The Nest Theatre

Great place to catch local, live comedy and improv. They have a small but perfect assortment of drinks and snacks. Shows are typically an hour so it's a fun, quick date if you're looking for something more interesting to do.

I can't say enough about The Nest Theatre. Coming from a little bit of an acting background, I was ready to dip my toe back in after nearly a decade and thought I'd give improv a swing. I had no idea what I was in for. Improv training at The Nest is fun, kind, safe, affordable, and challenging (in the best kind of way.) I highly recommend the 4-level curriculum to learn the basics and gain confidence performing improv or honestly just confidence in general! :)The Nest Theatre = high quality training + high quality people. I can't say enough about it, whether you're interested in training or just looking to catch a show!! Some of my personal faves are the Armando, HERE The Improvised Musical, Commando + Storyteller shows. Columbus is just so darn lucky to have this artistic gem of a theatre! Don't sleep on it!

I've been to many shows at The Nest Theatre and always have a blast. Absolutely love Anonymous, Storyteller, Hive, Commando, and Here The Improvised Musical is an incredible performance. So happy Columbus has this incredible space for live theatre. I highly recommend the Nest for a show if you are looking for something to do or a date night!

The Nest is AMAZING. I've done improv training programs in Boston, San Francisco, and Amsterdam, and The Nest is by far the best improv education and improv theatre I've been part of, period. It's incredible! I've done the training program, performed, and seen shows here for the past two years and I don't have the words to say how phenomenal my experience has been on every level. The owners, Tara and Rance, have created a world class improv training program right here in Columbus. And the community is so special -- fun, silly, inclusive, kind, and vibrant. I've made lifelong friends. The shows are fantastic (and there are so many different shows to see!!). It's always a great time! Highly recommend you sign up for improv classes here or at LEAST go see some top notch comedy here. Truly, this community is life changing and so so special!! I love the Nest!!

A really magical place. Every show is full of energy and absolutely hilarious. The 4-level curriculum is extremely well thought out and the owners and all of the teachers put in so much care, attention to detail, and support in every single class. The performers are all very talented and kind human beings. Everything about this place is fun and inclusive. Highly recommend seeing a show and taking a class if you like it!

Stumbled upon this one quite by accident. I thought I was buying tickets to a regular performance but somehow it was a student showcase at the end of a series of classes. Tickets were only $10. I feel like we got more than our moneys worth. It was funny. The students were quite good.

What a delightful first visit to The Nest Theatre. The "Anonymous" show had us laughing our proverbial asses off throughout the entire set. Truly inspiring. Can't wait to catch another show soon.

My friends and I decided to see an improv show at The Nest Theatre a little bit ago because we wanted to try something different. The humor here is censored and a bit corny. I think we were looking for something different when we purchased the tickets. The show was extremely interactive and that is usually my least favorite part of comedy shows. The actual place itself was pretty nice! I enjoyed a nice beer with my show and the tickets were pretty cheap! Everyone here was very nice too! I also really love supporting local theaters. Hopefully there is a different show that me and my friends would like a little more!

Just awesome. Good people, strong and hilarious performers, and a regular supply of shows. I recently completed Level 2 training and starting Level 3 soon. Such an awesome chance to learn and grow, get out of your comfort zone, and meet great people. He instructors are extremely talented, and patient - which is definitely important. Can't recommend enough!

First of all, $3 Drafts (Miller Light). $3! I'm all about having that in my life though I really am tryin to watch the carbs Anywho, these guys and gals are funny hella funny! Bring a date, bring your family, or bring 10 friends that are kinda like family. They request that tickets be bought in advance but somstimes they can be bought the moment of as well. The atmosphere was very positive and the cast of the "long form story tellers" series where great. Get some tickets and beat the rat race to the other comedy clubs! Plus, this kinda stuff is very good for the community amd Columbus is always in need of great art and entertainment! It may not be important to some, but I was very impressed by the bathroom as well. I know it sounds petty, but how someone keeps a bathroom when their guests come over says a lot about them and ehat they think of their guests lol. Seriously.
