also offer classes for aspiring improv folk. I was unsure at first since improv can be a hit or miss, but I had a great time. The venue is intimate with about 5 rows and the night we went 4 performers had five categories where audience can share a story based on the category and a timed improv is acted out. I laughed at 4/5 of the improv acts. Tickets range from $17-21 and you can purchase canned drinks and snacks too.

The lobby had plenty of tables and seating for waiting. Inside the performance room, it was a simple and cozy space with a bit of colored lighting, and just five rows of seating that fit about 5-6 people per row. The Confessional this past Saturday started about 15 minutes late, so it was shorter than expected. The performers did a pretty good job creating hilarious scenes out of audience suggestions and stories, not exactly pros but they put in the effort and seemed to be having fun out there, so that's what matters. I definitely got my laughs in, and we had a good time.

BAY AREA FINDS NEW ADDICTION FOR BURLESQUE AND HUBBA HUBBA REVIEW IS THE "DRUG" OF CHOICE!…read more SIT-REP (Situation Report) *DIVE! DIVE! DIVE!* NO. That is not a command with the KLAXON HORN alert indicating that a SUB is SUBMERGING, but rather the heads-up that we have entered the "DIVE BAR" ZONE! AND it's a "Double-Header" because Hubba Hubba Review not only resides in just one venue but TWO that I've been to: The DNA LOUNGE in SOMA San Francisco and THE UPTOWN in Downtown Oakland. Both venues lend themselves extremely well to special events of the Gothic-Industrial-EBM genre as well as host AMAZING special events in VAUDEVILLIAN and BURLESQUE fashion. THE SET-UP I've been going to HUBBA HUBBAs for the last 8 years now. They range from Spectacular Spectacular HALLOWEEN PARTIES featuring burlesque performances by the nation's most talented women, incredible music performances including the awesome symphonic sounds of ROSIN COVEN, and the wittiest comedy sketch banter led by Master of Ceremonies, JIM SWEENEY (aka the KINGFISH). But it doesn't stop there! There are specially THEMED parties and events that take hold of the imagination and include BUCCANEERS, DICTATORS and ALIENSI Truly amazing fun! I ALWAYS have a fantastic time at these extravaganza if I don't say so myself. THE LOWDOWN You are bound to have a great time at any HUBBA HUBBA you attend, and don't be surprised if you are abducted by GYPSIES or molested by a GORILLA! (I have been by both and I LOVED IT!) [Ha! The survey at the bottom is asking if this is "Good For Kids?" Since Yelp is asking, I'm gonna have to say....."YES!" Oh wait, I meant "No." Whoops! Too late! ;^D

The dancers didn't go on until at least midnight, but by that time I'd skedaddled home for work the next morning. 15 dollar cover, totally worth it in this instance.

Some seat are way off to the side; I got stuck there, and visiblity is bad, because the performers don't always turn to face the sides of the audience.

Dan Hoyle's It Takes All Kinds is superb. A one man play that explores the complexities of our socio-political views, relationships around divisive topics while maintaining a sense of surprise, engagement and hope. The playwright, actor and "journalist of hanging out" uniquely captures the essence of the people he represents and honors their stories - the acting, voice control, and physical embodiment of the stories he is telling is truly transformative.

They have ushers everywhere helping you find the right spot and your seats. There are men's and women's restrooms on all floors. There's also a bar including light snacks in each floor as well. The show started soon after 1:00 PM and it was absolutely amazing! Would definitely return to see another show.
