Arcade Comedy is an amazing gem in the heart of Pittsburgh's Cultural District (downtown). It's BYOB with a $5 corking fee and hey, that's fine with me. It's all about supporting local talent & believe me, the 'Burgh has plenty. Intimate theater and truly not a bad seat in the house. Show tickets are very affordable. They have performances for everyone from improv & standup to sketch and more. It's crazy how much I've laughed at shows. Best way to spend a day or evening. Staff are super rad. Support local artists. Support local venues.

It is designed for those 13+, but they do have a family friendly show once a month. Because the theater is so small, there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

This is a great place for a unique date night. Definitely check it out even if you don't think magic is your thing. You might be pleasantly surprised.

We are able to learn so much in just 4 weeks and it is such a safe space to practice getting out of one's comfort zone. The instructors are all great! They primarily focus on long form but do also have short form classes too. They periodically host jams and shows as well. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to try out or continue their improv journey! They typically do try it out classes beforehand as well for a low stakes way to see if its something you want to jump into!

The improv actors are very skilled, and they seem to offer something different nearly every single weekend. The theater has a fun, indie feel to it.

Definitely big enough for a large group of tables, but close enough to the stage that you never feel like you have a bad seat in the house. The menu includes themed drinks and a range of food choices which you can order prior to showtime. The staff is friendly and attentive to the tables through the first part of the show. The show itself was exciting and tongue in cheek at times. The Altar Boyz brought energy and comedy to the room and kept everyone engaged - even bringing up an audience member for one of the numbers! Great reminder for me to never sit in the front! Haha I can't wait to come back to see another show soon! Thanks to Rachel and the CLO for another great event!

We visited the CLO for the first time this last week. I was very impressed with the facilities. I…read morereally like the set up with the tables, reminds me a little of the Improv design, except those tables were entirely too small for four people to actually eat at, so good thing we were just nibbling on the yummy Yelp snacks. I can't say enough about the show we saw, Judge Jackie Justice. I would go see this show again in the future it was that good and the CLO seemed to accommodate the backdrop for the show perfectly. The staff seemed very professional but also extremely on the slow side. We ordered some drinks right when we got there and we were 30 minutes early for the show. Well the drinks showed up about two minutes before the show and not all at the same time. I got mine while my H was still waiting for his. 30 minutes is really excessive to wait for a drink, and they weren't cheap so please don't make me wait so long to wet my whistle. Continued with the slower service the waiters waited until the end to hand out checks. I guess this was ok, but it seems like they should have handed those out 15-20 minutes before the show was over so people could square up and leave when the show was over, not wait for 15-20 minutes more to give your check with payment to the server so they can charge you. We thought we could go out to the bar and pay there. Well we were wrong. I actually ended up ordering another drink finished it and paid for that one at the bar before our waiter came to collect our tab. I think in the future my best bet maybe to just pay cash or order at the bar to begin with. Otherwise loved the place and look forward to coming back to see another great show!

I went for my 40th birthday & the actors made the show so much fun! I've been to a few mystery dinner theaters in the past and this was one of my favorites! The food was great quality banquet food. When you get in the room, your salad is already served and you have a choice of balsamic or ranch dressing. They also serve warm rolls and butter with your salad. You get a small charcuterie board for the table, which is pictured in my post. We had a choice of roasted chicken, roasted salmon, or grilled vegetable Napoleon. My boyfriend and our friends had the grilled chicken, which they liked. I had the grilled salmon which was cooked perfectly and served with a sweet sauce & rice pilaf. They come around with coffee & dessert at the end of the dinner.

We're so lucky to have such amazing talent and so many amazing shows come to Pittsburgh every year. We're also starting to get some of the most popular and current shows from Broadway. The concerts are so much better there since it's a small venue and most seats are good seats. They have artists from all different genres which is nice too.
