Q: When are your shows?
A: We host regular shows on the weekends fall through the spring and pop-up performances at additional times and over the summer. Check our SHOWS page or follow us on Instagram or Facebook for the most up to date information
Q: How do I buy tickets?
Tickets are available online through Volume One Tickets or at the door (if we’re not sold out!). We recommend buying ahead.
Q: Can I bring my kids?
Great question—and while improv is unscripted and unpredictable, the short answer is: usually not. Unless the show is clearly labeled “Family Friendly” or “All Ages.”
Most of our regular shows are best suited for audiences 17 and up. Think of it like bringing your kid to a Judd Apatow movie—there might be heart, there might be hugs, but there will almost definitely be inappropriate language, suggestive themes. We also often have stand-up comedians open our shows, and we don’t screen or censor their material ahead of time.
Nothing graphic is ever portrayed on stage—we're improvisers, not HBO—but ultimately, it’s up to you as the parent. Young audience members are always welcome at our all ages shows, they all of the fun without any of the F-bombs.
