The Groundlings Theatre & School, Los Angeles CA

From training center to main stage this school is good. After attending Basic- Advanced improv classes here I can say they know character and knowing their style can have a hugely positive impact on how you perform. If you are an actor, stand-up, improviser or sketch writer I highly recommend the groundlings over cash cow schools like the second city.

I had a great time on 11/22/2. Wayne Brady made a special appearance. It was fun from beginning to end. The performers vocals really add to the experience.

Had a great time tonight for the crazy uncle Joe show! I can't emphasize enough how mesmerizing every performer is. Will definitely be back for more!

Came here for the Sunday show! So many talented folks and great sketches. We had a wonderful time.

The Crazy Uncle Joe show was fantastic! We laughed the entire time - all the he cast members & guests were hilarious. It's clear how well they know each other & can play off each other - they made it look easy -but improv is not. Great job Groundlings! Great show.

Great show. Went for the early show on Los Angeles eve. Shout-out to the host who gave some welcome airtime to single mom hood and provided grist and seamless segueing. Go. Not only will you not be disappointed, you will have a great time.

It took me about 30 minutes to recover and feel my face again from laughing. Fantastic show, great little bar, no minimum but the drinks were very healthy pours. Afterward, the comedians came out and had drinks with us.

Grab tickets and check them out!

This was definitely one of my highlights from LA! The show was very funny, allowed the audience to interact and pitch in suggestions & tickets were reasonably priced!

Super funny! If you’re out seeing comedy clubs, go to this one last! The rest of your nights won’t be a disappointment.

If you are planning on your making your evening plans around coming to a show at this theater, this is a cautionary story. My BF and I are from out of town and had 2 evenings in LA and decided to spend one of of those evenings seeing the 8pm show at the Groundlings on 10/11. We were beyond disappointed with how the evening turned out.

Because of the traffic in LA we arrived with only 20mins before the show and had not had dinner. We decide to grab a quick bite at a place across the street because the theater only had chips and candy bars for food. As 8pm approached my BF went to the theater to grab us seats. I was only 10 mins behind him, I arrived at the threater at 8: 05pm for the 8pm show to locked doors. Staff refused to allow me to go inside even though my BF had an aisle seat saved for me inside the theater. Can I get a refund since I won't be able to see the show and you insist that every seat in the theater was filled? No. Can I go in between scenes when they black out the theater? No. Mind you my boyfriend was inside with a seat for me, and it was only 5 minutes pass the 8pm ticket time. There was absolutely no language on the ticket or in the online ticket confirmation email that said we would be completely shutout if we were only 5 minutes late. I insisted that my BF stayed inside since we had paid for the show and had driven through 50mins of traffic to get there. I ended up joined him at intermission. In the end, it was difficult to enjoy the show because of how things played out. I felt bitter, and franky rather embarrassed that I was left standing outside.

There was no language on the ticket or in their email that warned us about this policy, so you can decide for yourself if it's worth the risk of running 5 mins late with the way traffic is in LA. For us, how the staff handled the situation ruined our evening, and we felt like it was a wasted our time and money.

Me and my friend John come together for show and the manager Sam was really rode and disrespect us we really don’t want come back any show of this groundling

I was at the line when I asked one of the worker of the groundling he said just wait to line why you asking a lot. I really didn’t like the answer of that worker of groundling then I get in the show I ask one of the guy what is the name of that person he told me he is the manager of the groundling his name is Sam I really do not like him he was the manager it was really shame for him having such as bad manager

I really disappointed because the manager Sam was really rode with me I will never come and I will never recommend my friends to come at show no more

Incredible place for a comedy show. The drinks are good, the comedy is good, and tickets are cheap. Good for a large group, a fun date, or a solo night out.

Probably second only to The Second City in terms of being able to churn out great comedic/improv actors. Everyone should see at least one show here.

Some of the best true improv in LA.an institution for decades and one of the best deals in town.
