    Theater 99's stage. Here for a Friday night improv show

    Every time I'm visiting Charleston, I always come here! It's a great place to go with friends after dinner or out to with your family or even after a date. They are so funny and interactive with the audience. Super fun place! Totally recommend

    Every performance is amazing at Theater 99 aka T99. The merchandise is very unique and appealing. The staff always greet you with a smile. Theatre 99 is always a good way to wing downv after work. T99 is hilarious and causes the audience to have a barrel of laughs. Furthermore, the concessions are delicious! Overaal, the venue is well worth checking out! I highly recommend it!

    We had a great time during impromptu night. Having the bar available before the show started was great. Walking up those stairs is not for the physically challenged.

    For my first Live improv show, I will say that i am pretty impressed. When i got invited to a comedy show, I had already prepared myself for someone telling jokes and potentially roasting random audience members.This was from the case, instead there were 6 performers that night that put on various skits with plenty of crowd engagement. They would ask for suggestions and based of crowd input that is how the scene would go, no easy task, but the performers handled it no problem. I understand why they only want to have to the bar open during intermission, to keep distractions and disruptions down during performances, but drinks and comedy shows kind of go together and if you need a new drink you need a new drink. Overall this was an awesome experience, to be able to get out and switch things up from the normal going out.

    There's not too many night events you can do in Charleston- so Theatre 99 offers Improv nights and it was super fun and extremely funny to get to watch comedies act on the spot. Really a fun activity if you're in the area!! I'm all about supporting local businesses and artists and this is the perfect way of doing that! They also have beer, wine, and snacks you can purchase before going into the show.

    First time to experience watching improv comedy show. Absolutely hilarious! I highly recommend watching.

    A blast in a laugh. I didn't know how much I needed improv in my life until I went to Theater 99 ( twice in two weeks) once on a Wednesday and once on a Saturday. The groups are great and the ambiance is fun. Sets are short and laughs are plentiful. Even more fun with audience participation. Great view from any spot. Cash bar, don't forget :)

    So much fun! I just discovered this local gem, which is tucked away behind another building. Tickets were affordable and I was laughing throughout the whole stand up comedy show. I do advise getting their early because seating is first come first serve and I noticed that larger groups who arrived later had to separate in order to find seats. Street parking available nearby

    We've now been several times and always leave with belly aches of laughing so much and new inside jokes we take with us for life. Most recently we caught a "take the funny and run" show and were not disappointed. Greg and Brandi have performed at each show we've been to and man are the experts in their field. Being an improve show of course the crowd tries to stump or embarrass the performers but those two never miss a beat and roll with any and everything thrown at them and turn it into pure comedic gold. It's clear they love what they do which makes it all the better. Timmy was the third performer on our recent visit and he also did well but wasn't as seasoned as Greg and Brandi. The theatre does also offer a cash bar for select beer/wine/seltzers/ soda/water and a some snacks. We found the option to buy a round for the performers a unique and fun way to show appreciation for the team. I'd recommend arriving when the doors open if you have a large group or are seat picky. Also shout out to the back of house/ sound/light gent- he adds hilarious commentary and calls out hecklers. Will be back many, many times.

    Improv smackdown! Excited!

    Theater 99 is a great place to come and laugh your butt off! Every time I go, I have a great time. Make sure you get your tickets early, though. It sells out quick! Wednesdays are the best time to go in my opinion. It's only $5 and the crowd is usually locals and regulars. It's more personal in my opinion. But you really can't go wrong on any night they are performing. Inside they sell beer, wine, sodas, water and snacks. There really is something for everyone and you don't have to drink to have a good time. I would recommend this place to anyone that is visiting or even if you live here! It is definitely a great place to go for a date or to start your Saturday night out!

    this was a very good show for long form improv. Greg saved most of the performances and it was great. I like the non long form type better. good as oddlot improv in savannah.

    Theatre 99 is one of those places I keep planning on writing a review for but, I have so much to say I never know where to start. I have been coming here for years and have even been lucky enough to be a volunteer at the theatre from time to time. It has always been one of my favorite things to do downtown and is always the first thing I think of when I have out of town guests. It's a small improv theatre and typically has shows on Wednesday, Friday, & Saturday nights of each week. If you go on Wednesdays, it's laugh for a lincoln and the shows are only $5. On the weekend's shows are around $10 and if it's a festival like the comedy festival or Piccolo Fringe then expect to pay around $15. Either way, it's probably the most inexpensive and entertainment filled way to spend an evening. Unlike most comedy clubs you may be used to, there is no drink minimum and the beer and wine is actually really cheap. Make sure to bring cash though... no credit cards allowed jerks (they do have an atm though)! I have never left here without having some great laughs. Some shows are better than others but one thing is that they are always different. The people here are amazing too. From the company members, to the employees, to the owners, they all work very hard to continue providing entertainment at Charleston's only comedy club week after week. Thank you all for being awesome!

    How fast do tickets sell out? Can we buy the day-of and be safe?

    I agree with Scotty. Also be aware that seats are not assigned, so if you are worried about sitting together, get there early.

    Love improve comedy and interested in taking our 15 year old. We understand there will be adult content and are okay with that, just want to make sure they will let him in before purchasing tickets for the Friday night show this weekend?

    I warn people it's pg-13 rated.

    But alas, I do have some friends who think improv isn't their thing or they just don't find it that funny.

General admission on the first floor including all seats and the floor is amazing ... not a bad seat in the house ... and they don't seem to oversell the shows. Perpetually keeping their line up on my radar !!!

    We attended **The Charleston Christmas Special** at the Charleston Music Hall, with tickets coming…read moreout to about $75 per person after taxes and fees, and overall it just wasn't for us. The Charleston Music Hall itself is a beautiful, historic venue--intimate, well-maintained, and known for hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events. The seating is comfortable, sightlines are good, and acoustics are solid, which definitely worked in favor of the vocal performances. The singers were clearly talented and did a great job vocally--everyone sounded wonderful, and there's no denying the performers can sing. However, we personally felt that the show didn't quite feel like a full "production." It leaned heavily on straightforward singing, with limited storytelling, choreography, or theatrical elements to tie everything together. This may come down to expectations and personal preference. Growing up around Broadway shows in NYC, we're used to more dynamic, story-driven performances with larger production value, and this didn't quite meet that standard for us. While others may enjoy it for the music and holiday spirit--especially in a cozy venue like the Charleston Music Hall--we would probably not attend again, particularly considering the ticket price.
