I love this club, we do shows here all the time, it’s a great neighborhood and a ton of great air bnbs close by, not to mention a brewery, and great restaurants-

This place was a ton of fun! We will definitely be back!

Had a great night here. Saw two shows, the Showdown and the later Showdown and Dirty! If ya plan on hanging out for the later one, strap-on your smiles (no pun intended) and leave your judgement at the door; ready yourself for a blast with complete strangers at both shows. Really enjoyed the whole night and the option to attend the later show for free. Thank you Curious Comedy!

This non profit comedy club offers a variety of entertainment. From stand up to improv as well as magic shows. Both family friendly and more mature options can be found here. They also have a nice food and beverage menu available so you can eat while you enjoy the performance. Reasonably priced ticketsCheck em out for a fun time!

This was an amazing experience! Me and my boyfriend were in Portland for the weekend and wanted to try something new that would be posts of fun. So else ended up going to this comedy club that was a little pricey. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY. It ended up being like a who’s line is it anyway competition and I couldn’t stop laughing. I would definitely recommend this for when ever your in Portland!

We saw in the paper or a mention on Facebook that they were doing a new idea. In 24 hours they would get an idea, give it to 4 writers, directors, cast the actors, rehearse and present 4 plays at the end of the 24 hours. NO SLEEP! We had attended other events at the Comedy Club before so we said lets get tickets! At only$10 why not? Reservations are always a good idea as they are often sold out. They do take credit cards and have tickets on call.We had a great time!! Front row seats. The plays were very different. Funny. Good music and lighting, too. They have extended the stage from when we were there before. The seating is small tables with chairs for 2,4, or 6 depending how they are arranged. You order at the bar, get your drinks, and take a number back to your table and they bring your food out to you. They have a full bar. Food includes bowls, salads, pizzas, bar snacks and desserts. WC accessible. Easy to spot from normal traffic. No parking lot. Street parking is free at night after 7pm.

I absolutely love going to Showdown. It is always such a great time. The room is wonderful and there is so much talent in each production. Going to Curious Comedy is probably my favorite thing to do in Portland.

Its a really cool little venue. Nice stage and excellent comedians. Would definitely recommend the Dope Show in particular as solid entertainment!

Terrific time tonight with a big group of coworkers! It was a full house but the staff kept up to speed. The actors were on point and did an amazing job. So funny.

Great venue. However, Food was average and no table service. You had to order at the bar. Which was slow service. They cleared our plate and drink while I was in the bathroom which still had half a plate of food and the drink was half a glass.. They closed out our tab giving themselves a higher tip then deserved.

This is one of the best comedy venues around. The improv comedy had me busting out my sides.

This was such a good night. I havent seen an improv show in ages and forgot how great they are. Great acting and good (somewhat) clean fun.

First time to this venue. Its a decent place. It took forever to get some food we ordered but the food was good. Better than I would have expected at a comedy club

This was our first BUT not last visit. We went for a comedy showdown and it was hilarious!! I love that this is a non profit and anyone can participate or take classes to learn how to become a stand up comedian. The decor is really nice, I love the chandeliers and large paintings of famous comedians.

Wonderful place with small experience thats fun for all and after 930 adults for sure. I recommend

A very anything goes comedy club so much fun! And the food &drinks were fabulous I will defenetly be a returning patron

We love comedy shows and this is a hidden gem. You can walk in on a random night and get tickets cheap to a funny show. The room has a great set up for a comedy show. The marketing team is not promoting thus nearly enough once this place picks up some steam youll see some major headliners start to come in and thats what the need.

A place for talent to show skill. Enjoyable time

Out of all the comedy clubs in PDX, this is my least favorite because the entertainment leans towards performance and I prefer writing talent.That beings said: I did appreciate the quality bar and layout. They typically pack chairs to the fire marshal limit which I am not a fan of. The service was poignant and similar to the comedy store in Los Angeles. There is food available that looked decent as it was carried in front of us.Summary: if theatre comedy hits your funny bone, try this place out.

We had a lot of fun. The folks were funny and the food and drinks were good.

Awesome people! Always welcoming! Always puts on amazing comedy shows! I love going here!

Great place! Great bartender! Great food! Great people! Most of all great comedy! Had a blast on vacation checking out their improv! Must see when in Portland!

Went to a 7:30 show called the Comedy Showdown on a Friday night and it was definitely a blast. The improv was similar to what you would have watched on Whose Line Is It Anyways!This is the kind of place you want to go to if you want to laugh, and keep laughing until youre wheezing for air. I felt like I was almost dying (from full on belly laughter) because of how funny and witty the improvisers were. They all really shined in the skit portion of the night.I would definitely recommend going here.

Went to the theater for an I, anonymous show. It was very funny. The place was packed. Beers were very reasonable and the popcorn was good. Tickets cheap too.

Fun intimate theater. There is not a bad seat in the house! Front row is the best, the performers could sit in your lap!

Very nice show venue! Was there for Vanitys Vaudville Vixens, a burlesque show. Very well curated, entertaining and fun acts! I plan on going to their show in November.

Fun night with three comedic magicians. Love the intimate atmosphere

Curious offers a variety of shows and classes. Most of the shows I have attended have been comedy focused, whether improv, story telling, stand up or some combination of all of the above.The venue is intimate so even the balcony seats keep you close to the action.The bartenders are quick to get everyone through during an intermission. Food is ordered at the bar and served to your table. The offerings are simple but tasty!Great place for your next date night!

This was a fun place to relax with friends and family and watch an inter-active improv show. The actors were funny, sweet, charming and very entertaining. The only reasons I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because if you want something to eat or drink, you have to order it yourself prior to the show or at intermission only as they do not have wait staff and its also hard to give suggestions when they ask for them as they usually take the first suggestion the can hear. Nice evening overall. Was only $12 pp (you can make reservations online too if you want) and I would recommend it for all 18+ people for a fun night out.

Intimate setting, food And drink offerings. Vaiety of performances.

Great fun on a Friday night! We went to the first show and ended up staying for the second show, a comedy duel, because we had so much fun.

I was feeling pretty down but the comedy here had me laughing and feeling better in a matter of minutes! Thank you

A Night of Curiosities is an amazing magic show! Can’t wait for the next one!

This place was fantastic. The improve was so funny my cheeks were sore. There was a good crowd and the MC got everyone involved.The seating left a bit to be desired and the table attachment made it hard to get at my drink.

Super great space, staff and ofcourse talent!

This place is always so much fun! We go a couple times a month

Cool setup. Their beers SUCK! Also, they sometimes have comedians who do the same skit EVERY time. I knew every punch line for Corina (transgender), that doesnt make someone a comedian for memorising an a entire skit and using it at almost every show. But the others are always great!!!!! Admission is sometimes really good priced too.

Amazing improv, wonderful stand up, and outstanding staff. Definitely a great night out!

Great improv show and free invite to late show after

I went for the first time last night and it was great! Yes, you order your own food (its delivered to your table when ready). I think this is a good way to keep costs down and I never stood in line long. The cast was very funny--they improvised off of prompts from the audience and offered a variety of different improv games. There was live music (and live song improvs on the spot), and I was impressed with their skills. Arrive a little early and get a great seat! We will definitely go back.

The comedians were hella korny.

I LOVE Curious Comedy Theater. I have been many times for different shows. My favorite is Comedy Showdown on Friday and Saturday nights. Show up a little early to get a good spot and get a food order in before it starts! And dont be shy to throw out suggestions! Its also a great value if you want to stay a while because they always offer for the Showdown guests to stay for the later show for free! I would also recommend purchasing ahead of time online because you save $5! Its always been funny and Ive only had one or two cringy jokes that I can think of. Curious Comedy Theater makes for a very fun evening!

Great shows, good food and drink, fun atmosphere. Also, it is very reasonably priced. All Jane festival had me laughing nonstop!!

We went to the family friendly show that happens on the first Sunday of each month. We had so much fun and our 8 year old laughed so hard. Every one in the place was laughing themselves crazy.

Good space for comedy. Bar was close to the seating, free water. Two single use, any gender bathroom means lines form quickly.

They have the SAME SHOWS EVERY time. I’m sorry, it’s ok if you just go ONCE...but if you go multiple times a month, you start to realize that the people up on the stage are playing the same nine or ten games they’ve been playing FOREVER.I don’t know, I guess it just rubs me the wrong way when they do another funny bit from the plethora of games they SAY exist out there.I am not going back there. UNLESS they decide to change there outlook and improve there set list.

No ushers, even though it was an album taping there was a guy in the front row texting, and someones phone rang right in the middle of it. This is not the behavior you expect from an audience at a comedy club.

Sunday Funday is a hot with the kids and I. Best for ages 5 and up. It is exciting to my kids come out of their shell and awesome to laugh together. Curious Comedy crew and staff are thoughtful and inclusive.

Fun! These people do improv right!

Guy at the bottom of the stairs who wouldnt move was a jerk. Not worth vip

Nice location. As it is largely novice improv the comedy can be more unintentional than one might hope but it still makes for a nice evening out.

Something new every night - literally. Its famous for improv but many local acts use it for new shows, and the All Jane Comedy Festival is amazing.

Inexpensive admission with no drink minimum. Solid troupe of improv actors. I had a great time.

Amazing acting, decent comfort food. Certain nights have opportunity for audience participation.

Nice venue, but especially great because they host Revolutionary Comedy. Great stuff!

Went to see an improv show with the Filbert, The Squirts and Monroe and Moyer. Everything was absolutely hilarious! I would definitely go back!

The dope show was great!

Looked nice from the outside. :)

I came to see J Names do improv, they were FANTASTIC!For the place itself, nice small place where every seat is a good seat, they even have a tiny balcony upstairs, all that is great!Downside is the size of their bar/food offerings, they work fast and were great, but it is a very small spot and it takes a lot to get people through. I know for some of the shows they have enough room to wait on people at the tables, but for this show had more chairs and no room for that. As a result, only a few minutes after the doors opened, the line was across the place, we couldnt go back for more drinks or anything because we would have had to wait until the show started. One of the people in our group only got there a few minutes before the show started and decided to just not get a drink because of the line.When you go here, (and you should!) find out if they are waiting the tables, if they are, great, no worries. If they arent, dont come too hungry or thirsty and grab whatever you want as soon as you get inside before the line gets too bad.Ill definitely be back for a lot more shows.

This place was a blast! The comedy troupe was hillarious and the drinks were great! My first I proc show live, and Im glad I came here. This is a wonderful spot for a date!

Comedians and improv is always funny! People and staff great. Food is good. They gotten better at having better selections on alcohol drinks. Cheese and avocado dip with bread was awesome. Went to live taping at Curious Comedy for free and will maybe Ill be famous! Lol

I dont think improv should be called comedy. Spontaneous entertainment. Amusing. But not necessarily funny. I did like the background piano music; it added a nice touch. They ran out of dessert for the last show. Nice, small venue.

The Showdown was hilarious! I totally recommend this place for entertainment, though I wasnt crazy about the food options.

The best place for improv in Portland. Possibly the world.

Had a fun evening on a Satuday night. Very enthusiastic cast. Hard to hear the host. Tasty popcorn!

Improv night was so fresh and I was doubled over laughing at their brilliance and clever comedy!! Definitely recommend checking out the Dynamite PDX show!!

Show was great, theater was nice, but seating was way too tight.

This was my first time. Ever seeing a comedy show. It was really fun. Im glad I went!

In a really bad neighborhood

Went to an improv show and was pretty impressed. There were a lot of laughs because of some talented performers.The venue is is comfortable with a wonderful ambiance. They have a small menu but it is very good and well crafted.I will definitely be back for more shows. It made for a wonderful evening out.

This place is a great location to experience some good improv performances. Theyve also got 4 or so beers, most of which are decent and Good selection of foods to much on during the show like popcorn, Pizza, ect.

Small venue, would be great for intimate shows. Probably sells out quick because of space but quality

Really fun night spent at “Sunday School.” Smart topics and dialogue, progressive and important subject matter served with a tasteful amount of humor. Food was yummy, drinks generous.

Clean. Decent prices. Good acts!

Great place for cheap comedy.

Loved this place!! The improv on Fridays was amazing and the people were hilarious. The food, drinks, and desserts were sooo good. Get the brownie Sunday This place would be perfect for a date or a group of friends. However seating is limited so I’d get there early if you have a big group. The staff were awesome, and the atmosphere was great. I’d definitely come back.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Show was great. Super cheap if you buy tickets in advance.

Was not what I expected. Kinda interesting formatting though

Curious Comedy is an amazing experience. It is my favorite date night outting! The shows range from pretty funny to I cant stop crying laughing. Food and drinks are pretty good, especially their cider. Plus the whole thing is non-profit, so it goes to a good cause! Curious Comedy is one of my favorite Portland treasures.

I liked that they had the table seating. Classy comedy club atmosphere. The improv actors were really good and the show was really well coordinated. They responded very well to what the audience wanted

Had a great first experience here, The improv shows were awesome.

Intimate venue for quirky show

Nice club, good group of comedians.

Love go this place for comedy with sign language intpterper including.

I dont have millions sitting idly around, but if I did, I would give a handsome check to Curious Comedy Theater, a non-profit comedy house that has treated me to many great laughs. Mostly improv from what Ive seen, their shows are clever, unique, and perfect for a fun night out. Unlike a lot of comedy places, they also dont try to up-sell you with expensive drinks and they have a couple really quality beers on tap. Old Town Pizza is right around the corner, and is a perfect compliment for dinner beforehand.

Great place! It has great comedian performers and serves pizza, and other foods and has a full bar. No available parking.

Curious has been an incredible find for me in Portland. After seeing many amazing shows I started volunteering. Coming from Chicago i had a pretty high bar for comedy, Curious met and exceeded my expectations. I love all the amazing performers and am consistently impressed by the quality shows. Foods great too.

Very funny. Will definitely come back

My husband and I were super excited to go as it was our first time at an improv show. The website and host stated audience participation was part of the fun. So thats what my husband did. 15 minutes into the show the serve came up to him and told him if he didnt shut up ... they were going to kick us out. Needless to say I didnt not enjoy the rest of the show. Nothing against the actors it was just they way it was handled.

Came here for Shit-Faced Shakespeare while we were visiting our son and daughter-in-law. Very funny.

Great venue, friendly staff!

Great venue. Get the root beer float. Good shows and great prices.

Great place to kick back for a few hours and gave some laughs! Check out Andrew Barber from Canada on YouTube! He was my favorite improvisation comedian that night! :)

Lots if fun. Will go again.

Enjoyed the show. Great arrangements, great acts

Saw a great show on Sundays open mic. Cant wait to go up myself!Staff was very friendly and energetic, especially the host. Pizza was delicious.

Very fun! I absolutely love the environment here. Hilarious and creative individuals. They also serve snacks and drinks which is very rad.

This place is awesome. I cant recommend it highly enough. An hour and a half of great entertainment for $12 in advance. The Curious Comedy Showdown is something Ill definitely be seeing again soon. We also stayed for the Friday Night Fight afterwards.

The only not-for-profit comedy club in the city. Fun headliners and local comics. Improv classes, too!

Love the comedy and vibe of the place. Great pricing. Just needs some better seating. Totally would have ordered drinks and food had we had a table and a server to ask gor an order.
