"Had the opportunity to see our son Max perform in several improv shows and each one keeps getting better! if you’ve not seen one, book it now."
"Incredible show! My husband and I attended the Asssscat 3000 show and were laughing throughout. The style of the show showcases the actors' unique abilities in comedy and there's a guest appearance. They do have a bar with beer and wine and there's a brief intermission."
"Caught the GOAT performance and the performers knows how to put on a funny show. Improv subjects were very relatable and on spot. Always give the biggest props to actors who can think on their feet and make an audience laugh without having to drop the F-bomb every other word. Definitely will return for another show!"
"One Sunday I happened upon a diversity performance here. It was free and so freaking funny. Almost everyone had a shot to go on stage and improv. Free! So free I looked up UcB's intro to improv class and might actually enroll."
"Nice theater. Good for all kinds of performances especially stand up and improv. Seats about 160 with a box office and restrooms."
