For splat, get a table in the middle. Blood everywhere on stage . Highly recommend this theatre! Going back again ASAP. Make sure to also grab a board game of the shelf for fun .

Annoyance put itself on the map with its famously distasteful gross-out musical Co-Ed Prison Sluts. Twenty years later, it still cranks out bizarre, unconventional comedy. Read more

Fantastic as a bar, even better as a two-theater aggressive comedy emporium. Come for the Clark Street views and draft brews, stay for the unknown.

The Annoyance Theater combines improvisation, musical theater and sketch comedy to create a raunchy, hilarious and uncensored environment. Tickets for all shows range from $10 – $20.

Just saw Swear Jar (sketch comedy) at this theater and it was great; this was my first time at Annoyance. Got some very cheap tickets on goldstar.com and I would definitely go to see it again. Read more

TNT (Tuesday Night Thing) is GREAT and cheap! Worth a stop in. Drinks are good also.

Get confused at Kenyan playwright Victor Gido’s bizarre one-act play about auditioning for writing a one-act play. Read more

There is always a late show-check out if they have a two for one offer!
