What a fun experience! Was visiting some friends in LA and they recommended we check out Hollywood Improv, and what a blast it was! I knew we had to get tickets as some of the acts that night were big names: Jamie Kennedy, Dane Cook, Melissa Villasenor (hello SNL!) and more…

The show was set to start at 7:30pm and they were very prompt in making sure we were all sat as the opening acts came on immediately after. There was also a 2 drink/food minimum order per person, so either come hungry or load up on some cocktails during the show!

Each comic’s set goes on for about 15-20 minutes, so expect to be there for a little over 2 hours. Don’t forget to put your phone on silent and enjoy the show!

I’ve been here a handful of times. Easy check in process for your emailed tickets, and professional staff! I’ve had a great time each time I’ve attended a show!!

Across the street; they charge 18 bucks to park. When I left the show it was nice that it was so close; but I was one of the first ones to leave the show because we sat near the stage so when Deon Cole did photos we were basically first in line. I'm a major fan of stand up; so im bias. But I love this place; it's almost as special to me as the comedy store.

Service was great and very organized. Everyone was nice too. A lot of places will get irritated if you don't know the drill. This was my first time here and they were very helpful and nice. It was refreshing!

Great spot! So fun. Cozy feel inside with so much history and so fun. Food was delicious. Stand-up Comics were funny. Drinks delish! Overall a great time.
Street or valet parking available.

This is definitely the highlight of our LA trip. We managed to see a pretty stellar lineup with solid materials. Great crowd, super friendly service. Food is so so but hey, you're not exactly here for the food. We can't wait to be back again

So worth seeing a show at the improv. Wayne Grady was awesome. It is a small, intimate place that adds to the fun. 2-item minimum is no problem as the drill and food options are plentiful. We arrived early and had a chance to talk to Wayne for a second and then hang out at the bar waiting for the doors.
