I've seen all kinds of improv, sketch, stand up, et al - TRIKE is the real deal. Academic, with flashes of intelligent brilliance as well low-brow hilariousness. See them and enjoy!

Take a free improv class or come watch their great (and super cheap) shows. Megawatt on Wednesday, trike on Saturday, and Armando Diaz Experience on Thursday are highly recommended.

Everything is good here, but particularly Wednesday night Megawatt is the best comedy for your money, and Saturday night's Trike is amazing.

Any show on the weekend is going to be great. If you're looking for some improvised musicals, check out Tuesday nights!

Trike – Two-man improv, when done well, is a spectacular feat. Nick Kanellis & Peter McNerney. Saturday, 10:30pm • $10

The Weave – “The only rule is there are no rules”. Six improvisers, in teams of three, blend two parts together in impressive and unpredictable show. Saturday, 7:30pm $10

What a place! The crowd is not your average going to the theater ones, which is good. It feels all very improv

Look for a guy named Binu who's checked in 411 times. Walk up to him and say "hey, don't I know you from foursquare?" You might get a special something.

To Be Continued, usually the 2nd Fri each month, is a must. Megawatt on Wed nights is always a great time.

Go to Magnet Theater and see a great comedy show for 5 bucks. Then drink a cheap beer and watch another one. When they ask for a suggestion, say 'foursquare.' Read more

Cool shows

Went here with my girlfriend because she had free tickets. The improv was good, nothing special. For some reason the bartender had to open both of my beers before I could go into the theatre, random.
