Came by tonight for a comedian hypnotist Gary Conrad. The show was good, entertaining…read more The menu had grown since my last visit but so had the prices. It was nice to have options to choose from, from salad to pizza to appetizers. I appreciate that they were not strict about a menu item minimum tonight. That actually had me more motivated to order! I decided to try the Caesar salad. Unfortunately I didn't love it. The romaine was fresh and crunchy but there was too much dressing and didn't love the glamour so only ate about half. Server was so sweet and attentive. She was really lovely. One thing that was very off-putting was the both behind ours. The group there was so loud. One woman in particular seemed intoxicated and talked loudly u to her friends throughout the show. She made multiple very rude and profane comments towards others guests and the comedian. I would have really appreciated seeing staff/management address this, out of respect for the performers and guests. I observed several guests look back at the loud table multiple times throughout the night given ongoing distraction so just a bit disappointing that this went unchecked. Nevertheless staff were very friendly and kind.

There are booths and tables, all which provide a great view, except you're assigned a seat already and if you're upfront and right underneath the comedians, not as great. Some of the drinks are a hit & miss- the lemon drop martini is good but for $17 a drink I would hope they would be uniform in the quality of the drink. My espresso martini tasted like chocolate milk and was watered down. But the lemon drop martini was good. Btw- Get the pizookie!

My husband and I went to NCT for a date night. The improv show we went to was on a Friday evening…read moreand I can't think of a better way to end the work week. Laughing that hard was seriously therapeutic! We bought sodas and popcorn at the front. The popcorn was tasty. Then we grabbed two seats (open seating, which can also accommodate those in wheelchairs or with physical disabilities). Amy was the host and she was fantastic at engaging the audience. All the players were truly hilarious, creative and so talented. We had a blast! Overall, NCT was a great choice for a date night. While we were there we learned some shows are actually clean family-friendly comedy (no cursing) so we are planning to bring our daughter to a show! This would be a great evening activity if you have family visiting from out of town :)

Attended recently with hubby plus 2 kids. Saw the Friday "storyteller" performance. We were all a…read morelittle disappointed. (Keep in mind we haven't been to a show since they moved to the new location). While each story had a few funny moments, they were fleeting. The stories were w-a-y too long and drawn out. Forget the kids (who were confused as heck) - I had a hard time tracking the action (maybe it would have been better if I had been drinking). So, if you've got kids, skip Friday night and go on a Saturday when two teams try to "out improv" each other. That's what we plan to do. Fingers crossed it'll be a better show.

My husband and I came here for his birthday to see Steve Byrne…read more We love comedy but we have littles and don't get out much. They had an earlier show at 4pm and it made the bday weekend special- yes, aware that sounds old. At 40 and as early-birds... if it doesn't happen before 5- it's a hard pass!! Ironically this was definitely noted in his act having a 4pm show! After parking and getting lost in the parking garage- yeah, we don't make it into the city much but we got a couple flights of stairs in for no apparent reason that would later benefit the additional IPAs we drank during the show ‍ I loved that we got sat right in front next to the stage. Before I go anywhere I look into reviews on Yelp and Google to see the do/donts, and deals/tricks. Yes, plan to get comfy with your neighbor- they sit parties across from one another. As a party of two we sat next to another couple and so on. I'll admit, I'm not a size zero and my husband is 6'5- it was a bit uncomfortable. I can't imagine being on the thicker side or even an elder managing to get out and maneuver around seated patrons to go to the restroom and what not. We knew the two drink minimum would be required so we opt for the beer bucket that included six beers of your choice mix/match accordingly. Worked out great since they had Church Music and we shared an order of wings as we had dinner plans later. Service was great! Our server checked on us multiple times throughout the show. Reviews mention that it gets hot in there since they pack everyone in. It was freezing and I didn't take my jacket. I would've went back to the car to get it but it's a walk and we got lost on the way in lol. In Arizona businesses overcompensate during the summer and you'll find you wear your jacket more in the summer months inside than during the winter. Parking is free- just make sure you take your ticket with you and they'll scan it. We will definitely be back- yes, drinks are overpriced and tickets were reasonable. As for the show- not bad. Great laughs carried throughout and it's always dependent on the act which should be a separate review from the venue. Looking forward to more date nights in the city for sure!

Seating was pretty decent and the menu was pretty good too. I chose the parm fries and OMG YES. High in price but delicious Also grabbed the special drink upgrade to get the free tickets.

Not bad at all, I had my receipt and apparently this happens often lol Can't wait to become a regular here, yes I will drive from CG because it's that much fun

Very nice venue for catching a comedy show. I really do enjoy when I see that one of my comedians…read morethat I like to follow is coming into town. I know if I get a seat here every seat in the room is a good seat. They have a very good sound system. I would say the serving staff are all very friendly here. I typically end up getting wine when I have to meet my two drink minimum. However, they do have several cocktail arrangements that you can choose from. What I like is that for each performer they typically will have a specialty cocktail designed around that actual comedian. So I like that approach. I usually like to catch the early show cause the crowd vibe is a little bit chiller. However, I've never had an issue at this establishment and will continue to catch my favorite comedians here. As I do think they extent a diverse roster of comedians. The last time that we attended, we actually ordered some food. And I really enjoyed the wings. I thought they did a really good job on the buffalo wings and the sauce was very tangy and the wings were fried hard as requested. All in all, it's a really good establishment with a parking lot and there are other places to dine and eat, near the establishment.

I went to the Improv on 8/21/26 to see Mark Curry. I try to avoid this place, Stand Up Live and…read moreothers because of the two drink minimum and the constant badgering of the wait staff for you to order the dang drink. I know the drill so I ordered as soon as I sat down so I would not disturb other patrons who are there to see the headliner, not the club staff. Where do I start with my annoyance? The $21.95 Nachos or the $8 Diet Coke? My bad, the nachos are only $17.95, the extra $4 was for guacamole. My bill was $41 for just me at a single table. Or my extra annoyance at the waitress at the next table that stood in front of me while Mark Curry was performing? Not only was she blocking my view, she was loud so I couldn't hear some of his set. Like girl, you work here so lower it a few levels and get out the way? Ugh! Unless it's someone I HAVE to see, I won't be back anytime soon. See pics for the overpriced nachos. Edit 8/29/26 Downgraded to 1 star for a response that spent more time berating me than taking my experience as an opportunity to apologize. Alex you have defensive energy and that could definitely be detrimental to a business.

We attended the 8:30pm show and there was a good number of attendees. The show was funny, entertaining, interactive and I really enjoyed the show.

While visiting AZ for spring break we were researching fun things for our family to do. My husband…read morecame across this experience and we had a BLAST! Coming from Los Angeles we can be real snobs with this subject as we have experienced great theater at places like Disneyland, Upright Citizens Brigade Improve theater and even The Hollywood Bourbon Rooms interactive production of Rock of Ages (sadly ended during COVID). It is wonderful to see this group has sustained for so long and many people rave about it. I even had a client in Los Angeles visiting from AZ tell me he had heard great things about this company, albeit not experienced it before. The show we saw was hosted at Maggiano's Italian Restaurant. The food is in alignment with the restaurant; oversized portions served family style with a limited set menu. That being said, they were able to accommodate my vegan husband and other guests at my table that are gluten free. The theater production takes place before and during your dinner in one of the private rooms at the restaurant. Everyone gets a character name tag so be prepared to be pulled up to participate. It's all a part of the fun. The room hosted about 20 diners/attendees making it an intimate experience. Perfect for all ages and laughs were shared all around. I highly recommend to any local or out of towner to spice up your dinner with this lively and colorful experience.

The self-appointed king of events is back at it with another venue review. My most recent conquest?…read moreHale Center Theater in downtown Gilbert. This charming theater is located in the thick of the heart of downtown Gilbert. As far as I could tell, they don't have a parking lot but there is plenty of free street and surface lots close by. Just a few minutes away by foot. All theaters have their pros and cons and Hale is no different. It's a intimate theater that probably can seat a few hundred people tops. Which means there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Well, let's talk about the seats. The space between seats is pretty cramped if you're tall (I'm 6'2"). Let's switch gears again. Concessions consists of snacks (no hot food) and beverages. During intermission, they bring a cart out to the stage so you don't have to go to the lobby. Nicely done! Reasonable prices too for a venue. The lobby area gets pretty packed right before the show. Rather than messing with the traffic jam, I went to the other side of the theater and went to the restroom there. It's a one person restroom (not ideal for a venue) but the restrooms by the lobby are larger. I saw Catch Me If you Can at Hale. Looking forward to my next visit!
