I did not really get what this place was before we got here. And my husband misread the time it started so we walked in thinking we were early and we were a few minutes late so I was kind of lost and thought, great, he got us tickets to some super cheesey thing. But within a few minutes we were cracking up. And then we even paid to stay for the second show because the first was so funny. We will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family too. Both shows were so much fun. And I love having a comedy club that's so casual and easy parking. Prices are super reasonable and there's no expensive minimum drink charge. There is a concession stand if you want refreshments. read more

Very accessible comedy show. Smooth booking experience and parking is super easy in their parking lot. My one complaint is the seating. They put the chairs REALLY close together. I'm a shorter and average-sized woman and I still felt uncomfy. Improv is HARD, so I have a lot of respect for the performers and how much they were able to make us laugh. There are a few A+ players and others who seemed newer to the game. But I had a lot of fun and enjoyed supporting my local comedy scene! $20/ticket for 90 minutes. read more

Florida Man was awesome! Kai was great. The whole presentation bad me laughing! we hqve been going there for a few years! great talent! read more

ComedySportz is a local comedy club where you can enjoy a night out with some laughs and entertainment.

I am a big fan of live standup comedy. When I got the opportunity to watch live improv comedy I was excited to watch a different type of comedy. We arrived for the 7:00pm Saturday showing at Comedy Sportz. The comedy theater is located in a nice plaza across from Oakridge Mall in San Jose. Parking is accessible in the large parking lot. The staff was friendly and accommodating. With it being mostly a packed house, there was a nice Saturday night vibe going on. I appreciated that the show was suitable for all ages. The show itself was a different unique brand of comedy I'm not used to usually watching live. The talent these performers displayed with their improvisation and wittiness was outstanding. We enjoyed the crowd participation and high energy from the referee host. One hilarious highlight we enjoyed a lot was when the referee host asked for the performers to act out the skit in forward and backward. The format did remind me of the tv show, Whose line is it anyway?, of course. There was 10 minute intermission towards the last part of the show. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Comedy Sportz. I found most of the skits to be funny at times. My 10 year old son really enjoyed the show, which I appreciated it since I was not sure what his reaction was gonna be. I would definitely like to come back and also watch the 9:00 improv after dark show as well. read more

10/10 would recommend grabbing friends, family, kids, your coworker, anyone to watch a ComedySportz show! It was the best experience! My 10year old and I had been looking forward to a night of comedy all week long. The comedy sports crew had age appropriate jokes and insanely creative ways to show off their improv skills! There is plenty of parking. Great working AC! A stocked powder room! (So thoughtful-hats off to the brains behind this one) A volunteer run concessions with incredibly affordable prices on drinks and snacks. Be prepared for tons of laughs! Such a wonderful option! I'm definitely going to be coming back here in the future! read more

ComedySportz - Such an amazing crew at comedysportz! Thank you for the laughs! - Comedy Clubs Near Me - San Jose, California

Didn't know that they've been around since 1987! What a fun event to do at ComedySportz for a date, or for a group of friends hangout! They have 2 shows, one at 7:30pm for everyone, and a later show around 9:30 for adults only. Parking is easy as it's on a strip mall, right next to it is the big West San Jose mall where you can go shopping and eating before going to the show. All staff there are super friendly, the site is clean and even the restroom is well stocked (think of lady's room with pads and tempons!). There's a concession window selling non alcoholic drinks and snacks and popcorn. We even found a rare pineapple flavor Fanta! The show was run by a host that guided us through the rules and also motivated the audience participations, a score counting person David at the back, and 2 teams of 4 players each that play funny games or acted out funny skids to compete. Everything is hilarious and the audience's merciless suggestions fueled the comedy with fierce competitions and ruthless laughs. It was such a fun night! At the end of the show, all players lined up to shake hands and high five with the audience and you can even have a picture with them all at the very end. The price is very reasonable at $20 and if you join their loyalty club, you earn points for each ticket you buy. After buying 5 tickets you get to have a free one. They also offer stand up comedy classes and team building events. They will also travel to your site for the roadshow. Cannot recommend it enough! read more

It was such a blast! We couldn't get tickets a couple weeks ago since it was sold out so we lucked out this time! Not many people - maybe because it was a holiday? I suggest buying tickets in advance at least 1-2 weeks. Each player was so kind and friendly. I saw Jeff about 20 years ago. He's great! The key chain library in the lobby was so fun for the kids. I have to remember to bring one to leave next time. The kids 12 years old loved every minute. My daughter's friend said she's coming for her next birthday. Thanks for a fun and clean evening for everyone! My only suggestion- an early bird show- some kids can't stay up that late- and some adults too ha! read more

A MILLION STARZZZ for ComedySportz. I actually had no idea what this was all about, but decided it would be something new and interesting to do on a Friday night. I had no idea so many famous alums came from the humble beginnings of ComedySportz (not necessarily this location). The premise is there's two teams competing for points and they perform various skits that are ALL improvised. There's no way I would excel at this because you gotta be quick on your feet and I am not witty at all. The referee does a good job incorporating the crowd by asking for suggestions for the scenes. They sell some snacks and drinks for about $3-4, so they don't really try to rip you off. Seems like they really do want you to have a good time. They also sell swatters (I forget the actual name), but they come in a pair of red and blue colors which you ultimately use to vote for what team you want like best. Tickets are $20 for the early show and $10 for the lates - or a discounted rate if you go to both. Not a bad price for an evening of laughs! read more

There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The check in process was easy and the staff was friendly. The show itself was very entertaining and the comedians on stage were really funny. They have a concession stand where they sell snacks and drinks. I saw the ComedySportz show and it reminded me of the show Wild n Out. I liked how they interact with the audience and make them feel like they are part of the show. It was a very enjoyable experience! read more

ComedySportz - Inside - Comedy Clubs Near Me - San Jose, California

Comedy sports is a venue near Oakridge Mall. They do an improvisational comedy show where teams compete against one another. The theater is small so you feel like you're really close to the action. There is audience participation and you can shout suggestions for topics and parameters for the various contests. They have two shows, the earlier one is open to all ages and we felt like the later show would've been more fun and edgy. There were very young children at the first show, including infants and elementary school age. And thus the comedy was extremely tame. The teams were entertaining, despite one character falling back on her overly loud and dramatic persona a few too many times. The MC-referee was terrific at getting the crowd involved and keeping the show moving forward. They do have snacks and beverages to purchase. For an extra charge, you can purchase the flyswatters that allow you to vote for your favorite team. You get a blue and a red swatter that you raise based on your vote of who you think one around. You keep the flyswatters. I suspect you can bring them next time if you want so you don't need to purchase them again. Overall, it was a super fun evening and the teams do a great job to incorporate audience input into their routines. If you have a large group or you need something to do with your underage family members, this might be a great option. read more

I went to a 7pm show on a Saturday and I have to acknowledge that this was too family friendly. For some reason there was an abundance of children in the audience. I also think the referee spent too much time explaining all the rules. As an audience I think it's easy to catch on and doesnt require so much explanation. I would describe the show as a family friendly version of "Whose Line Is It Anyway". I did still find the show humorous and entertaining. Better than I expected. They take a short intermission half way through the show for maybe 5-10 minutes. They have a small concession stand in the back with snacks, popcorn, and sodas. There is no alcohol served here. Plenty of parking. The staff is very friendly. Overall I would recommend for a date night, but maybe attend the 9pm (late night) show instead which is 18 plus. read more

I haven't laughed so much in ages and now I'm wondering why I waited so long to try this place! We came for a Friday evening 7:30 pm show and it was absolutely hilarious. The jokes were family friendly, the host was energetic and engaged the audience very well and the players were so creative! They have two formats - two teams competing against each other for points, or just one team performing the whole show. The actors/players and situations change every time, and audience participation keeps the show unique and fresh, so every single show is different! Each show is approximately 90 mins has a 10 mins intermission. There is also a small shop that sells popcorn, chips, chocolates and soft drinks etc for light snacks. Parking was very easy in the shopping plaza and there are plenty of other food places nearby to grab food before or after (Jubba is a favorite of mine). I highly recommend this as a family activity, girls night out, team event or just because! I definitely will be returning. read more

Exceeded my expectations. A lot of energy among the cast led by a great emcee in Matthew. The sketches were funny and fast pace. The evening never dragged. You could tell they were having fun and doing this for the joy. And, the early Saturday show is rated G so you can bring your kids and be out of the theater by 8:45. read more

Excellent service and well-designed interior space. The comedians did a really good job with some of the difficult suggestions that the audience provided. I appreciate the free entry to their adult After Dark show after attending the Comedy Sportz show though the second show was a bit rough--it felt like they needed the structure that Comedy Sportz has naturally built in. The cast (and therefore humor) lacks some diversity. However, if you're racking your brain for something to do, a Comedy Sportz show (not After Dark) is worth checking out. read more

I went to check out the show, as they are coming to our Business as entertainment... and wow, I will do this again and again... Soooo funny... sooo fun... I have to go again and again, just to learn what all the GAMES are....! Highly recommend, just good family fun... have dinner and this show - BEST date ever!! JOAN read more

We came on a Saturday evening for the ComedySportz 7:00 show and stayed for the "midnight" show (which is actually at 9pm). The actors/performers were extremely talented and hilarious, and you could tell they were having so much fun on stage. Though the sports theme is fine (performers dressed in sports gear, and split into teams with one referee, in which the winning team for each bit earns points), the 7:00 show was a bit disappointing. There were tons of kids in the audience (I believe a bday party), and the performers spent a little too much time explaining things, making it sound somewhat cheesy to make it fun for the kids, and weeding out unusable suggestions (ie. tweens not following instructions, or shouting out words that didn't fit what was being asked). My friend and I agreed that this somewhat spoiled the experience for the adults (first show only)... but then again, I'm not 100% sure if it's due to the kids in the audience, or that's just how they do things for the ComedySportz performance. I've never been to an improv show that spent so much time going over instructions, and other places provide enjoyable experiences for adults knowing that WE GET IT once actors start performing, we don't need to be taught how to clap or unnecessary commentary or slapstick comedy to grab our attention and keep us engaged. I don't mind kids being there (it's a great family activity), but I think the ComedySportz team/staff could find a better balance between making it feel like a kids show and just a regular show for adults. The later show was amazing and a big reason I'm giving 4 stars. The performers were in plain clothing (no longer the sports theme), and the Cluedunit murder mystery with audience suggestions and involvement was super entertaining, and they were able to use adult language and themes, and take adult suggestions from the audience. And it was three parts, the murder mystery, a series of plays on a suggested topic from the audience, and a game at the end. Had me laughing the entire time! I definitely liked the long form improv (midnight show) better, and it's a better deal, half the price! But I'd give the early show a chance again, to see maybe if this place is always full of kids for the ComedySportz and if it makes a difference. We had a wonderful time overall regardless. Other notes, they have a concessions stand serving snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, and there's a 20-25 minute break between the ComedySportz match and Midnight Show on Saturday night (early show was about 1 hour 30 minutes long). Also, there's plenty of parking outside in a shared lot for the plaza. By the way, if you check in on Yelp, you get free whapners. No, it's not a candy... but if you need a pair of fly swatters (one red and one blue), this is your chance to get a set for free! read more

went to the 7 pm saturday show and it was so funny my face hurts from laughing and smiling. i will def come back to see the after dark show because I feel like it will be more unhinged and hilarious. also there were some people who came for their birthdays and now I want to do that too and think this place is great for any occasion read more

I used to go to ComedySportz as a teenager and always had so much fun, so when I saw it show up near the mall, I had to go back and take my kids. They loved it! My teen wanted to go back with her friends for her birthday party. Everyone had a great time. It's a relaxing night of laughter that is so much appreciated in a stressful world. read more

On improv comedy club. The owners are really humble and sweet. I came to a show with a bunch of friends. The host in the front was very accommodating and letting her sit together and went out of her way to make sure that we feel comfortable. There's a Great snack bar. Family friendly. From what I understand, they have classes, offer, teambuilding, and have shows that include some members from their improv classes to enlighten the audience with improv games. read more

Took an improv class here and loved it. There is a lot of history to this spot and the teachers and owners clearly love what they do. I highly recommend coming here for a class if it is of interest to you or checking out a show for sure. read more

We had a great time! :) It's a small venue and the comedians were awesome. The format of the show was new and interesting to us with a referee and several different "games" the teams could participate in. I recommend checking this place out! We also stayed for after dark which was for 18 and older and also very funny! read more

love coming to comedy sportz! it's one of the best things to do on a friday/saturday night in the south bay. affordable entertainment where you're not looking at a screen?? insane in 2025. my husband and a couple of our friends are also taking a class and having a great time. read more

Comedysportz is always a good time in DTSJ! They used to be on 2nd street in the same building as Psycho Donuts, and offered other concessions. It's a fun improv outing to do with families/kids (earlier show), groups, and even date night. The concierge is very professional and the actors are all very bright and witty. They even teach improv classes! read more

We went here for a family group night and had a blast. Lots of laughs were had. Concessions sold but no alcohol, so it isn't like a comedy club in that regard. They take time to explain how the show works before you begin. Fun times! read more

it's kid friendly and great fun! We go almost weekly at this point and appreciate that each show is unique. they're always hilarious!

Saw a bunch of shows then took a bunch of classes. Then saw a bunch more shows. Hidden gem in the south bay. Would definitely recommend.

Love this place! So much fun! A great family experience as it's very interactive and entertaining. I am a loyal fan. read more

Great show suitable for all ages! Talented and funny performers, a unique experience every time we come!

We loved to go pre pandemic, but haven't ventured since. Still, it was always a good time, accessible and funny. The improv varies depending on who is on stage, and often shows are family friendly for people with teenagers. Highly recommend them. Deducted 1 star because the tiny movie theater they were in was pretty run down. read more

I signed up for the beginner class with Jeff on a recommendation from a friend who also signed up for improv classes and was a performer of the Sunday shows. The beginner class helped me get out of my comfort zone and become a better listener. It's a great way to network with other people and improve your public speaking skills. Pre-pandemic I also took my little sister here to watch a show and she loved it! They call on guests from the audience to participate and she was their little volunteer for one of the games. She had an absolute blast and laughed a lot. Most of the seats in this theatre are good, but I'd not recommend the first row because my neck hurt after a while. The third or fourth row is just right and if you tend to use the bathroom or get up to get snacks a lot, I definitely recommend the aisle so you don't disrupt the audience members. I learned that the hard way. I hope to check out another live show when things get back to normal. Bring the kiddos to the show and make it a family affair. Parking is validated for the parking structure and you can go to the concessions stand inside the theatre to get the validation. I'm all about the free parking! It's a definite plus and takes the stress off when driving downtown having to search for a parking spot. read more

If you've never been to an improv show, this is not the place to start. Why? They are so polished and so funny, any other improv show will pale next to these wondrous artists. Taking bits of info from the crowd and turning them magically into an entertaining scene is their talent and they do it well. The whole concept is two teams of three competing against each other to see who can entertain the audience better. Sounds like fun, right? It is silly, inventive, ridiculous and a night that will leave your belly sore from laughter. They have two shows each night - an early 7:00 show that's family friendly and a later show that cuts a little more edge. They take these lines very seriously. If someone during the first show, on stage or in the audience, says something that is not completely wholesome and age appropriate, they make you wear a bag on your head for the rest of the scene. My friend found this out the hard way. If you end up with the brown bag, they will give you blow by blows of the scene so you don't miss too much. The improv games change every night and so do the players. They even pull people from the audience to plays games and keep the audience involved constantly by asking for suggestions, comments and votes. Oh yes, you must buy Judges Wopners so you can vote. Named after a old tv show judge, the audience votes for blue or red team by holding up fly swatters of the matching color. It's impossible to tell you the true delight of watching Comedy Sportz. Just go and enjoy it in person. You will enjoy it. Trust me! read more

We hired ComedySportz to provide a private virtual show for our friends and family to celebrate our son's Bar Mitzvah. Because of the pandemic, we wanted an activity that could take place virtually and would appeal to all ages. The show was such a hit! They incorporated my son into several skits, which was very fun and made the show even more special. Many of our guests had never seen a ComedySportz show, and they have been converted to Loyal Fans! Working with Jeff Kramer ahead of time to set up the show was smooth and easy. We are so eager for ComedySportz to be able to return to their theater, but in the meantime, this was a great way to entertain our guests and also support this fabulous organization. read more

Yes, they are back!! I (and the whole family) loved this show years ago but they were forced to shut down due to the pandemic and then other problems but now they are back as good as before. Great entertainment for the whole family. We went there with kids from 8 to 18 (over the years) and everyone, kids and adults, were laughing non-stop. read more

Hilarious show last night! Love this place for when you are ready to literally LOL. Fun to see creative humor made fresh on the spot.

This was a great outing option for a family group outing. We came here when my husband and I were in from out of town. We met up with our friends who have 2 kids. We all had a great time!

I came here on a whim a few months ago and was surprised to see seats in the front row still available a few hours before the show! I didn't know what to expect coming in here but I have never laughed harder in my life!!!! They were very entertaining and hilarious and I loved the sports theme of 2 teams going head to head against each other. I will definitely be back! Protip: they kinda blast the AC inside the theater so bring a jacket if you get cold easily! read more

Amazing show! New location is great. Tons of parking. Round Table pizza right next door. Such a fun thing to do.

I have been to their shows multiple times over the years and I love it. Buying tickets online is easy and you get to pick your seats, there is a service fee of 2 bucks but since the tickets are only 15 bucks a person it's not a big deal to me. For all the laughs I do over the 1.5 hours it's totally worth it! It's a small venue which I also like and seems like you can get seats at the venue too if you don't buy them ahead of time. There are multiple games the 2 teams compete against and really the funniest teams will win. The referee asks the audience for the ideas and the improvers put on the show. I laugh so much every time and will be coming back again soon. read more
