We go to see the Knights of the Arcade. They recently moved to this new building, and it is much nicer than the last. The stadium seating has movable chairs, and with the way they try to pack the theater full, you must be chummy with your neighbor. They almost always sell out the show. Update: The theater still has very strict COVID policies in 2022, so be sure to read them all before heading down.

Went to see Chrissy Costa's Broad Squad. It was an all female stand up comedy show. So funny! It was great to see stand up from another perspective than the usual schlubby dude who can't get a date. Would definitely go back to see this show again.

Their covid-19 restrictions are ridiculous, was going to go see a show I thought maybe the information on their website was outdated but it turns out they still have archaic covid-19 restrictions no thanks

Hey Chuck! When our theater is open for indoor shows, we typically offer snacks at our box office — candy, chips, etc. We don't offer anything in way of prepared food. But we love recommending restaurants nearby to visit before or after the show

Can I bring someone under 21 provided we’re not drinking?

Nick G | Nov 7, 2020
Steven Terrill | Nov 7, 2020

Yup, they have wristbands for those over 21, and they have shows that cater to younger folk too.

Hi Scott! Arcade hosts occasional improv comedy jams from time to time — including an LGBTQ improv jam quarterly. But every Thursday night at 10pm, we go and support the Pittsburgh Improv Jam, which happens at the Greer Cabaret Theater a few blocks away.

There's a Thursday night Improv Jam every week, but other than that there isn't a stand-up comedy open mic night.

Are kids allowed

Caitlin Weiss | Nov 8, 2019
Empathy White (Scooter) | Nov 8, 2019

Yes, but many of the shows are 16+ or 18+. If you want a child-friendly show, they offer shows just for kids! Check out Penny Arcade which is bi-monthly.

I see online that the establishment is BYOB.. do they also serve/sell beer and drinks there? Or do i need to bring my own drinks?

Julie Vaswani | Nov 8, 2019
Christine “DjAnonymously” Meadows | Nov 8, 2019

You have to bring your own alcoholic beverages and they will ask you to check it in at the front desk. They do sell non-alcoholic beverages though.
