    This was such a fun experience! I ended up coming to a comedy show they were doing for a fundraiser. We had so much fun! I've never been here before the staff was super nice and I was shocked at the drink selection they had. They had plenty of seating and it was a perfect view to the stage wherever you sat.

    What a cool unique experience! A large group of us decided to go and see the show on a Saturday night. And it was a great experience! The venue is so cute. They have a small bar where you can order drinks but not sit down. They offer like two of everything! So you can can certainly find something you like. They offer free popcorn! Amazing! A price you cannot beat! They have designated large men and women's restroom that were very clean. The staff everywhere were soooooo nice! If you get the performers a round of beer be ready for a big surprise ( I won't spoil if for you here). The prices are reasonable on everything. They offer student discounts which is nice. The show was great! We especially enjoyed garrett zajac and his recurring ladder. How funny! I've heard they have a rotating group of 20 and there were 6 in our show. So it might be different everything you visit. The crowd gives topics and suggestions so that adds to the fun. They got two girls up on stage at one point. That bit was pretty funny! It's a little like Whose Line is It Anyway where they play games it appears they have played before. And they have a keyboard Player that added music from time to time. It's a fun time!

    What a talented bunch of folks! My husband and I have been meaning to go to one of Front Porch Improv's (FPI) shows, but it just never seemed to be a good time to make all the arrangement for childcare and all the planning a date night entails when you have young kids. Last week, I had seen an event listing that FPI would be performing at The Savannah Cultural Arts Center on a Saturday afternoon and saw that it was a family friendly show, so I jumped at the chance and immediately booked the tickets to check it out with the fam. - Admission - Tickets were only $5 and were available to purchase directly on FPI's website. Children 5 and under were free. It was a super easy process where you just indicate the number of tickets you desire, plug in your credit card number and then they send you an email with all the tickets. - The Show - The show was awesome! I am still in awe of what these actors do on the daily. They don't have a script, just a bunch of random ideas, which means, they have to wing it ALL. OF. THE. TIME. They have to be quick witted and think on their feet with whatever the crowd throws at them. And with kids, it's even more challenging, because some of the younger kids just didn't understand the question and the kids give suggestions that don't make sense, but the group made it work anyway! I also loved seeing the actors chuckle at their own ideas as they were developing them and acting it out and the way they were feeding off of each other. Sometimes, I think it's actually funnier to watch someone laughing than what they are doing to make you laugh. It's contagious, don't you think? The show was about an hour long and I think that was the perfect length, given their target audience for this show. They got all the kids involved in the last skit and the kids loved that! - Heads Up - 1. FPI is the group behind Savannah For Morons, the comedy trolley tour with two guys in rompers, claiming their twins. Hmmmm...perhaps brothers from another mother? 2.They are in the process of renovating their own space to perform and it will be ready in February 2020! I can't wait to check out one of their shows for the mature audience after seeing the family friendly one. Laughter is THE best medicine and these guys are the best cure for any day!

    The perfect thing to do for a girls weekend in Savannah on a Friday night. Our group of five ordered tickets online and came in right at show time. We luckily (and slightly anxiously) we're still able to secure good seats in the front. This was my first improv show so I don't have a good measure for these things but I will say the cast is absolutely hilarious. They engage the audience frequently and also showcase different types of improv. A small but reasonable menu of alcohol is available for purchase-- wines, beers, seltzers, etc. This place fosters an inclusive and accepting culture that is undeniable- we talked with a few of the cast members after and everyone was down to earth, friendly, and relatable. Overall, I'm surprised we didn't pay more money to see a fun show like this. Definitely worth checking out when visiting Savannah or making part of your regular rotation of entertainment if you're a local!!

    This was a great experience. Live interactive raw comedy at a bargain of a price. We went for the 8 o'clock show and then stuck around for two more shows. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend Author David Moon Books on Amazon Zomosapiens Scales of Justice Pickle's Pickle

    Update time! So we finally got to make it to a Saturday show at the new Theater! I highly recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance because they do have reduced capacity. They also do zoom shows. I love the vibe of their new theater though! Parking is few, so get there a little early. Support local. Support comedy. Support performing arts! Most of all, have a great time. Unless you hate laughing.

    Great group of comedians! Had lots of belly laughs. Venue was nice too. Wish they served mocktails but that's ok, the Sprite was sufficient.

    I feel this may be a silly question,Curious if there is an age restriction?

    I think most of their shows are 21+. It's probably best to check the description of the show on their website though. We went to a family friendly one, where they got the kids involved in the show, but it was held at the Savannah Cultural Center.

    Absolutely wonderful & intimate comedy show setting. This is an up close and personal experience,…read morewhich is harder to find in the past few years. This was our first visit and excited to come back! The building is attached to Kings BBQ for delicious before show bites. We went for their "Golden Hour" and loved every moment. Glad we got there early because the parking lot does fill up quickly. There is additional parking around the venue, if it's full when you arrive. The entrance leads directly into a large bar area, with seating along the whole counter. Basically this area is half of the building so is surprisingly large. They offer craft cocktails, local beers, and wine by the glass. The second half of the building is the stage and seating. Personal space is a premium here as every spot is used for the audience. We saw 3 two seaters tables along the back wall as welk as a few tables in the front row directly at the edge of the stage. Both areas are considered "upgraded" seating/tickets. Use that info when buying tickets. The rest of the seats (at least for our show) are open seating. My suggestion is not to wait too long to find seating once the doors open. Not that there is a bad seat, but I do like to have choices. We had two openers and the main headliner for our show. Everything ran smoothly, with good volume and pacing. They then had a merch area set up after the show, back in the lounge/bar area. This got a little extra cosy but everyone was respectful. We would 100% come back for another show!

    Great smaller comedy venue in the Park Circle focuses on getting touring comedians. The space is…read moreintimate so it will be rising stars and not so much mega Netflix comedians. Mostly going to be a fan's fan of deep cut comedy. They also have a rotation of local comedians too. The bar is solid and they have a bonus room upstairs. Hitting King BBQ next door for pregame food could be the move before shows. I've been a few times and highly recommend for comedy lovers. The staff are friendly and quick with the drinks! I saw Sam Tallent here and of course hilarious! They are also part of Charleston Comedy week in the winter, but worth checking out any time of year. Cheers!

The plot was a bit confusing, but I feel the actors did a great job. Yes, they want you to laugh and have a good time. That's the point!

I came to have fun with my friends and enjoy a unique experience. And that is exactly what I got. I would recommend this show. I am even considering going back to see if I can play a bit part.

The actors should have mics!! And the food wasn't much better. The tortilla chips that were on the table for an appetizer were stale, and the entrees were mediocre, which all would have been fine if the performance we were there to see was fun. We were a group of 8 and so spent quite a bit of money. It ended up not being worth the money, so we left after the 2nd act.
