Push Comedy Theater

This is a review of their Corporate Training program. It was a three hour class; and it was amazing how comfortable everyone was.
Our group is comprised of a lot of self-​proclaimed introverts. So, when I say that we’re not professional comedians, I’m totally serious. Our host was not only great at instruction, but amazing at finding funny in the mundane. Something that might’ve been humorous, he was great at pointing out where you could take it, how to make it even funnier.
I don’t want to give away the premise (you should sign up your group) but we came away with three very valuable and immediately applicable points.
If you’re looking for a unique team building event, I highly recommend coming to the Push comedy theater. Definitely makes me want to come back and take classes. As good as it gets.

I was looking for kid friendly comedy for my son. I google and found out about this place. I was a little nervous about the parking since the address was Granby Street but I had no problem finding a place to park. The theater was small but not stuffy. We watched kids perform improv and it was really good. I’d like to come back and see what the adult shows are like.

this was such a waste of money and time, It was like middle school theater class. Such random nonsense and no actual story line to follow. HORRIBLE

What an awesome place to have in downtown Norfolk! My husband and I have heard of the Push Comedy Theater through some friends who have taken improv classes there. We didn’t quite know what to expect, but we had the opportunity to see a friend perform at the March Madness 3 on 3 Improv Tournament. Tickets were only $ 5 each (a steal, in my opinion) and they can be purchased online. There is parking on the street and a parking lot in the back, but we decided to Über. Show started at 8pm, so we got drinks at Work Release next door (which I HIGHLY recommend since their happy hour specials are AMAZING.)
After a drink, we headed back to Push to grab seats. The check-​in process was super easy; if you pre-​ordered tickets, they already had you in the system. The theater is a 99-​seat venue with a small stage, high ceilings and intimately lit. They do have snacks (hot dogs, candy, and chips) and cheap and local beer for sale at the «Wiener Hole». We recommend you bring cash to make the transaction easier. Try to be early to the event so you won’t get heckled as you come through the door!
The show was so much fun and it was awesome to watch all the talented performers. It is so impressive to watch people doing what they love and having the time of their lives.
Every Friday since the first 3 on 3 Improv Show, we have returned to cheer on our beloved group «The Catnips»! It has become our new Friday hangout spot and we even told friends to join us! We will be back to see the FINAL showdown on Friday, April 1^st. I am really glad to see that the NEON arts district is blooming into a much-​needed and refreshing part of Downtown Norfolk.

Loves this place. We have made it a regular outing with friends. Great humor, great staff/​owners/​comedians. Hoping for a few more beer options in the future… but really no big deal. Support local, try this out and you will have fun!

We just saw «Panties in a Twist» and had one the best belly laughes ever! Perfect venue! If you haven’t been, you are missing out!!!

Went here twice. The first time was storytelling on theme which when I went was betrayal and trust as it was during Ides of March week. I didn’t know what to expect as tix was $ 5. However, I was impressed by the show, 6 great performers telling their hearts and showing their emotions while making the sad stories somehow very hilarious.
Went on a 2^nd date to an improv competition. Not as good as the storytelling as some groups weren’t that funny (at one time the music next door’s bar when a not-​so-​funny group got me thinking of leaving to join it lol). Maybe it’s luck of the draw that I didn’t get good improv groups. I see a lot of potential in this place and it may not be $ 5 per show in the near future. It’s good entertainment to bring a date or friends.

Went to see «The Pushers Unscripted» at Push Comedy Theater for the first time ever on 3÷6÷2015 with a friend. We didnt know what to expect, but glad we came out. For $ 5/​ticket, you can’t beat the price. The improv comedy was fantastic and hilarious. This is definitely, my go to place now if I want to check out some improv comedy. It is a nice little break from your stand-​up comedy you see around here.
I love comedy of all types. Never really attended an improv before and this being my first, it left me with an overly, excited lasting impression of IMPROV. I will be coming back!
They had a concession stand with snacks. The staff were friendly. Conveniently located on Grandy St. The atmosphere was fantastic and laid-​back but cool and open.

It was very cool. Sometimes different for a night out. They need more of a selection of alcohol but other than that it was very cool. My wife and I really enjoyed the comity

Had SUCH a great time last night at the Push Comedy Theater. Husband and I went on a whim for the first time and will absolutely return again with friends in tow. It’s a unique and affordable way to do something fun and out of the ordinary. Truly a hidden gem in Norfolk. The show was absolutely hysterical and all performers were like seasoned pros– even the newbies who performed for the first time last night in front of an audience. Keep up the great work, Pushers!

For Norfolk Virginia, the Push Comedy Theater is right on time! This place is great for a fantastic evening out! I am very excited for all that this theater has to offer, and according to their list of classes there’s something for just about everyone! Most likely the weekend shows, unless otherwise stated, are for adults only, so get a babysitter and have a great night of immature fun! So glad this venue is here!!!

The Wiener Hole… has everything you would want. Hotodgs, Natty Ice, cider and good quickly brewskies. This fine dining establishment even throws in a little entertainment on the side. Ed, Shawn, Brad, & Alba will have you laughing so hard you might just very well spit take your delicious beverage. Local comedy group poking fun at the 757 (Mermaid Handshake anyone???), highly recommended for Girls Nights, Date Nights, Guys Nights… f*ck all types of Nights! Get there and show some love to the locally own, locally run, sketch comedy and inprov group The Pushers.

The entertainment is guaranteed to make you happy. The theater is gorgeous, and there’s a great beer selection! And if you like hot dogs, this is the place for you! What more could you want?

Great group of generous, funny people! I cannot wait to watch this theater grow and to be a part of it is even better!

Went to their first show in their first new studio last night — super funny — like I came in thinking this is going to suck — but guess what it totally didn’t — comfortable atmosphere — affordable drinks and food — and two blocks away– will be back!

Teaching comedy is like teaching someone how to breathe. You either got it or you don’t. I signed up, went to one class, and realized I do not «get» their style of comedy. I’m all for fart jokes, but not ones that cross the line and poke fun at people with gastrointestinal diseases. It might be fun to go to one of their performances on acid or something in the future, but it might be more frightening than funny.
