Go Comedy! Improv Theater

First time going to downtown Ferndale. Cool cobbled streets and plenty of benches under street lights outside canopied stores. Show was cool. Big pitcher of Long Island ice tea made for a funny and chill night out.

We went here for a New Year’s show. It was a little raunchy for my taste but still hilarious. I would recommend to anyone who could handle it, and I would definitely go again. Great personal and local feel!

Great little place!
I stopped in last night to see their Sunday evening show and was very happy I did. The place has plenty of parking, a very welcoming front of house staff, full bar (with very creative in-​house drinks), and intimate auditorium to watch the shows.
I was lucky enough to see one of the best acts out there (Future Kids) and was totally blown away by their performance. Great group, great fun, great setting. I’ll definitely be back.

3÷24÷16 Update: NO MORE TRIVIA! Bummed!
I’m loving Go Comedy for the Quizzo Trivia Tuesday’s. Kelly does a great job and it’s a nice venue over the standard pub atmosphere. Happy hour runs until 7 with deep drink specials and you can bring your own food in for your group without issue.

I’m usually not much of a comedy fan. However, Go Comedy ROCKS! The cast was funny and obviously smart. The Go Comedy space intimate. The wait staff impeccable. I will absolutely 100% go again.

Fun and different. I really enjoyed this show. The comedians are funny and quick. It is a great thing to sneak into the middle of a night out in Ferndale, at only an hour and a half. I would stick to beer and/​or shots during the show as the drinks are lacking in alcohol, unless you get it at the bar yourself preshow. Buy tickets a few days in advance for the show or you may not get a seat.

I have no reservations giving Go Comedy a 5-​star review. My wife and I have been there numerous times, and each time we end up leaving with swollen eyes (from crying due to laughter) and sore jaws (due to laughing so much and so hard).
The performers are hilarious, and you can tell that they truly care about their craft, and the enjoyment of the audience.
It’s a great place for a date, or to bring a group of friends for a night out.

Very funny, cheap, ok drink prices, nice people, alot like whos line is it anyway, like it very much will return, seen the all stars show jan 2016

I’ve been to a few different Improv Theaters, but they were not quite like this one. This one, as another reviewer said, is more like Whose Line is it Anyway, and an actual improv show (Imagine that!). It’s definitely different than what I’ve been used to, but I still had a lot of laughs!

Going to the Go! Comedy is a fantastic way to spend an evening. I’ve been here just twice, and I love it! I’ve recommended it to so many people. The people in the show are great, so funny and very friendly. Oh and I’ve won a prize each time I’ve gone so far! The have a bar, which serves some fun drinks. I cannot wait till the next time I go here.

Is laughing until your mouth hurts your «thing»? Does your heart beat faster when you watch strangers make a fool out of themselves for your amusement? Do you have some kind of sick fetish for men in dresses and wigs that act like women? Are you HOT for improv? Are you short of breath right now because I mentioned these things? Well then comon down to Go Comedy. I had a chance to visit this place on Halloween with my friends, and we had a blast. Well at least I did. Here’s the lowdown.
Pros:
+Bloody Marys are BLOODY DELICIOUS!
+Great improv moments. Straight out of Whose Line is it Anyways?
+Very friendly host, and funny as well.
+They swear. I love it.
Cons:
–Seats could be more comfy, but that’s just a personal preference.
–Kind of small. I dont think people who sat next to the wall had a very good view.
But I’m just nitpicking! Awesome place to go with your friends, or by yourself if you don’t have any.

I always have a great time! I’ve been on numerous occasions, they have a hard working and friendly staff!

Really funny and engaging comedy club. We went for the 10 pm showing and stayed for the free midnight show. Both were different and very funny.
They did a barrage of different improv games that were original and hilarious. Crowd engagement was high, and the night was great.
Full bar offered, and even local liquors from Two James were in the offerings. The drinks were a tad pricey, but it wasn’t outrageous. Plenty of awesome restaurants to eat at around the area.

Fun event that doesn’t require a reservation. Its different every night… hence the improv, and it’s a good deal for the entertainment you get.

Who the hell doesn’t love to laugh?!? I sure as heck do, and when I’m in the mood (or sometimes, need) to laugh, the one spot that always delivers the funny is Go Comedy.
Now I’m not a drinker, but I KNOW this place has great drinks. How do I know? It’s been voted on, and they recently one best bartender in Detroit. And the prices?
Man, the drink prices are f’in fantastic. Not only that, but the prices for admission to shows are absurdly low. Many of the shows I’ve seen there should have been double the price for admission, but hey… they do it for love of the game bro.
As if those things weren’t great enough, can I tell you just how perfect a date place this theatre is? Inexpensiveness aside, the atmosphere is perfect for dates. Listen guys, if you have a girl laughing and you’re sitting next to her, maybe even have your arm around her and give her the occasional flirtatious look, she’s remembering this night my friend. All the laughs (sorry improvisers) will be attributed to you and your shared experience. That is well worth the time and money in and of itself.
Also a great time, is attending with a group. It is SO super cool with going with a group and everyone having a shared experience; not to mention, the high probability of having an inside joke or two with a small group of friends pays dividends every year my dude.
Lastly, I’ve met the owners, and they are SO down to earth and nice, it would be foolish of you to give your money to any other place. So yea, if you want to experience one of the best spots in Metro-​Detroit for drinks and laughter, look no further than Go Comedy.

We had the Go Comedy! team perform a roadshow at our Company Holiday Party. They performed the All Star Showdown and it was an absolute blast. The cast had our entire company crying with laughter. Our company is already planning a trip to come see a show at the theater.
I would highly recommend any business hiring them for the next party. They provide great entertainment that is interactive and allows your colleagues to bond.
Keep up the great work! Thank you for an unforgettable night.

Short, Sweet, and to the Point…
Short…Low cost for very funny comedy
Sweet…Funny stocked bar and the prices are not over the top
Point…try it and see, or else LoL… or else you will be missing out
I have been there 4 times, long shows for the money and well worth it !!!
Two Thumbs Up !!!

This is one of my favorite spots in Michigan, and my spouse, our friends and I can be found here quite regularly. The staff and cast are great– very funny, personable and accessible to their audience and guests. The bar menu is phenomenal– excellent drinks, creative craft cocktails, and an extensive selection of local brews.
There are different types of improv, and it’s important to know what to expect in order to have the best experience possible. This is not scene-​work like Second City, but rather a series of improv games played competition style between two teams of improv’ers. The winners of each evenings competition are able to award prizes to members of the audience they choose to play for… and the competition (and thus the hilarity) is FIERCE.
This is an adult-​oriented, no-​holds-​barred comedy showdown, which means that swearing and sexual innuendo are not only likely, they’re almost mandatory; but they never resort to base shock-​value humor. The cast is smart, quick-​witted and incredibly talented.
Perfect for a first date (plan on a late dinner afterwards) and if you attend the 10:00 show, there’s another free hour called «Name This Show» afterwards, where they test out some new games they’re developing.
Highly, highly recommended. Best entertainment value for your money in Metro Detroit.

They should call it the All-​Star Letdown instead.
I was sorely disappointed. Their scene work is lacking. Never a relationship and rarely even varying characters. Mostly gimmicks and one liners. These guys belong on Twitter and not a $ 15, 90 minute show. I came a long way for this and want my money and my time back.
They have a nice theater and decent production value, but as improvisers they are beginners at best. I’d also just call them lazy: they resort to vulgar language and potty humor almost immediately. I’m not looking for a Disney show, but I’ve seen many clean shows that out this one to shame. Even others labeled «for adults» use the language sparingly and when it makes sense, not just to cover their shortcomings as an actor.
The host did decently though.

Go Comedy has been funny each time we’ve went or the audience has added humor to the evening (amazing how vocal people get when the drink). I love All Star Showdown because you get to win prizes (free passes, etc.) and it’s interactive. You fill out cards when you arrive and they pick people to play for. It’s funny because audience members put down crazy answers. The lineup changes monthly and they offer pay what you can on Sundays. Even penny pinching folks like myself can get a laugh. There isn’t food, but Ferndale has so many restaurants that you can eat before/​after the show. They do have a full bar for libations. The current great part is they offer sliders (from a local spot) and Treat Dream ice cream on Sundays (as of right now)! Go early if you want a spot in the parking lot or expect to pay for metered parking across the street.
This month: comedy on Thursday where you get a discount with your library card. So for all those who say reading is dead: ha! It pays to to have a library card:-)
