So fun getting back here! Took a class with Jeff years ago and was excited to see their new location and introduce my friend! Another great show as always! Everyone was fantastic! Russ was the best energy, bantering with us a we waited for the show to start! Love that they have food now! The fries and mozzarella bites are so good! Kaitlyn is also such a darling! Laura, Dan, and Russ were amazing on stage! read more

First time at JesterZ Comedy Improve in Downtown Gilbert. Grand Nephew was part of the cast and had no clue what to expect. JesterZ offers classes for all ages, corporate events and fun for the entire family with audience participation. Reminds me of an informal very small community theater stage with some options for food and non alcohol drinks. Fun show, entertainment for the entire family. Ticket for show was $5 and sold out. Free parking in area. read more

We had an awesome night at JesterZ! The group kept us entertained and laughing, we ended up going to the second show and it was a totally different show. Right in downtown Gilbert, perfect date night after grabbing dinner nearby! Highly recommend read more

So here we were at Jester Z Improv Comedy to enjoy an evening of comedy. Besides our grandson was one of the performers. We couldn't miss this for anything in the world. Half of Nate's is for the customers that come in to eat and the other half is set up with the seating for the ones that come in to see Improv Comedy. I must tell that this happened to be an unusual evening as there were more people than seating so they had to add an additional show. There were family members, friends and relatives so the place was packed. I have to admit that I didn't catch the guy's name who presented the way the Improv would go. All who were performing were beginners to Improv Comedy. There is a lot of audience participation with the audience giving suggestions on what will be the next sequence of the comedy and as I said this is improvisational. The performance was incredible and hilarious to say the least. If you are interested look there next show and be prepared to make suggestions to what the performers will do and say. I definitely enjoyed myself as did the rest of the crowd attending the show. I will definitely like to return. If this is what you might like to get involved look them and all ages are accepted. The place is located near the corner of Gilbert Road and Page Avenue. read more

Stopped here to check the improv out with my friend who took a class with them years ago. Found it to be a fun and silly way to spend an evening, just delightful! The staff, five star actors Laura, Dan, Russ and owner Jeff were all wonderful and it was really fun being a part of the show. The food was also great, we shared fries and got to taste them mozzarella balls. So good! Fry sauce was great! read more

JesterZ Improv Comedy - Where all the fun happens - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We did a Saturday 9:00 show and they did a great job. The improv was funny and kept clean for family friendly entertainment. The food was okay. I got a cookie and ice cream and the cookie was a let down. It was brownie style but all the chocolate chips were on the bottom. The ice cream was really good and other's food around me looked good. read more

My wife and I attended the 6:30 pm show on a Saturday night at JesterZ. There was a large crowd for this casual small space, but everyone has a great view of the comics. Initially, I thought the $25 ticket prices were high, but after checking the Tempe Improv price ($176/person) I now think that $25 is a great price! If you have ever seen the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", JesterZ patterns their improv comedy after that. The comics did a great job and the MC kept things moving and involved the audience throughout the night. Food and/or drink purchases are required. We shared a side of sweet potato fries and a couple of drinks. Burgers and chicken fingers are also available. read more

Fulfilling Improv Comedy: I just had my first experience at the new location in Gilbert, with a back-to-back (the 6:30 and 8pm - yes, it was that enjoyable) helping of extremely good humored, feel-good improv at Jester Z. Fun, refreshing, smooth and well paced, en point humor. Clever, witty and good natured - I haven't laughed so easily in months! Audience participation and interaction was warmly encouraged. Very easy going atmosphere and a genial & smooth dynamic between the cast, whose genuine enjoyment of what they were doing, shone through. Wasn't expecting to enjoy so throughly - it's in a very tiny, but well lit space, that lends itself to the intimacy of friendly banter and clear, easy to follow quips and word play. Definitely recommend treating yourself by yourself, with a date or grandparents, and/or your kids. Good fun all around. Absolutely every reason to go. Family friendly which lol, isn't to say boring. Kept at a nice clip without any franticness. Round the corner from the Hale Theatre and steps to music and dinner/dancing afterwards (trust me you'll be in the mood!) read more

I'm so happy JesterZ Improv is back open! We love this place. The improv is so funny and it's a great air conditioned escape from the AZ Summer and super entertaining and worth the money! Highly recommend! read more

The new Gilbert Jesterz location is a cozy place compared to their Mesa venue. But the location is near so many great restaurants. Recently went a show for someone's birthday. Everyone had a great time. The performers are all so talented, the laughter filled the room for the whole show and we have the best memories from our night. Highly recommend going to see a show here! read more

Biggest scam of all businesses!! Rarely let me emphasize that rarely do they have a comic that is worth the money you spend in the hour and a half or two hour time you're there!! GFY ‼‼ read more

I was in town for 24 hours and had to make sure going to JesterZ fit in my schedule. Life is better when you're laughing and JesterZ Improv will definitely keep you laughing. This is most definitely the best clean comedy troupe in existence! JesterZ is most definitely a must see! You won't regret it. read more

Had so much fun watching the improv show. It was so well done. The pace of the skits, the laughs, and the energy. The emcee was go good in getting the audience to participate and really knows how to orchestrate a funny show. read more

I went back to Jesterz after many years. This time I took my family too. They laughed a lot and really enjoyed the interactive process. My son liked it so much that I signed him up for their Summer camp. He had so much fun. Thanks to Jef, Lincoln, and Sean. They teach them life skills and boost their creativity. We will definitely come back again. read more

Fun time! ^_^ We enjoyed it. It was a full house. Plenty of parking. Family friendly show. AC wasn't working efficient enough. Most of the audience were fanning themselves. Great way to conclude hubby's birthday week. Bring a fan or something you can use to cool you off while laughing your butts off. We will return, and we recommend you do as well. ;D read more

Hilarious loved the comics, everything was better than expected. Note they don't serve alcohol but they let our party bring some in.

This place was great! My friends took me here as part of my bachelorette weekend and it was a perfect activity. The space is open, clean, with lots of seating in the theater and a large lobby with a snack bar. If you check in or do some sort of social media post, you get a free bottle of water. I checked in on Yelp to take advantage of that offer! They also offered a discount on some items if you did something else on social media (I can't remember exactly what). But that was really nice of them to offer some freebies and discounts! The show itself was hilarious! It's family friendly so you don't have to worry about crude comedy and even though they had to keep it fairly PG the cast did an excellent job and everyone was cracking up. I especially loved when I got to be the inspiration for a skit as they asked me questions about my upcoming wedding and how I met my fiancee. The cast did an amazing job performing it and I was laughing so hard. I would love to come back for another show. Very impressed and highly recommend! read more

Took my sister here for her birthday (psst, her ticket was free!) and while yeah, it was kinda hokey, we still had some laughs. It feels less like a professional show, and more like going to someone's house that you don't know very well but they're all friendly and someone's really extroverted cousins are there saying outlandish things. read more

We enrolled our daughters in a summer improv class and they seemed to really enjoy it at the time. Fast forward a few weeks and my 13 year old daughter started 8th grade in a new school without knowing ANYONE. Within the first two weeks of school she has made a ton of friends and today in the car she says to me: "I think the reason I have made so many friends so fast at this new school is because of what I learned at that Jesterz summer camp." WHAT!? Woohoo!! This not only made my day/week/month to hear but I am sooo grateful to Jeff for helping teach my kids valuable life skills at a super critical point in their development. She said Jeff would reference books like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and helped with overcoming fears holding her back in social situations. Last year my daughter was asking me to get her therapy for feeling easily embarrassed and awkward at school. Jesterz summer camp turned out to be better than therapy and a game changer for her. SOOOO grateful for Jeff and his amazing talents and his amazing company. Jesterz for the WIN!!!! read more

We've been to JesterZ before as a family and we were excited that Jeremy Warner was coming as a special guest. His performance did not disappoint. JesterZ is a fun, family friendly place to spend an evening laughing together. The comedy is clean and appropriate for all ages. Our teenagers thought it was absolutely hystercial. It's amazing to see the spontaneous creativity and talent of the improv performers here. I would have enjoyed myself a little more if the room temperature had been a little cooler and the chairs weren't quite so close together, but overall, we had a fantastic time here and will return again soon! read more

Wow, what a great cast this place has! The show was hilarious, very interactive with the audience. From walking in the front doors to finding my seat, I was blown away with how awesome this place is! The show was about two hours, and I didn't stop laughing! There is many talented people! Hands down one of the best shows I've been to in a long time! read more

We had the best time at the show we went to last weekend. The Shanna Day Real Estate team hosted a Jesterz event and the laughter was contagious. Way to go Jesterz for putting on a clean comedy show. Can't wait for the next time we can see your show. read more

What comes to mind when somebody mentions "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Laughter, right? Even side splitting comedy, unique scenarios and improvisation. Well, Jesterz is no different. Located in the Papago Plaza at the corner of McDowell and Scottsdale Road, the spot, called Theater 168 due to the location, is tucked into a retail plaza. Blink and you might miss it. Yet, once inside, don't let the decor (or lack thereof) fool you. This isn't about props and paint swatches. This is about comedy, performed on the fly with audience participation. Come prepared to laugh so hard, you almost choke on your gum, like I did. Come prepared to participate, to voice suggestions, topic ideas, emotions. Watch a cohesive team of jesterz weave together comedy - right before your eyes! It's suitable for all ages and is an absolutely perfect date idea. Or, go with friends and family. Bottom line: Just go. You'll leave feeling cheerful and energized. And, if you're like me, you'll be talking about the jokes, the comedy, the laughter, the fun for days and days... so much so that you'll want to go back! Basic info: The Jester'Z perform every Friday and Saturday night at 8:00 & 10pm at Theater 168. Tickets are $12 for the 8pm show and $10 for the 10pm. There is no age restriction and never a drink minimum. (Concessions available at the snack bar) read more

We just had Jesterz come out to do entertainment for our Valentines Dinner at church. I can not speak more highly of this group. They are hilarious, our entire group was laughing non-stop. It was an hour of side splitting, cheeks hurting, tears flowing, laughter and smiles and we are so thankful they came on a holiday to bring joy to our dinner event. Paul, Jeff, thank you so much for making a lovely night even more memorable, thank you for taking time out of your holiday and spending it with us. We are just incredibly thankful for your group. And Shurlin, thank you for helping get this organized and being so kind and patient with us, you all are just amazing. We will for sure be in touch for future events. Thank you again.

The improv scene in the Valley is something I really love, so much that I even got into taking classes and eventually became part of the Jester'Z improv troupe in Scottsdale. I went back to Jester'Z to check out my pal, who had a class show. He's only in the first level class, but I was so impressed with how well everyone did and am excited to see the growth at their final class show. They're definitely on the way to becoming great performers and may even make it into the regular troupe. Jester'Z has shows every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tickets are $12, and that gets you a 1 1/2 hour show where audience members give suggestions that the troupe takes and turns into short comedic scenes. Jester'Z is extremely consistent with its shows, providing a steady stream of laughter on any given night. Many of the improvisers are also actors in other media, such as film and television, and the troupe is extremely professional. Having been a part of it, I know how hard the actors work and how seriously they take the troupe, and I highly recommend Jester'Z as a fun night out.

Walked out halfway through show. If you like homophobic and racist jokes, then this is the place for you. Wish I could get a refund of our time and money. This crowd loved it, though. No, thank you. Edit: This was during a stand-up comedy night. So maybe the Improv nights are different? I hope... read more

If you want some clean laughs and fun, comes to this comedy club. This club is all about improv, meaning everything that happens is made up on the spot. The host has alot of games setup for the comedians and then with the audience's input the comedians must make up on the spot hilarious stuff. There isn't alot of props in their shows, it's simply clean fun and jokes. It reminds me of the show "Who's Line is It Anyways". You can bring all ages to come. Also, if you check in using your yelp account, you can get a $2 snack credit that pretty much gets you one free snack at the bar! BTW, there is no alcohol at this joint! The parking is super easy too. read more

** TIP ** check social media for discounts and two-for-one ticket offers! What a fun little hidden gem! I had never heard of this place, but a friend brought me here for my birthday, and we had so much fun. This is true improv, like the show "whose line is it anyway" (not standup). So the audience's suggestions feed into the skits and games. Snacks and drinks are very reasonable, and t Ike's were a pretty reasonable price too! Please note that this is a family-friendly club so they don't sell alcohol, and you won't hear dirty jokes. Don't be surprised if you see kiddos in the audience. I'd definitely go back! read more

This is a great, family-friendly-without-being-lame-or-childish venue, filled with talented improv artists meeting that same dash-filled description. Well lit, well run, and the right mix of personal and professional, with a great audience participation element. However, it does get super quiet in there, and if you happen to privately meow to your wife, the entire audience and performers may hear it and wonder what the heck just happened. Not that I know from experience or anything. #thatwouldbeweird #Iamnotweird read more

I attended an private event for the Shanna Day Team that JesterZ provided the entertainment. First let me say, I am not sure how they could pull it off, as our society has gotten so sensitive to so many different issues and (rightfully so). Let's be real... you could get offended by any number of topics if you desire when it comes to comedy. Comedy has made a living at being offensive. JesterZ did an amazing job at staying politically neutral, religiously sensitive, and not make fun or degrade any race what so ever. AND provide us with some awesome entertainment and laughs. I did not think it could be done, but they pulled it off. I would recommend everyone go see them, or even hire them for a private event and laugh harder than you ever have with good clean comedy entertainment. Great Job! read more

I went for a Saturday night show recently (my first time). I enjoyed it overall. Thought tickets were a little overpriced honestly - I've been to other comedy shows and it wasn't this high. I liked that it was family friendly but still very funny. And if you tag them in social media posts you get free snacks and water too! I think I will be back, just not on a regular occasion. read more

Just watched a great show with my family! Creative, lots of energy, laughing in stitches--Well worth it! read more

My husband and I have been itching for a date night! We were at a loss at what to do besides dinner and a movie. So we stumbled upon JesterZ and had no idea at what to expect! We ended up having a blast and will definitely be back in the near future. It was so funny to see people just having fun and laughing. The environment was awesome and we laughed like we hadn't laughed in a long time. Loved that it was family friendly! read more

This is one of my favorite places to take out of town guests. It never fails that we laugh so hard our sides hurt! Always fresh, always funny! Great place for a date night or family night! Even my teenagers love it! I never have to worry about offending my guests because their content is family friendly. To finish off the night, head down the street to "The Sugar Bowl" for fresh ice cream! read more

My son attended the teen charismatic connector camp last week. He is 14 and acts like it too. He learned so much about communication in 3 days!!!! He came home and shared about the opening activity helped him learn about himself and speak out. He also made some friends who he continues to communicate with even after the camp. They also have him a free ticket to the improv show this weekend. We went last night as a family with our two girls ages 9 and 5. They laughed belly laughs. It was an amazing experience. read more

My first time to an improv and I was skeptical. I don't find it funny to make fun of people and those comedienes who resort to excessive profanity and dirty jokes to get a laugh are NOT funny. The show this evening was not any of those things and made me a fan of JesterZ - clean, funny, my grandkids had a great time and I laughed more than I have a in a VERY long time. They involved the audience and really did a great job. I'll be back to JesterZ! read more

We were in Scottsdale for Thanksgiving and I didn't want to sit around the hotel all evening. Luckily, Jesterz has a special Thanksgiving Show. The performers that evening were Dalane, Garrett, Mandy, and Paul. Since it's improv, you never know what you're going to get. Dalane, Mandy and Paul were good but OMG, Garrett was amazing! For one skit, Garrett had to pretend he was an iPod so he stuck out his belly (the dial) and rubbed his belly in a counter-clockwise motion to "select" the music on the iPod. I know, it doesn't sound funny when I describe it but he was fabulous. I didn't laugh very hard the first half hour, but that's pretty common for me when I go to comedy clubs. I just needed to warm up. It was an enjoyable way to spend an evening. read more

A diamond in the rough... After missing a movie Saturday night we were looking for something to do at Mesa Riverview and walked past this place (twice). It wasn't clear if this would be the best improv place and my husband was skeptical but the price of $13 was right. I dragged my husband in kicking and screaming and we sat in the back. With his arms tightly crossed with disapproval some of the skits started to make him laugh. By the end of the night he was laughing so hard he was in tears and even took time to thank the management for an unexpected great time. He wants to bring people back here! 5 stars...husband approved, right price, clean good comedic fun, & we got FREE PIE from PieFection because it was 3.14201592653!!! read more
