Improv (Los Angeles, CA) Bar / Comedy Club / Restaurant

BEVERLY GROVE, LOS ANGELES –

Those who love a good, politically incorrect laugh will want to make a beeline for the Improv, one of the best comedy clubs in the country featuring an eclectic group of comics telling very edgy jokes with very little filter.

Once the stomping grounds for legendary performers like Bill Cosby and Steve Martin, the venue now hosts some of the best contemporary comedians in the world, including Chris Rock, Demetri Martin, and Sarah Silverman.

An outside wall adorned with larger-than-life caricatures of greats like Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, and Jay Leno greets patrons before they enter into a bi-level dining area and bar, both of which draw mixed crowds of college kids, young professionals, urbanites, and twenty-something entourages who pack in for pre-show drinks and appetizers before making their way to the stage in the back room.

Besides the trademark brick wall, the performance space features rows of tightly-packed cocktail tables alive with tipsy chatter until show time, when the place explodes into laughter and even a bit of heckling.

For patrons who don’t mind being the brunt of some mild but amusing harassment, the Improv provides a hilarious and lighthearted night of drinks, jokes, and endless entertainment.
