The Groundlings are alot of fun! Improv is pretty funny, and these people do it best. A must see if you are coming to Los Angeles.

Basically, one of the "farm leagues" for a lot of your favorite comedians on Saturday Night Live and in movies—from Will Farrell to Melissa McCarthy and so many more.

Every show is different yet equally hilarious. Small audience makes each show unique and intimate. Plus you'll recognize your favorite SNL cast members on the walls as alumni

Wed nights that girl from The Progressive commercials performs. Street parking is easy (if you can parallel park). Not too crowded.

Check out the shows during the week! The Crazy Uncle Joe show on Wednesday's is a good night. Very talented people here and this was a starting point for many who went on to do Saturday Night Live.

The stage has been scuffed by some of the finest improvisers in the West. Host to many great weekly comedy nights! No booze. Not recommended for under 17 due to occasional raunchiness! Read more

Intense, professional improv. Slightly less bizarre and experimental than UCB.

The best value for your buck is The Crazy Uncle Joe Show. 90 minutes of long form improv. Guaranteed to laugh the entire time. Every Wednesday at 8PM. Read more
