So much fun. Great group

Amazing shows, classes, and workshops. If you want to acquire, develop or polish skills for both your personal and professional life, this is it. The SBI Theater is a safe, cozy, and supportive environment to do so. Classes and workshops are truly amazing and eye opening (super fun as well, improv is a great way to manage stress and promote creativity). The shows are great fun; some are welcoming and allow participation; the environment is extremely supportive and welcoming.

The first two words I would use to describe Sam Haldiman and Second Beat Improv would be supportive and welcoming. Not only is Sam an amazing improviser, he is a kind, encouraging instructor, who sincerely wants people to have fun, learn, and be part of a great little community. Second Beat provides great entertainment on the weekends, along with ongoing classes from Level One to a Master Class with (also amazing) Shane Shannon. No matter what my mood may be before a class or show, I always feel better afterward. Laughter and a strong sense of community truly do make good medicine.

This place is one of Phoenixs best kept secrets! Im spoiling it, and you, dear reader. Come see some entertainment that will help you feel alive with laughter and joy :)

Been here about a dozen times. Really fun group of people that are a ton of fun. Awesome laughs every time. Shows are usually an hour. Great location near some breweries and restaurants as well.

Second Beat is probably the best improv theater in the valley!

Sam runs a very warm and safe space. As a newcomer to his classes, I was terrified of all things improv, but within ten minues of the first class, I was having fun, feeling relaxed, and the confidence building exercises have fully bled out into my real life, and I find myself feeling far less social anxiety and awkwardness. Its also important to mention that the professional shows are a total blast to attend and watch, and while you are a student, you get into all of them for free! I give this company my absolute strongest recommendation possible!

Second Beat is a gem!Its a small, intimate theater space with weekly longform improv shows and a curriculum of classes. Their weekly shows are highly recommended. You can also stick around afterwards for the twice-a-month jam shows that are open to anyone to play in. Theyre a fun, accepting, and supportive atmosphere, and also a way for new players to chat and get to know each other.Sam, the owner of Second Beat, is an outstanding teacher of both beginners and experienced players. For those new to improv and wanting to give it a try, Sam is a caring instructor, who really makes the classes comfortable for everyone.

This is a great community of really funny improv comedy lovers. In addition, Sam has some very affordable improv classes that he teaches as well. If you were ever curious to try improv or see it in action this is the place to go to not only learn but have a blast laughing with the talented community of improv that performs at the Second Beat Improv Theater.

Second Beat is a force in the live theater scene in Phoenix. It features a mix of performances from some of the best local long form improv teams to the ocassaional sketch and stand up shows. It’s like the NYC/Chic/LA underground comedy experience in our own lil’ valley of the sun.

Fun show. smaller than I expected though.

Great show tonight by an extremely talented improv team.

A great start up improv theater that brings in a wide range of talented local troupes. Its cozy on the inside, but the space makes it work and creates an intimate closeness to the show without being in top of the stage. Fun times to be had!

Seriously good long form improv. Sold out shows almost every night!

It was so much fun! I laughed myself silly.

Great little theater that offers shows every Friday and Saturday. They also offer classes that teach improvisational theater

Great fun. Small theater doing improvised comedy.

Taking classes, and have performed there. Up and coming space.

Very funny! Great clean fun!

Fun venue

Wonderful night of laughs!

Fun, local, affordable
