Wasn't worth the required 2 drink min. Drinks were $18+ and not worth the price. I THINK the first drink was pretty sitting, so there's that! We made the best of it and enjoyed the karaoke room. Loved all the ladies picking their fav songs and singing and dancing their hearts out. I'd go back after I've already had a drink or two before heading in. Grab an app and enjoy the vibes and lovely service and venue.

This place has a similar live improv show that gets the crowd laughing. Arrive early to find parking. I think we were there at least 30 minutes to an hour before the show, and the lot only had about 3 very tight spots left. Street parking looked limited. If you were forced that route, you'll need time to drive around looking for a spot and then walking your way back to the theater. At least the building parking was free! I'm not sure if the building has an elevator. We climbed stairs to enter it. The ticket booth is just inside to the left at the top of the stairs. A staff and show member greeted us and explained how the show worked, since we were new here. Chairs were lined up in rows, but they have little tables between every two chairs. Great for setting down your drinks and also gives you a more intimate experience if you are there on a date. You can also move your seat around a bit to adjust for long legs or growing girth. The front two rows have red velvet 2-seater lounge couches. These plush luxury seating options look great until you find yourself called on to participate in the performance in some way. Just for the record, sitting further back doesn't guarantee you won't be included in the show in some unexpected way. Audience participation happened in a variety of ways. Before the show, you could write ideas on post it notes and stick them on their idea board. Additionally, you could jot down a phrase on an index card and place it in a fishbowl. These items were regularly exploited during the show requiring the actors to think on their feet. Bartenders can make cocktails and standard mixed drinks. Beer and wine are fast and simple. Surprisingly, they don't do margaritas here because they take too long to make and the line backs up. Eventually they hope to get a frozen margarita machine to make it easier. Food options are severely limited to items you might find at an independent theatre. There is a small container of premade popcorn that honestly isn't very satisfying. We also split some chocolate covered pretzels that appeared to be individually wrapped by a special retailer. I recommend eating prior to coming or at least have a decent healthy snack at home and then go out to eat afterwards. The show was fun! The actors had a lot of different scenarios that kept you entertained. Each sketch only lasted 10-15 minutes. If you were only mildly amused, you didn't have to wait long before they were throwing something new at you. I would definitely come back here and would recommend others check it out for a fun evening of laughs.

My husband and I met up with a few friends here for a comedy show, and we had an absolute blast!…read more Be sure to check in with the hostess before you head into the bar or through the front doors. We arrived a bit early, so we grabbed a couple of drinks while waiting for the rest of our group. I ordered a double Tito's and cranberry--it was made perfectly and definitely hit the spot. Once we headed inside, it looked like seating was first-come, first-served, but we had opted for the VIP tickets. Having those reserved spots gave us a fantastic view of the stage; I highly recommend going the VIP route if you can! The show itself was top-tier. The openers had great sets that really warmed up the room, and then the "Queen" herself, Kelly Kells, took the stage. It has been a long time since I've laughed that hard! I was so grateful we chose this night to head out. In terms of the venue, everything was clean and well-maintained. The staff was impressive--they were super on top of it and got our food and drink orders out to us quickly despite the crowd. I'd definitely come back for another show!

This place changed ownership and I gotta be honest it's being run poorly…read more We went to see the 9:30 Tisha Campbell show Saturday July 25th. The doors were supposed to open at 8:30; show start at 9:30. At 10:30 there was a line through the parking lot that wasn't moving. No one was being allowed in. They checked my waistband for a gun mean while I'm wearing a suit jacket. We're all grown here! Personally I'd check the white crowds for weapons in texas! The guy online can't find our name and has to go in. Of course he finds it. Duh. So we get in and they don't know where to seat us. There's tables all over and they put us in the back against the wall. No server comes Ever!! To our entire section! Fortunately we stop a server from another section and she takes our order and the tables to the left and right. $17 old fashioneds. The comics are good. Two stars

I was so excited to finally attend the Usama Sadiqque show!…read more This Improv location was easy to find and parking was no issue. I really liked this venue better than my local one. I felt it was spacious, organized and had style. I really loved the opening visuals that came prior to the show beginning. The wait staff were nice, they do received about an 18% tip that's already included in your tab. There is a two item requirement to purchase a drink or food per person. In the end, they had it organized to where you could take pics with the headliner and go. While waiting outside, Usama was just walking around and I captured my video with him. You can tell the performers are comfortable here so much that they were walking around prior to their set. I Really loved my experience here! I can't wait to visit again when I am in the area.

First time coming to improv and glad I finally made it. Seen an incredible show by Monet X Change…read more The place is cool but could use a refresh I feel. The chairs are crazy uncomfortable. I was struggling to make it through the show because I wanted to get out the chair so bad. With as much money as I know this venue makes on ticket sales and food sales, I would love to see some new tables and seating and a refresh on the layout tbh. Two item minimum purchase per person, so don't show up broke. I ordered nachos and a margarita. Both were actually good and not too badly priced at all, so I can appreciate that. The service we received was good and our waiter was very attentive and fast. Cant wait to see more comedians though and will try some other food items as well.

Let me just say, you come for the act, not the club. I come here to see Sammy Obeid and hes…read moreamazing. The food is mid at best. I wish there would invest in better quality food and better NA options. Would love to see mocktails on the menu as well as coke zero. The people that work here are nice but the quality of the space and food isnt it. I don't think I've ever had a cocktail here so cant speak to the quality of the drinks. Also- 2 item per person minimum but they do have NA drinks as cheap as $3 and snack things as low as $5 so its not too pricey.

Can't think of anything to do on a Saturday night in the 9th largest city in the United States?…read moreDefinitely check this place out. Very small and more of an intimate setting. The comics kept us well entertained--although there were a few strange ones--but overall the money was well spent. Drinks are good and strong and the karaoke after the show is quite the time if you're not ready to go home just yet. It gives you an opportunity to meet and mingle with the comedians which is cool in my book! You could be hanging out with the next Dave Chappell or Bill Burr! Ya never know. No frills, no need to bring out Sunday's best...jeans and a t shirt...youll be a ok. Just come ready to laugh!

They got them our orders mixed up, forgot to bring some to our party, & forgot the drinks, then charged the wrong food & drinks on the tickets. They also took a long time to give the boxes & tickets back, VERY DISORGANIZED! NOT WORTH THE AUTOMATIC 20% gratuity. Food was ok, so pricey for what we get. The $4 bottled waters were room temperature. Next time we'll get 2 waters as the 2-item minimum pp, as they are the cheapest items. We'll go again to support the guest performers but will not eat there again.
