I've been here several times now, and they deliver every time. I love their stand-up and the improv is what I show up for!

Tons of fun and genuinely the funniest improv I've seen! Mocumentary Now performs every 3rd Thursday of the month and they're hilarious! We got there at 7 and nobody was there so we got good seats for the next show. Only downside is that they will ask you to leave in-between shows to clean but nobody does. The ones that do end up losing their seats to someone else. I would highly recommend going here if you are looking for something to do.

We were in town for two nights and after coming here on the second, we had to come again on the third. A lot of cities have improv theaters now with a lot of talent but this one is particularly strong. Great bar and staff, too. Recommended!

Went for their Wednesday open mic just to enjoy some free comedy! There are great comics (ones in town for big shows will often come grace the stage). The drinks are superb! You should go ❤️

Out of towners - came for Last Laugh Standing, stayed for Mockumentary Now and The Duel. Drinks are so reasonably priced and Marcus is a fantastic bartender -you must try the PBJ! Can’t beat the price. Our favorite of the night was Mockumentary Now

Saw the Basement Doctors at RISE-- they were phenomenal! A ton of laughs and a cool format for the show. Honestly, it was a much better show than when I saw Colin Mockery live. Was very impressed!

RISE Comedy facilitated a workshop for our annual in-person company retreat in June 2023. We're a group of 100 fully-remote software engineers, so needless to say this was a big risk for a group of folks who have only met via zoom. Well, it went great. Steve and his crew were professional, friendly, down-to-earth, and the workshop truly brought our group closer together. We were chanting "crystal cup" throughout the day 🙂 Thanks RISE Comedy, you're doing important work!

Christie Buchele is such an amazing teacher for standup. She's fun, caring, encouraging, reassuring, upbeat, and authentic. She's also hilarious and has a ton of great ideas. Thank you so much, Christie!

I recently decided I wanted to get on stage again in some capacity, and decided to give Stand Up a try. Christie Buchele's class not only helped me figure out the nuts and bolts of telling a joke, but also gave me great insight on how to present myself on stage and create a comedy set that was true to me. She's a wealth of knowledge, will give you great commentary on your writing, and is really funny. TAKE THIS CLASS!
