Yelp.com Review - by Joey M.

4 of 5 stars. Tonight was my first night at the Asylum. My front row tickets were $20.00 a piece with no drink minimum or cover. The cast was peppy and on-point through the whole show. I normally don't enjoy improv…

Not that funny

The waitress is to pushy. The worried more about selling drinks than the show. I'll pass next time. Some people were yelling and ruining the show. Some other people that had been there before said that...

4 of 5 stars. As long as my ass isn't down on that stage, I'm a big fan of the Improv. The Improv is dank, most of the time smelly, but the bucket of beers makes all that go away.

Definitely Interactive

Audience participation fuels the comedy, fair share of hecklers as mentioned in others reviews, but that's probably because they are really pushy about drinks. I'm from NYC and even the comedy clubs here don't...

4 of 5 stars. As you enter the theatre at Improv Asylum, Rule Number One hangs on the wall: "Shouting PORN! is not original". And that pretty much sets the standard for the rest of the evening. I think some people…

There is nothing improv about this place. It is well rehearshed with a few "name" and place changes ! I sat at the side and could see them going through their script at the back.
