The flagship of the Improv chain is one of the most legendary clubs in Los Angeles—maybe the country. It’s not just a club, it’s a scene. On any given night, you can walk in to see one of your favorite comics sitting at the bar, and the main room acts are never a letdown. Come early, as seats do fill up fast, and order some food or drinks to meet the two-item minimum. The shows are an eclectic mix of experimental and independently produced, often boasting appearances by well-known and respected comedians (think Craig Robinson, Whitney Cummings, Anthony Jeselnik and Bobby Lee).
