This is about an hour and a half show. I guarantee you will be laughing from the beginning to the end. Magician is also very entertaining and does a amazing job we sat right in the front row get there early. We could never figure out how he was doing the magic. All I can say is awesome show. You will not be disappointed.

Comedy sketches by this group of comedians are as funny as any Saturday Night Live show! The crowd was laughing out loud during the whole show. It is family friendly comedy.

Backdoor Comedy Club

Voted “best comedy club” by D Magazine and Dallas Observer, Backdoor Comedy is the city’s longest running stand-up comedy club, and after 20 years, still reigns as the hot spot for comedy in North Texas. Shows feature eight or more comedians per night including national touring comics from Comedy Central, Showtime and NBC’s Last Comic Standing, and the best of the local pros. By having a variety of comics on each show, The Backdoor gives audiences the opportunity to see a diverse group of performers, each bringing their own unique style of comedy to every show. The coziness of the Backdoor takes you back to the roots of stand-up and gives you the intimate atmosphere of the original comedy rooms in NYC and LA. Catch stand-up comedy “how it was meant to be seen” at what the Dallas Observer calls “the hottest comedy showcase room in the Southwest.” The Backdoor has become the "go to" spot for birthdays and other special occasions. Each person celebrating gets their own personel shout-out during the show. And travelers enjoy the convenience that the club is located inside a Doubletree by Hilton hotel. Reservations are recommended.

The Hideout Theatre

We are in the business of improvisational theatre. We make up all our comedy, plays, and sketches on the spot (unless otherwise noted). Short form, long form, Chicago-Style, NY-Style, CA-Style, Austin-Style - we do it all (especially Austin-Style, it's our specialty).We host and produce improv shows Thursday through Sunday. For some of the shows, we invite independent groups to perform (everything you see on Thursday night, for instance) and some of the shows we personally produce (everything you see on Saturday night, for instance). In addition, the Hideout is downtown Austin's oldest independent coffee house. We are open morning to night, weekdays and weekends and serve beer, wine, fresh sandwiches, pastries, ice cream, as well as an assortment of beverages and coffee drinks. We proudly feature vegan ice cream from our friends at Sweet Ritual and our specialty craft cocktails were designed by Laura Nixon of Bad Dog Barcraft. You can bring food and drink from the coffee house up into the theatre to enjoy during a performance!

Tucked away in a coffeeshop this theater is small, but delivers. The cast were outstanding and the show was amazing. This was the first time we attended an improv show and were blown away! The show we saw ran about 2 hours with an intermission. The seating is first come first serve, but the theater room isn't very big so you'll get a good view regardless of where you sit. If you're looking for something great to do in downtown Austin, check this place out and help support these artists! By the way, you can get paid parking at the Bank of America parking garage (even after hours) for about $7.00. It's about a block away from the theater.

Capitol City Comedy Club

Reviewed By MyronHobizal - Round Rock, United States

Went to see the Sklar Brothers Nov 14th with someone who I thought was more than a friend. The club itself was nice and it was a fun show. A lot of great talent up on the stage. We both enjoyed the show. I'd definitely recommend Cap City to anyone looking for a great night of comedy. Get tickets early for the reserved seating. Just beware this may not be the best venue for a date, unless you already established a relationship. My date was very reserved and focused on the show instead of both of us focused on each other. I tried to grab her attention but apparently it wasn't enough. I got put in the friend zone immediately after this venue. If she wanted more passion from me while at the show, she could've gave me a hint. I'll remember next time to turn up the heat and provide more passion and intimacy on the next person I take here. :)

Dallas Comedy House

Reviewed By 991morgank - Flint, United States

My boyfriend and I stopped in a Saturday night to see an improv show and stand up comedy show and loved it! It had all local comedians and was great. It was a great date night activity. We loved it so much, we went back the next day for their Sunday afternoon improv. Their drinks were great and everyone was very nice. GREAT service. We had a great experience here and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun hour or two!
