Definitely a really good time for a reasonable price! Much smaller and intimate venue which also means no 2 item minimum or anything like that. Great talent, a real fun show and a great thing to being your friends or a date to. Would go again!

Very clean chill vibe with excellent comedy the cafe has the best coffee and vegan food in town wonderful art as well

Hilarious show -- cant wait to take out of town visitors or go back! But just as amazing was their customer service. They blew me away. Happy to write this review. EVERYONE should go!!!!

By far the best comedy show Ive been to in the bay area. Intimate setting, HILARIOUS comics that deserve to be seen, and great drinks. My tickets were only 15$. Best Saturday Ive had in a while.

Came to see one of my best friends perform for the asianAF show. Such an awesome place!!! Lots of history of successful comedians has come through here. Great talents!! Love that its a small space and very intimate setting!

Great night out at CTT. The comedians were great, the ambience was unique. Drinking at the end of the night (with the audience and the comedians) was a fun way to cap it off. Definitely worth the $15 tickets, worth a trip! Great for date night.

Very fun evening! The comics were great (3 women and 2 men), and it was fun to mingle with them after the show! We will definitely be back for more laughs!

Chill environment, good for a first date, and very fun/interesting.UCBLA is a fun experience for anyone. I saw Ben Schwartzs/Mike hanford here with my cousins, and it was to die for!

Just went out here for a date night while we were in the city. The comics were funny, the drinks were not badly proceed, and overall the night was great! From someone who doesnt go to comedy shows often, I spent the whole show laughing.

This was a great show! We really loved the cosy atmosphere of the theater. Highly recommended

Amazing comedy showNice little bar with a small little theaterGreat comic assemble with good jokes

Amazing! Amazing! The improvised musical exceeded my expectations about what a musical and improve could be. I still cant believed that whole play was improvised it had better quality than a lot of shows written today.They also have a decently priced bar, so I would suggest you come early and get a beer or two, so you can get a good seat becauee the front row seats have no backrest and it was a little bit uncomfortable.

Just understood that I watched the improvisation! It’s hard to believe))))) Amazing show, talented actors, would go there with pleasure again! The piano live music during the show was very beautiful.

Such a great improv company. Really talented individuals and awesome promotions like first come first serve free shows. Cozy seating lets you be that much closer to the stage.

Laughed a bunch! Everyone we spoke to was polite and helpful. As a bonus, the food and drinks at the cafe all looked reasonably priced (unlike the rest of LA).

Such a fun show at a great price. Higher quality improv than I’ve seen elsewhere, it was never awkward or overly repetitive. I would love to go again!

Went to see a show called Sorry Mom. It was delightful. The prices of shows here are so good. Plan to come back all the time to see some of the best talent in the city.

Love this small theater, not a bad seat in the house. Get your Tix in advance because it looks like it sells out easily. And, with no assigned seats you want to arrive early to get in line - it will help ensure you get seats together. Oh and theres an awesome ice cream shop next door which makes waiting in line tasty.

Quality talent. Loved the Sentimental Lady troupe. They were so quick, hilarious, genuinely creative, and did not rely at all on shock value for a cheap laugh (i.e. crude sexual humor). They were real pros, and I highly recommend.

I had an incredible time here. Tickets were inexpensive, and the show was hilarious. The venue is on the small side, but seats were comfortable. We went to the Good Looks show on Wednesday. I would go again in a heartbeat. Just make sure to get there early if you want a seat!

Obviously Upright Citizens Brigade is an institution and a pilgrimage site for improvisers across the country, but that aside, its just an extremely fun stop no matter what your interests are. I highly recommend the FREE Sunday night Assscat show, which as I said, is FREE if you get in line early enough (I got there one hour ahead of time and got in), and is legendary.

Went to a UCB show for the 101 class (beginners) it was good, very funny. I can only imagine how amazing it must be to watch the advanced students.

Great shows everyday and super cheap entertainment and actors get to showcase their talent!

We checked out the 7pm Sunday show and got there at 5pm just to be sure wed get a good spot in line. We got the 5th spot. They let us in at about 6:50pm and its open seating. We chose the first row of seats with a back as we didnt want to sit in the 1st row that has no back support. The show was funny, entertaining and very clever and witty. Definitely a very enjoyable experience with some really talented individuals you could tell love what they do.

Simple theater space, good improv space. intimate, pretty well organized.

Terrible! Absolutely nonsensical, yet somehow not funny at all. Maybe other nights are better. Friday at 7pm was very disappointing.

Great date or friends place. Very cheap. The line moves quickly and generally really funny.

Extraordinary performer Heather Anne Campbell (see author of review) delights in a bi-weekly show called Heather & Company every other Monday at 11pm. You won’t want to miss the comedian Time magazine actually called “famous.”

Low-key and iconic LA comedy spot. Great spot showcasing talent in a supportive and relaxed environment. Great community support.

Cool place. Parking was cheap and easy. Tickets were a bit pricey for such a short show, but not bad for the area in general. No drinks or anything, so dont come thinking its that type of comedy club. Show was great!

Fun, innovative, authentic, side-splitting comedy acts presenting on stage every time!! The UCB students must learn so much!!!Very happy on all Levels

My daughter and her friend were thrilled to see Zach Woods in person

Fabulously funny show sentimental lady. Simply clever. And had you in the edge of your seat. Fast paced comedy, hilarious quick wit. The vegan ice cream shop next door is delicious just make sure you finish it before entering the theatre. Get there early to avoid the long line.

Great local comedy and improv. There are shows here 6 nights a week, for just about anyones taste.

So funny. We were lucky to go on a night when I was all women. It was amazing.

Watch FACEBOOK. It’s hilarious and you will enjoy it.

There are two locations but my fave is on Franklin. A gem of comedy & improv in the heart of Hollywood.

First time at the Sunset theatre, although weve been going to Franklin for over 10 years. Loved the Inner Sanctum- the couches were super comfy & it was a cozy space. Cafe was spacious & delicious!

I attended a sketched and improv Comedy Show called Black Twitter. It was my first time attending. I absolutely LOVED the show. They had groups with diverse backgrounds and it was FUNNY. The ONLY complaint I have is that it didnt start on time, but it was worth the wait. I laughed so hard. The atmosphere of everyone was happy and unified. People were there to laugh, support, and show their appreciation for the actors in the show. The show is free and they sell T- shirts to help support their passion. I will definitely go again. Theres also a coffee shop inside that sell juices and vegan as well as gluten free pastries.

Long way to go, if you dont live close to downtown LA, to watch a bunch of theater geeks do ok-to-fairly-good improv. (The night I went, those players who got the most applause at their intros for being semi-well-known in tv or YouTube were the least entertaining live.) If theyd adjust their home page with photos of the real who is that? players--rather than Amy Poehler and others who have gone on to comedy fame--one could make a more informed choice. You will most likely NOT see anyone famous, if thats your goal.Venue is teeny. Like shop in a row of old shops teeny. (Theater people ... smh.) Good location near a couple of al fresco bar/dining options at which to drown your sorrows afterward.They have a couple of audience rows on the postage-stamp stage; can be uncomfortable for introverts if told to sit there.Meh. You need to reeeeeaaaaally love improv.

I love this venue! Lots of places to go before a show and usually cheap tickets for amazing comedy.

Small place but like some of the plays perfect place

Cool huge space with plenty of seating. A good place to check out improv and sketch in LA

A taste of SNL on a week night! Lots of laughs, great up-and-coming talent, all for $7! Put this on your to-do list, you wont regret it!

Great shows, cheap tickets, love the Inner Sanctum coffee shop and performance space. Parking sucks but they do have $5 valet.

+fun was had, without any -fun. Good times!

We go on Sundays for Asscat. Always a great show.

The improv was hilariously good and a fun time all around!

Nice intimate theatre, comfortable seats and good lighting. We saw the Asian AF show that was pretty good.

Excellent and intimate venue for improv comedy fans. The small theater really helps pull you into the performance.

Nice talent! Nice atmosphere! I am very happy in this place!

Nothing beats quality live comedy. always a great laugh. way cheaper than a movie ticket! spend your evening here instead

Loved it, if you love improv you gotta go check out a show

Witness talent in the making. The show was free and valet parking was only $8. 10 out of 10 would return.

Funnier than s*** improv shows for only $7 staff and performers chill and down to earth. Highly recommend!

Great show seen last nite.. hope they consider adding more seats rather than having people buy tickets and seat on the floors or stairways.Luckily we were there in time to grab a seating.

Improv can be enjoyable, and there were plenty of entertaining moments. As is the nature of such things, there are of course a few duds here and there, but its well worth the price of admission overall, which is more than you can say about a lot of things.

UCB is always great. Small venue, so get there early to avoid stage side seating.

The last time I was at this venue I was quite impressed with the organization of the staff and I really enjoyed the intimacy of the show including the great lineup in talent. I was there to see one of my favorites Alonzo Bodden. One thing thats very important about establishments is great customer service aside from the entertainment itself I always will get high marks for that.

Best interactive improv ever! #Resistance

OK. Suddenly Stand-Up needs a home on this stage. They BY FAR had the best line up, the best mood, and the best set up Ive ever experienced.Ive seen improv here, and Ive seen both improv and stand up elsewhere. This show, hands down, is the best stand-up showcase Ive ever seen.

For the money this is the best entertainment value in any city in America. It’s the possibility and what if and anything could happen that makes live entertainment great. Where else are you getting that more than here? Its art, it’s hope, it’s chaos, it’s genius. It’s like everything burning man is trying to be at 1300 dollars a week for ten bucks an hour

Awesome place to learn and practice improv

The newer building is much better, valét parking available, but pricey.

DO NOT USE THEIR VALET! IF YOU LOVE RUDE ATTENDENTS THEN DO IT. OH AND SCRATCHES ON YOUR CAR. OH AND HEADS UP....THEY DONT TELL YOU AND ISNT POSTED ANYWHERE BUT THEY ACCEPT CASH ONLY. SO BE PREPARED TO WALK TO AN ATM.

Every one should take an impov class. Just take the damn class. Are you taking one? Your in one right now? Good. Call me back later.

Great spot near great restaurants and ice cream. Small and intimate theater to see some potential magic improv.

The artists at the 5:30 show were amazing!! Wow, So talented!! What a treat!!

This is a great place to see comedy in La for less than 15 dollars. From the talent that has come through UCB over the years, you can not feel leave without feeling the ghosts of comedy past. I have seen shows at Groundlings and UCB in the past month and you can tell the different styles of improv. I prefer the approach of UCB as its more game like compared to Groundings. Go see a show at UCB if you have a chance because you never now if an alumni member pops his/her head in to jump on stage.

We went to LA on vacation and one of the major things I wanted to do was see as many improv shows as possible. We saw a total of 3 shows at UCB and we had a great time. I guess the ticketing system is the one thing to be aware of because seats are based on when you’re in line, but that’s a small thing compared to the excellent quality of entertainment at such a low cost. It was great to see comedians that I’ve been listening to on podcasts for years. I’d wholeheartedly recommend going if you’re in the area.

Wonderful comedy, wonderful staff, and a really intimate venue. I really dont know what else to say other than Ive had some of my best times here

This is a great place. Nice seating and very well ran. Great comedy and improv shows. Theres also a cafe here where they sell shirts, hoodies, tank tops CDs, DVDs, coffee, tea, boba, sandwiches, pastries and more. Plenty of seating. WiFi available. And, yes, there are restrooms. Its a very nice campus.

The teams did a great job! I laughed quite a bit. An hour of entertainment for only $5. They have valet parking, bit you can find a spot in the neighborhood for free.

Wonderful little place. We went to see an improv show and this is a cool thing to try for a small price. Laughs are guaranteed.

Great place to go get a laugh and meet new ppl

Went for the FYC and it was amazing! Great, intimate space! Loved it!

Do not go to LA without at least one night at the UCB.

Went here for a Kwanzaa improv Rap Battle. It’s a safe place, plenty of friendly, diverse people very affordable as well. Had such a great time. Thank you!

Very amateurish at best. Girl driving the uber was almost funny.

Highly recommend checking out the Tuesday comedy musical night. I laughed throughout the entire show! Such a fun night, the comedians were awesome and the music was perfect! If you havent been here you should definitely go!

I love going to Harold Nights, Fridays in particular. Some of the funniest people Ive ever seen have been on this stage. The routines are fast paced and a lot of fun to watch unfold before your eyes. Every routine is different. All they need to get started is one word.

Really different. You have to get here very early, at least a half hour before the show. Cash only. Scripted, monologue comedians are so common. This is real improv. No liquor. Only sodas for sale. Unlike comedy clubs, there is no service during the show. No good parking. Maybe valet, but just find a place on the street...

UCB is always fun. Its fun to see a show, its fun to take classes and perform. If you find yourself wondering what to do on a given night, uber over because parking sucks. Support live comedy.

Great date night! Cheaper entertainment with lots of laughs. I like the intimate and casual feel of it.

What an awesome theatre! Ive been coming here for quite some time now and thought its finally time to give it the 5 star review it deserves! You can basically come here any night, to any random show and wont be disappointed! Such a great collection of performers thatll entertain you in the funniest, most creative improv comedy youll ever see!

Great show at a great price!

If I lived in LA, I would go to a show here once a week. Tickets to must shows are right around $10. There is a show for just about every type of person. I went to Guilty Pleasures and loved it. Get your tickets a couple days in advance because they might sell out. Valet parking is $7. Get there early to stand in line if you want a great seat in the room, but honestly its so small there isnt a bad seat there.

If you like comedy, stand-up, improv, or original shows - UCB is the place for you! There is something going on every night of the week. Shows are very inexpensive and if you are a UCB student, some of them are free. Classes are held at UCB Sunset but you can get into shows at either Sunset or Franklin.

This theater is so fun! I have always had a good time here. The shows are cheap and it’s fun to go with friends.Always make sure to show up 30 mins prior to save a seat with your friends if you show up too late you might have to stand (it’s a very small theater).I also think this venue is more fun than the UCB sunset location because it’s a little more intimate.

Cheap and good late night fun with friends

Low-key place and really funny stuff! Highly recommend for a good laugh

We had a blast at Asssscat! We waited for 2 hours outside in line to make sure we got good seats but it was such a beautiful day it didnt matter :)

Ive seen shows and taken courses! So much fun!

Such a weird design for a place thats supposed to foster creativity and comedy. If it didnt say comedy theater you would think you were going to a sterile hospital. There are better venues around for seeing a show.

It’s a bit small but the tickets aren’t so expensive and the shows are good

Funnier in other cities. There is much better entertainment in LA that doesn’t depend on clinically depressed cynics (of which Los Angeles has very sparingly compared to competing places).

Great little theater with lots of shows for a good time.

Came for the ASSSCAT performance and it was amazing. I highly recommend going early. We showed up 25 mins early and still ended up having to split my party throughout the venue (which probably only seats about 120 people). The venue makes the experience intimate and more fun. Its amazing how talented these comedians are at improv! Got to see stars from a variety of shows such as the office, love on Netflix and broad city. It was hard to get tickets but if I can come again I definitely would!

Amazing space which also offers classes and has a built in Cafe.Parking is on site (5 bucks) and the staff are friendly and well informed on the theater and its surroundings.

Went to see Put Your Hands Together hosted by Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher which was hilarious. Venue was packed and everyone had a great time, definitely recommend catching a show there if you can. Staff was pleasant, seats were packed in but comfortable, and the sound was great. Also plenty of places to eat nearby before the show which we took advantage of.
