I got some much needed laughs tonight. I've been looking forward to attending and lineup was amazing. Comedians were very talented, parking was plentiful and the drinks were strong! The unique thing about the Small and Mighty event is volunteers from the audience have a chance to take the stage and try their hand at stand up and they were all naturals! I love this, it keeps the audience engaged and eager to participate. Staff were very hospitable and the theater is an intimate setting, I'd guess seating for about 30 or so. What a great way to spend my Saturday evening. Can't wait for next weekend!

Had a Christmas party here and the service from start to finish was top notch! They serve local beers and wine. The sound is amazing. Impromptu class is super fun here!

Coronation Theater is the spot in Houston! If you love entertainment, artistry, and seeing some of the most hilarious talent out there, stop searching--you've found it. The performers? Incredible. The staff? On point. The vibes? Immaculate. Plus, they've got great drinks, snacks, and that St. Arnold's Ginger Beer that hits every time! Whether you're after non-stop laughs or unforgettable talent, this improv haven delivers. 1000/10 recommend--don't miss out!

Killer business cards!

Went to my first show last night at Coronation Theater and it was a total riot! Everyone had such a great time and you best bet I'll be back for more. Give the place a visit ASAP!

A group of 4 of us visited last weekend for DL Hughley and purchased a "preferred section" table…read morethat was pricey but worth the experience as we sat right at the corner of the stage. Online you will see a ticket price and the fee, Google will tell you that if you go in person, you will not have to pay that fee but if you call, she will explain to you that the ticket price goes to the Comedian and the fee goes to the venue. We went to the 930 show that stated doors were at 9 PM. That's not really correct though because the exterior door opened around 9 PM but you're not able to go find seats l at that time and you're still in line. If you are in the beginning of the line at 9 PM, then you can wait inside the lobby, otherwise you have to wait outside which is kind of crazy. Luckily, we were in the beginning part that made it inside because one of our guests that arrived 10 minutes after the lobby opened is pregnant. She wouldn't have been able to stand in heels outside all that time and when she walked up to the line and told the older Caucasian man that her mom was in the lobby with the tickets he was adamant that she needed to go to the back of the line and wait. Very visibly pregnant she tried to re-explain that we purchased a preferred table and that we were already inside the lobby, and there was plenty of room for her and her husband to come stand with us -he still tried to stand in her way so she could not walk around the line saying " well if I let you then everyone will expect to be able to go ". This is why I had already spoken to the young gentleman that checked our tickets into the lobby and he said it would be fine for them to walk up when they arrived, so I told her to ignore the man and go ahead and come around, and she was able to walk right in. Right about 9:30 PM the doors into the theater area opened and it is first come first serve to the tables. Server took our order after a short while everything came out surprisingly quick. We had to send back the fried pickles as they were swimming in grease. I asked the server if he could just have the kitchen remake it as my prego daughter really wanted that however he said they would just come out the same way again. We tried to blot them with napkins, but as you can see in my photo that's just for me barely touching one of them and my fingers are covered in oil. Yuck! The southwest eggrolls were good just your standard run of the mill. Do not order an old-fashioned! They cut the rind instead of just using the peel, use a maraschino cherry instead luxardo ( which I can still settle for both ) BUT the basic 3 ingredient cocktail was wrong! Service was better in the beginning because we were seated before all those that had been in line- then it took a while. 18% grat included so they def need to step their game up The show itself was really good. It was with one opening Comedian and then the headliner so about 2ish hours. Very interactive the last 30 minutes and we were sitting right next to the stage! Definitely worth the extra money for preferred

Went to Houston Improv Comedy Club and had a really great time. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed,…read moreperfect for a night out if you want to laugh and unwind. The seating is comfortable with plenty of space so it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The food was surprisingly good for a comedy venue and the service stood out the most. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. The location is also a big plus since there are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, which makes it easy to turn your visit into a full evening out. Overall, this is a great spot to go with someone whether it is a date or just a night out with friends. I would definitely come back again.

Drunk Christmas Carol was my second visit following my visit to Drunk Dracula…read more Enjoyed it just as much as the first. I'll be back for sure! ***only bit of feedback was drinks took a very very long time to receive during the packed show. Ordered a drink when I first sat down that arrived maybe halfway through and the wait kept me from ordering any additional.

3, 2, 1, Shakespeare! You don't have to be a fan of Shakespeare to enjoy this production. It's more…read moreof a comedy show with an element of improv and debauchery lol. My friend purchased tickets through Groupon. The second time we went, the employee gave us a free upgrade from balcony to mezzanine which was awesome. If you want to splurge, they do offer the royalty throne seats which they will auction off at the start of the show. As royalty, you do have some control during the show which adds to the fun. The Emerald Theater is small and intimate and is designed as a library. When you enter, you receive a welcome shot and a membership card. Each seat has a QR code that you can scan to order food and drinks before and during the show. I've gone to two productions and both have been hilarious! The cast was actually different between the two shows and they both did a fantastic job! I saw "Romeo and Juliet" last summer. The show was raunchy and went off the rails pretty quickly. If you're easily offended, I would recommend skipping this show. It loosely followed the plot and was so wild (in the best way)! A few months later, we saw "A Christmas Carol" (3, 2, 1, Dickens!). We were chatting with one of the actors, Tatiana before the show and she offered me the opportunity to take a shot with her. What I didn't realize is that I was going to be doing a shot on stage with her at the start of the show to prove that the alcohol was real (it was straight rum). She took 4 shots of rum and held her own! It was actually quite incredible lol. The show was so funny and not quite as raunchy as Romeo and Juliet. The Drunk Shakespeare Society also performs "Drunk Dracula" in October. They have a pirate show that's going to debut this summer as well (which I'm sure will be hilarious). This is such a fun experience and I am looking forward to going back!

This review is for their performance in Houston…read more If you've been to other Cirque Du Soleil in the race park before then you know that there's no way around paying for parking. It will cost you $12 to park. The good thing about the parking is it was super organized so even though there were long lines of cars trying to park, the lines were moving; and once I had paid, the attendees directed me where to go and it took me less than a minute to park. Before you can enter the Grand Chapiteau, you have to go through your typical security measure. There are no metal detectors but they will look inside your purse if you have one. I was here with my sister and she didn't have a purse so we didn't even get checked. She did have a jacket on her but they didn't check it. This means you could sneak in your own snacks/drinks should you be inclined to. Why would one be inclined to sneak in their own snacks/drinks? Well, a bottled water/soda will run you $5. Nachos will run you $10. A Cotton candy will run you $8. Hot dog will run you $7. You see where I'm going with this? If you're coming here with your family (kids, wife, girlfriend, whatever), then you be better be ready to be dropping some $$$$. As for the show, it's your typical CDS stage/seating. You have the round stage with the seats surrounding them. I was lucky enough to get good seats to the right side and three rows from the stage so I was able to see everything clearly. If you opt to sit toward the back, some times you can't even see the faces of the performers clearly. The show started at eight on the dot. Some of the performances are pretty typical CDS where it would amaze you what a human body can do with training (contortionist, balancing act, juggling). Some of the other acts were more creative (invisible circus, finger dancing, animal impression). One act in particular was a combination of both where you have this dude playing yo-yo in the middle of the stage, but holy cow, he could control them yo-yos like they were a part of his body. I felt like he should have been competing in international yo-yo championship or something. All in all, I was happy with the show. This was also my sister's first Cirque Du Soleil and so everything was brand new to her and she was thoroughly impressed with the performances. CDS is always a fun event to go to and I definitely will go to whatever other Cirque Du Soleil shows that would make a stop in Houston.

3rd Cirque I've seen. Dralion 2002…read moreVarekai 2005 LOVE LOVE LOVE CDS...can't believe it's 12 years since my last one. Houston parking was $12; I parked the furthest away and still it wasn't far from the tent. I was concerned that the AC might not be working from a heads up review 4 days earlier...but, thankfully the AC was on and blowing good!! Toilets looked like porta pottys but they actually had lights and hooks to hang your purse---speaking of...I walked in the stall and there hung a yellow bag and a Kurios souvenir! I was like...HOW can one forget ALL that? Turned it in to an employee...hope the lady got her stuff back. The seats are small and very close together...I chose an end seat so I'd only have one person beside me. My seats were stage right 8 rows back...awesome! Show was exciting...as usual, I was amazed. Do yourself a favor and attend a Cirque de Soleil soon...it's well worth the $$$

I don't remember them serving food while I was there, but the drinks were definitely flowing. The bartender was friendly and quick with the mixes -- no long waits at the bar, which is always a plus when the place starts getting busy. The energy really picked up once the house music got going. The DJ kept the crowd moving, and the whole space felt lively without being overwhelming. I also appreciated that they had plenty of seating, including booths for groups who wanted to sit back, catch up, and still enjoy the music. It's a solid spot whether you're there to dance or just hang out with friends.

It's small enough that you can actually feel close to the artist, which makes the experience much more personal than a huge arena. I love being up close and personal with the talent, and HOB is one of those places where that's actually possible. The venue has a good concert atmosphere without feeling overwhelming, and I've always enjoyed the energy of the crowd. It's easy to see why so many artists stop here when they want a more intimate show. Overall, it's a solid venue for what I go for.
