    Monday night improv
    Sandy T.

    Came across improv by chance on eventbrite. $10 show (not counting processing fees ~$3). You have to place ticket orders at least 1 full hour prior to showtime or the site blacks out ordering. We missed the window but were able to buy tickets onsite with cash and no processing fee. The address led us to an unassuming building which had a handwritten note posted on the door directing us to go to the purple house across the street. We crossed the street, walked down a thin sidewalk along said purple house to the backside. Warning: it's a rinky dink place but don't runaway. We did arrive too early, 15 min before showtime and were asked to wait on the stairs outside the tiny dark theater, but still in the house. We went to our car instead since it's cramped. Came back at "showtime" but it didn't start til half an hour past advertised showtime so don't show up on time. We were offered free hotdogs and chips. That was unexpectedly nice. There were 3 groups with the show lasting 2+ hours. A guest team, another team, and the home team. The first two teams were iffy-okay but the home team was hilarious. They were much more seasoned. If you only came during the first half, it might not have been worth your time, but the later half was. Note: They are nonprofit and if you donate beyond your ticket price, it's a tax write off.

    I love Planet Ant for burlesque. Such a great vibe, nice crowd & the bar is cool too. I'm always on the look out for events there.

    Went to see a friend perform with her bf. It's a similar concept to Go, but a bit more run down than Go as far as the stage and setup. Still some interesting sets. Apples and oranges improv team were well paired and played well off of the other and were quite funny. The performance stage is across the street from where you would think in the yellow/gold building where it says anthill above the entrance.

    We had 4 of us attend the great musical parody of the Castaways. Original and so funny. With a small theatre you are closer to the show.

    A great place to watch funny people do improv comedy and serious actors do theater. And just a ton of talented classy people.

    I have a love/hate relationship with improv from my days living in Chicago, but I don't hate anything about Planet Ant.

    Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

    The Fillmore Detroit was host to an outstanding author event! It was for our former Vice-President…read moreKamala Harris. It was a sold-out affair. We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.

    Awesome venue from the friendliest ushers when you first walk in to the personal feel of the small…read moretheatre. I know everyone has said it, but there really isn't a bad seat in the house (to the point where I'll probably never pay for anything other than the cheapest seats). It is very clean. I prefer this theatre to larger ones...you feel much more involved with the show & don't struggle to hear/see, so you get all of the details. Great for a casual, cheap date. I also liked the convenience of everything downtown has to offer being right outside. Parking was a hit too- even though Monster Jam at Ford Field & another show at The Fillmore were going on, we were able to park behind City Theatre for ten bucks. Maybe it was just a lucky day, I don't know. Venue aside, I have to say that Robocop The Musical! was amazing, maybe even the best show I've been to. Impressive, clever, localized script and talented actors that made me laugh on a day when I was super sick & crabby. I am so excited about what a great night I had at this place!

    Went the other day to see "Ernie." It was a great show. We parked at the Fox Theatre parking…read morestructure for $5, and were able to get right into the theater just before showtime at 8. The show started at about 8:10, and was over by 9:40 or so. I must compliment the theater on keeping the temperature at a nice, cool, comfortable level. It was pretty hot outside, so it was great not to be actively sweating during the performance. It was a great night.
