My son did the two week teen improv camp and loved it. The final show was a lot of fun, really well done and you can’t help but be impressed with how much the kids have learned. I would absolutely recommend it!

Really fun and engaging the bald guy was hilarious, the other balding guy was very funny as well I would recommend to anybody in my face hurts from smiling so much!

Every since my son said, "hey, dad, let's go to the National Comedy Theatre," I am a raving fan. Great entertainment, and a completely different show every night! It is always an amazingly funny show!

Always a fun show. These performers never fail to deliver a good time. If you are lucky and want to, you may get on stage. You, "THE AUDIENCE" provide the ideas, the performers provide the laughs.

Hilarious show! Almost TOO much fun. What a great way to spend an evening!

My family and I always love visiting. The shows are so much fun and the performers are so talented.

Laughs Improv was great. They've been going for about 25 years. Skits were creative and funny. Audience participates but you are not singled out. Lasts just over an hour. You can bring your food and drinks. You can buy snacks there as well. This was a family rated show though there was one curse word. Wouldn't recommend taking anyone less than 9 or 8 years old.

We saw the annual improv show starring teenagers and young adults who were on the spectrum. They were amazing!

So much fun...so many laughs. I'll be back!

I had a wonderful evening at the National Comedy Theatre. This was my first improv show ever, but as a huge Who's Line is It Anyways fan, I knew I was in for a treat. The theatre is small and tucked away near a British pub. Parking is rough on the busy streets but we found a spot in the residential area nearby.
We arrived close to the start of the show, so there was not a long wait to check in. The process was quick and they sell reasonably priced popcorn and drinks in the entryway. They do open seating in the very small, intimate theater. The show started promptly and the energy was so fun. The host was high energy and both teams gave it their all. Essentially, the two teams compete against each other with the voting being done by audience cheers. I'm glad to say that the team I was rooting for won! Throughout the show, they would often invite audience participation but they do not force it on anyone, and it is all very good natured. Time flew by and there was a 15 min intermission in the middle. The bathroom is outside the theater and there were staff member standing by to direct lost patrons.
At the end of the show, the cast members stood by the exit to chat, and accept congratulations and high-fives as we left. I had a great first live comedy experience at the National Comedy Theatre, and I would love to attend more of their shows in the future!
