This crew was so funny! Me and my girlfriend had the best time. The room is a little tight but the space is what it is. There was the perfect mix of sketches and improv. They also have free non alcoholic drinks which is a nice touch!

Seeing this group was awesome! We had a blast! The entire crew from the ushers to the bartender to the comedians to the piano player to the lights person, I’m sure I’m missing others, were hospitable and hilarious. So happy we heard about this and watched there late night show. We even stayed for the later show and are happy we did! Thank you all!

Yes, they do ask for a lot of participation from the audience. But don’t worry, no one was put on the spot and all participation was voluntary! Show was hilarious, I especially loved the bit where they took one audience member, interviewed her, then put on a performance of a day in her life. It was so funny, and the crowd was busting up laughing. It was a nice late night activity to do while we visited the city from out of town. Be warned: unless you want a bar, the restaurant options after the 8 pm Thursday show are incredibly limited! I have no idea why most restaurants are closing so early around the north end, because there were so many people packed on the streets. My suggestion is to eat beforehand or do your research ahead of time to eat afterwards.

For the rest of my life I will talk about my experience at Improve Asylum. It was an experience of a lifetime. I can not think of a time I have laughed harder. The fact that they involved the audience and created a fun and uplifting atmosphere made it even better! I would recommend that everyone go!

Questions & Answers

wanted to get tickets for a relative living in Boston. Do you have to know a specific day you want to go or can you get general seating tickets and gift them?

Different shows have different prices. It would be best to find out which day/time your relative is willing to attend before booking.

Yes. Online works best. But remember if you watch the main show that you are admitted to the late night midnight show afterwards for free.

Hi Nina -- We typically post shows typically 90 days out, so January will be up very soon! Also, a gift card is a great option and will allow you complete flexibility as to when you want to go without locking you into a date!

What time do the doors open for the 7:30 pm show ?
