First time ever to a comedy club. Perfect for the whole family, we laughed almost the whole time. I could not believe how quick these folks were on their feet! Super talented and fun to watch. So much interaction with the crowd in this very small theater. Even the keyboard guy was amazing, setting an appropriate tempo for the musical pieces so that the actors could enunciate and giving audio cues from movies, TV shows, and singers/groups. We had tons of fun and will be back! Thanks for a great show!

Saw two shows at this great intamate theatre in one night. I had enjoyed the first show so much, I took the actors advice and went to the next show! The talent and of the actors at Annoyance is phenomenal! Non stop laughs, and true musical talent. Improv shows run all night through the weekend. Check out The Annoyance Theatre for an amazing way to kick off positive vibes for the weekend. Sweet staff, and actors. I'm so thankful for the experience. Can't wait to go back again. The shows I saw were, Steamworks: The Musical, and Hitch*Cocktails, and I'd gladly see the hilarious shows again.

There was one line to purchase tickets and one line to enter, took us a bit to figure that out. Two drink minimum. We had a blast! Went for the 10pm show, the comedians were hilarious, especially Calvin Evans, even the emcee (Carla, maybe) was amazing.Seriously, good comedy. We look forward to going again.
