Cool place. Went for an arm wrestling charity event. Has a bar upfront for alcohol and regular drinks. When I went it was catered by a company that served yummy tacos. And then it has a room with a stage and some floorspace for everyone else. Bathrooms as well. Small lounge area upfront.

I came here about seven months ago, and although the show was good, it was nothing compared to the one that I watched last week.This was top notch improv, with nothing to envy to well established comedian groups like ASSSSCAT. Very well structured and staged. It was amazing to see them intertwining ideas on the spot, even after a few acts had passed.Funny thing is that they were all pretty much the same performers, which means that their classes are actually turning out really well. I am very happy for them and Ill be definitely going back pretty soon. :)

I am a former student a current performer at Villain Theatre and there is no better place in Miami to develop your talents. If you’re looking to perform and write comedy this is the place to be. The teachers are very encouraging and experienced and the atmosphere is welcoming.

First impression was wow! What a great looking venue! Anastasia puts on awesome comedy shows and I was honored and thrilled to be part of one. Can’t wait to come back to perform here again! One of my favorite venues to date.

The Villain Theater is fast, funny and filed with laughter. Do yourself a favor. Get away from the small screen and enjoy big time fun. This is the perfect venue for dates and good time friends.

Villain Theater was such a great experience. Whether it’s a date night, a night out with the boys, or just going out solo I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself. The guys are great at improv. I’ve gone twice and both times the show was unique. They get the crowd involved as well and when we went they gifted us tickets to a future show for our participation.

Excellent experience! If you are looking for a fun and affordable night this is the place to go. I love that they dont force you to spend money in drinks like other comedy places. It reminded me of old times in colombia with theater. I will definitely go back soon.

One of the scariest and fun experiences of my life! Amazing supportive safe environment for non-comics to breakthrough fears and limitations on being on the stage. I might be doing the advanced training soon!

For those who love improv, and with a little Miami flare, come check out Villian theater! Their variety of games within show times provide structure, while leaving the content completely up to your imagination. I have a great time playing for their improv musical when asked to sub on Saturday nights!

VT is an amazing group of people creating a very unique experience in Miami. I had the pleasure of taking a couple of improv courses at VT and enjoyed every single second of it, they are very welcoming and supporting. No matter what your ultimate goal might be when joining,you’ll feel part of this community, will have a lot of fun and learn a lot... 200% recommended!

This is a great venue for live improv, sketch and stand-up comedy in Miami. They host an amazing set of open mics and stage time for the public as well as marquis shows of locally and nationally known stand-up comedians. Villain Theater is where many comedians go to film their tv specials.

If youre looking for comedy in South Florida, this is the place to go. The performers here are extremely talented and the shows are great. If you love it, and can picture yourself on that stage as well, they offer top notch improv classes. There is also stage time every Tuesday where you can come up and show what you got!! Everyone at this theater is very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

Review №27

Im sorry that my experience was not as good as Ive read. My husband and I arrived around 8:00 for an 8:30 show. The door was locked, there was someone inside moving tables around, when we knocked (we knocked hard) no one came to open (although, when I purchased the tickets, it stated that the doors would be open 1/2 before show time). There was no one even waiting to get in. After double checking to make sure that we were in the right place (cant miss it, sign is as big as day) we waited 15 minutes more (8:15), tried again, and left. Not interested in returning. Good Luck

I love Villain Theater! Not only the venue, but the people. The staff is friendly and warm. They are hard working, small business owners trying to make a difference in one of Miamis culturally diverse neighborhoods. It has been amazing watching them grow from their previous space into their new home. The talent is amazing, and its always a fun night. This reminds me I need to get over and see a show soon in the new space! Go check out Villain Theater!

I cant believe that I live 2 blocks from the Villain theater and never knew about it till I got curious and checked it out with my fiance. The show was hilarious. I was just expecting stand up comedy but then they did a musical too! I like how the stage is very close to the audience and provides an intimate experience. Definitely going more often and inviting more people. Its worth it.

Villain Theater is a gem! A great place to enjoy laughter and joy in a mixed-crowd of locals and tourists alike. its a bit off the beaten path but that only makes it that much cooler and joyous of a discovery. Plenty of free parking, affordable libations and a fun and funny environment. Love this place!

They teach you about poise, action, and humility. They only want you to show what you’re capable of, and it’s always more than enough. I never had such wonderful teachers and I will continue seeing their next prodigy’s in their regular shows. You will not regret going to Villain Theatre. It is a true experience of art.

Came across a comedy program being held here on a Saturday night. Tickets were $15, but you may be able to find a 2 for 1 coupon. This is actually a comedy school that holds performances during the week. It is all improv. Not bad, but got a little boring at the end. Did have a few laugh out loud moments. May try it again when I visit Miami again.

The seasoned performers were hilarious . . . sharp, witty, and on their game. Must be prepared to see young performers that are not as seasoned . . . although I credit their willingness to learn, try and participate.

I am a current student and intern at Villain Theater. Just graduated VT1 to start VT2. The staff/teachers and students have been very welcoming and supportive! It doesnt matter who you are or how old you are or where you come from, they welcome everybody and you never feel out of place or that someone is judging you. You have fun while meeting other adults you learn to play with! If youre thinking about taking an Improv class or even to see a show, Villain is the place be!! Hope to see you soon!

Villain Theater is an AMAZING place! For both performances and classes, I highly recommend visiting Villain. I started coming when I decided to participate in a drop-in class in July 2018, and now Im already on my 4th package of classes! I really appreciate the diversity of activities the theater offers, it goes beyond improv; its really becoming a center for comedy, creativity, and expression in Miami. I love bringing friends from out of town to the theater to show them another side of Miami. Attend a performance, take a class, try something new--you wont regret it!

Review №92

This place open pretty recently and I really like it. I signed up for improv class for a 9-week course prices are put on their website. So far week 3 its been great the people there are very nice the instructor is knowledgeable and very down-to-earth and they are expanding the building as time goes by as they will be doing more a video production and photo shoots at their location. Very cool group of young professionals trying to make something happen in Little Haiti. the street they are on actually feels pretty comfortable and safe especially during the day night time not so much. It seems like the CRA is coming in and making things a bit nicer. They have shows throughout the week again check the website. And the front lobby there is a bar serving various adult beverages. The atmosphere is very nice and the AC is ice cold. Definitely worth checking his place out even if just for a night.
