Pittsburgh Improv

Went to the Friday October 25th for the 7:30 Luenell show. There was a heckler *at the foot of the stage* who began right when the headliner arrived, constantly interrupting her for all to see. Hecklers are hecklers, and she tried to handle it gracefully, but would then lose track of her storyline and joke.Then there was a disruptive table, so loud that Luenell complained to the club and literally stepped off of the stage, pausing the show and pointing, telling the patrons "you need to tell the club". Yet she persisted. And they did nothing.Until some man in the audience screamed an f-bomb at the top of his lungs at the disruptive table, and it looked like there would be a fight. Security walked over slowly and meekly and apparently asked that they lower their voices. That was it!? Of course that too was to no avail - more talking, audible muttering and threats, and more shushing from nearby tables.This charged atmosphere and - lest we forget, the heckler in front of us all - continued until the ruined show was *almost over*, and then - only then, when the show was fully ruined - they finally threw out the heckler, ending in a mess of people on the ground outside, some woman screaming, and police cars, right next to the people in line for the next show. Don't ask us what happened next - we went the other way as fast as we could.Between food and "VIP" tickets, we wasted almost $500 and a what was supposed to be a family celebration on chaos, lax security, and a night that ended with an altercation and flashing lights in the parking lot. I no longer feel safe there, let alone would I take my girlfriend or any family members.

I really enjoyed the Lissow show !! The venue is small and a sold out show is cramped. I don't like having to sit at a table with other people, but I guess it gets more people into the show. It's a two item food minimum per person on top of the theater ticket. The food is really good I can't complain. The desserts were ok at best. The pretzel sticks and the mozzarella sticks were great. I'm not sure I would do this again give it a try the comedian was really good. Maybe only to see Jamie Lissow again.

Eh, I love live comedy. But this place has some pros and cons. Making the crowd wait outside in the cold past show time isn't a good move and how small the place are def cons. If you are claustrophobic you may not like this set up - Sitting with strangers at tables and in very close proximity. The service is okay. The good points - the food is good but expensive. And the shows are a good break and night out in Pittsburgh.

Great place. The food was tasty and just comedy club priced. The way it organized for seating was really done well. Great job staff. The sound system was clear and at a good level. 5 Starz for this place. Food, service, and the headliner and supporting cast to him this weekend.Perfect night out after bowling

Love the improv. Will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, great staff, very comfortable during the whole show. I love this place.

This review is to primarily focus on the food. The comedy club itself is great! Surprisingly, the food isn't that bad either. For how big of a venue it is, I thought it wouldn't be anything great but it's completely satisfactory bar-style food. There's not necessarily anything special, but nothing that offensive either. I had the fried pickles & boneless buffalo wings, both of which satisfied my cravings! The cocktails are actually really tasty (although quite overpriced, the best bang for your buck is going with a bucket of beer to share with friends). The only downside is that if you reserve a booth (as we did) you have to order through a server (vs the scan code on the table option), and service can be slowwww. Otherwise, however, I was pleasantly surprised!Food: BDrinks: A-Service: B-Ambiance: A+

We got there right at 5:30 when the doors opened. I picked up my tickets at the will call window and it was fast and efficient. There wasn't a lot of people there so we got in and the ushered you to a seat. We were able to pick our seats. We opted to sit on the booth side next to each other, there were seats for 2 other guests in front of us. If you don't go with a group of 4 you will most likely sit with 2 strangers. Lucky, their was plenty of seating for each couple to have their own table and no one had to sit with strangers. There is a 2 item policy where you have two items from the menu. Honestly, because the tickets to the improv is cheaper then a lot of other improvs, I can see how they have that policy in place. The food isn't bad surprisingly! We order the fried pickles and they were made fresh to order and came with two dipping sauces. I really liked the sweet one it came with! It came out hot and fresh! The nachos were ok. For $14 you would think it would come with a lot more. The cheese was not hot, I opted not to add protein because it's shredded chicken or beef. I almost got the street tacos but again it was shredded beef or chicken and I don't think shredded meat would taste good on a taco. The girl next to me did get them and it didn't look good like I expected it! We also got the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was huge! A lot of it was breading but the flavor was good and that relish slaw on the chicken was delicious! The fries were hot and seasoned well too! The service was great and the waitress came around regularly to check on us! The show was fantastic and I'm glad it wasn't to crowded!

We saw Tammy Pescatelli with openers Collin Chamberlin and Ray Zawodni (both Pittsburgh dudes, dope!) the night before New Year's Eve, and they all knocked it out of the park. We have seen a few other shows at the improv but this was hands down my favorite. Jordan was our server and she was attentive but not in the way. Kept our drinks full and was nice. The show was hilarious. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The 9:45 (actually like 10:20) show is a lot different than the 7 show. At 7, you walk in at doors, and there is rarely a line. The late show, you have to wait outside until they clear an clean from the previous show. Don't be dumb. Bring a coat if it's wintertime cuz your gonna stand outside for a while. Also remember, 2 item minimum at all shows. This can be a beer and cheese sticks, like what I did, or 2 drinks or 2 foods or whatever your fancy is. We have tried a few different items each time we go and they aren't anything to write home about, but good in the "bar food" class. We can't wait to go back! Happy Laughing.

Great spot in Pittsburgh to see national touring comedians in an intimate setting. They have a nice selection of cocktails and food and the wait staff does a nice job of keeping your drinks full and staying out of the way during the show.

Show started late but it was worth the wait, comedians had the place laughing all night long! Seats were comfortable, spacious and the place was clean! Oh and can't forget the amazing staff, 10 out of 10!!
