Amazing comedy, amazing classes, amazing people, just amazing! Columbus is lucky to have improvisational performers and teachers of this caliber. Great for a date night or night out with friends! And ComedySportz is all-ages -- fun for the whole family! Tara & Rances show Here! The Improvised Musical is top Chicago-level comedy right here in Columbus! See a few shows and before you know it, youll be signing up for classes!

Show is hilarious. Brought my husband and he only likes humor as dry as the Sahara desert. He actually enjoyed the show. Beer was worth it. I will be back

We love going to The Nest for a fun night out and Im always recommending it to people looking for a new idea. Ticket prices are comparable to going to the movies, but Im more likely to enjoy an improv show. Ive never felt like Ive seen the same show twice, whether its Comedy Sports or HERE the musical.

I signed up at The Nest for a Level 1 class to work on my public speaking abilities. It was such a fantastic experience that I signed up for Level 2! The atmosphere, instructors, other students - everything and everyone was encouraging, incredibly funny, and applicable. With your class pass, you can watch the real shows for free, and they are wonderful too! Please support this piece of the Columbus arts scene!

Magical! HERE The Musical was entertaining, creative, and heartwarming. Tara and Rance are gifted improvisers! They playfully explored strengths and frailties of the human spirit (while singing!) to the delight of the audience.

The Nest is a gem. They put on a diverse batch of shows that includes musicals (HERE!), family-friendly short form (think Whose Line Is it Anyway?), and tons in between. Beyond the performances, its a super friendly space and community. You can feel the warmth -- each time I go, Im in a better mood for the week.

Love this place very much. I signed up for classes back in February and ever since I started my own podcast, my own business, and improv team. Ive made genuine friends, while being in a safe and loving environment. This community is a hidden gem in the city. Its creating a platform for people of all walks of life to display their creativity and inner talent. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Taking classes at the Nest has been one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Theyre the perfect mix of challenging and rewarding, Tara and Rance are not only amazing on stage but also fantastic instructors, and youll be hard pressed to find a more fun and welcoming community. If youre thinking about giving improv a try, you absolutely should - and the Nest is the place to do it!

Fun place to go! The shows are short though, and they get sold out quickly.

Here the Musical is a world-class show. Entertaining, poignant, and funny as heck. Tara, Rance, and Music Director David Schmoll are among the best in the biz at what they do. You gotta see it.

I went to see my coworker in ComedySportz. It was a great family friendly show. I enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to going back and seeing her in the musical show.

Really fun place for a date night. The comedy was clean, but still geared to adults. The only thing that took away from it were two younger fans that appeared to be regulars. They were loud and shouted during every “game.” The drink prices were a little high ($7 for Captain and coke), but overall good experience. Would definitely try again.

Was in town for the weekend and stopped by. We went to a ComedySportz show on Saturday night and it was awesome! Crowd and host were very engaged and the preformers did an amazing job. Their venue is very nice (apperantly it is new). The only small thing was that it was slightly difficult to locate. Perfect hole in the wall improv theater!

The Nest Theatre is the only dedicated improv theatre in Columbus owned by two talented, funny, and kind people. I highly recommend taking classes here and coming to all the different shows showing all the different styles of improvisation. The Nest is a top notch professional theatre and a wonderful addition to the entertainment scene.

Last weekend I took a Musical Improv Camp at The Nest Theatre. I learned so much but most importantly I learned confidence. If anyone has told you that you cant sing or that youre not good enough this is the nurturing space you need to be!

I went during their ComedySportz event on a Friday. I had a great time! The show was hilarious and the comedians and staff were friendly. I had also been here one time a couple months prior with a date and a great time then as well. Highly recommend!

I took my entire family to the Christmas show and everyone had a wonderful time. This will definitely be a holiday tradition for our family. The Nest offers world class comedy right here in Columbus. Great location, great performers and teachers. For a really fun evening, catch a show of Here!

Very funny show. We attended the Comedy Sportz for a very reasonable price, and really enjoyed ourselves. The comedy team had a nice camaraderie, making it easy for the audience to join in the vibe. This is the kind of experience I would expect in a larger city, nice and unexpected to have in Columbus.

This place is brining IT to the neighborhood. The owners are talented and super delightful. This place is bringing opportunities that Columbus has been missing...open mic, improve and fresh backdrop to explore.

The best and only dedicated improv home in Columbus, OH. Moved here from NYC and was welcomed with open arms by everyone in the community. The teachers are top notch and the shows seems to get better every week. Also, its always a new show, so whats not to enjoy! Definitely add it to a list of weekend entertainment go-tos!

I had an unpleasant improv class here. They tried to run a class with four people. I was only told after it fell apart that I was in a test class. I could not make the alternative class fit in my schedule and they have been very slow to give me a refund. Not a super professional operation. It might have been good under better circumstances but I would not recommend it.

The Nest is a wonderful addition to the improv community of Columbus. The new spot on Broad St is comfortable, clean and fun. I have personally taken the improv program that is offered through level 4 and it was so much fun! I learned a ton. There are a lot of quality and super funny shows. They just acquired their liquor license this month. The beer and wine prices are very reasonable. If you havent been here yet, I highly recommend that you do!

Went on 7/8 for a sportz improv face off. I had no idea what to expect but found myself laughing the entire time. Essentially had guided skits that a red team or the blue team would try to out perform one another. Event area has a new space that is still under renovation(but still currently comfortable). Was told they are working on getting licensure for the bar within the next month. Snacks are also available for purchase. Give it a try everyone!

My home! Absolute joy in this venue and school. ♡ See Storyteller crush on Fridays, and definitely catch HERE the Musical when in town most Saturday nights! The only dedicated space in Columbus for improvisation (and sketch comedy, live lit, and experimental theatre) has 5 shows running now (Storyteller, the Jam, HERE the Musical, Cagematch, Sunday Comics) & will have 5+ additional shows in 2017 (ComedySportz Columbus (all ages show), Dual Duel, The Improvised Musical, a sketch revue, indie teams, and two projects TBA)! Training center is 4-5 levels taught by world-renowned teachers, and electives happen year round. Already featured on NPRs All Things Considered, 614 Magazine, Columbus Underground, Columbus Alive, Experience Columbus, and the Dispatch in the new year... come see what this joy epicenter is all about.
