The Improv

I love comedy and going to comedy shows. When we received two free tickets to see a show at the Improv at Harveys, and it coincided with the time we were going to be at the lake, i jumped all over it. Free is good.
The showroom is medium size and they sit you one half hour before the show starts. Seating is first come first serve.
There are waitresses to take drink orders.
There usually is two headliners and a mc who warms you up.
If you want to laugh and have some fun, come over to the Improv.

The comedy was great ! The seats that were had were just regular chairs in the second row which were not that comfy. It was like sitting in a conference room. There are only 2 servers, they are busy so be patient. There is a $ 6 fee ticket. JUST MAKE IT PART OF THE COST then it won’t feel make people think «why am I paying a convenience fee? I came to the box office &I didn’t purchase this on line.»

We were in town for a week to celebrate our 20^th anniversary. Chose this as one of the nights out. The comedy was so-​so, but the theater itself is small and cozy. No bad seats, everything is close to the stage.
The main reason for my review is to warn you to NOT order a mixed drink, of ANY kind. You would think I’d be safe with a martini, but no. What I got was the remainder from the shaker a half hour after the bartender made the last one for someone else. Seriously. If you make martinis at home, you know what I am talking about. My wife’s cosmo was equally as dismal. We switched to beer after that, since I know what is coming in the bottle.
Our headliner was Judy Gold. A quick note to Judy… we get that you are gay AND jewish. It’s funny for about 3 minutes, then you should move on. When you have to remind the audience «that joke was funny!», it probably isn’t. Lastly, the audience knows it when you give up and go to the «F_​_​K» everything routine. We enjoyed our evening despite your little outburst to the audience member personally.

Kivi Rogers is about as funny as anyone ever!!!
My wife and I laughed until our sides hurt.

Came here to see a show during my last trip to South Lake. The venue was alright, but nothing special. The staff was nice and helpful.
One annoying thing, however, was that we were seating on the right side facing the stage, near the door. Throughout the show people, would leave the room to go use the bathroom outside, but the door would lock behind them so people locked out would just start knocking on the door. As you can imagine, that is distracting when you are trying to watch a comedy show. No staff member was stationed by the door to open it, so audience members kept getting up to let each person back in. Seems an easy fix would be to unlock the door, or keep someone staffed there throughout the show to make sure the door is opened when it needs to be.
Other than that, it was nice that there was no drink requirement and the local comic who MC’ed was pretty funny. The headliners were good too, and change every few days, so I would check it out again next time I come to town… I would just sit far from the door.

We Always appreciate good comedy. Tonight we got a mixed bag. The host was funny followed by a funny guy named Duchene and the headliner, named Fine was not so. He was OK, not great.

This place is geat and under appriciated.
Where else can you get comedy five days a week at a reasonable price.
They have an opening act and a headliner and Howie as the MC.
Sure not all the comics are on any given night but I have found that 90% of the time the shows are funny and well worth the price.

This really is the best entertainment in town on most nights. Comedians change weekly, and are good to great. Howie the host is good as well.
They are dark Monday and Tuesday.
