The Basement Theatre Reviews

Service was horrible, staff smelled and looked confused, parking was bad,all the glass looked like it needed to be washed, but you can buy just about anything round the back alley

Fun, interactive improv theater. Very inclusive of the audience. Went for a work event. Very funny.

Friendly staff. Great place to bring friends. They are super funny and interactive.

Awesome! Been there a few tines. These guys are hilarious and very focused on customer service. Did my daughter's 9th birthday with her friends. They loved it!

Great show and lots of fun. You need to let loose sometimes

Went to the Family Improv with our clan. Could not recommend it more. Everyone from our 3 year old to our 11 year old was in tears (including the parents). Great family night experience.

Ok. It's a tiny basement theatre. There's an entrance that is a bit scary around d the back.

Don't panic. It's gonna be fine. Enter, take your seat, and leave your expectations at the door. You're in for something different.

There's a lot of comedic bat swinging. A lot. 45% of the time it connects. 15% of the time it connects well. Sit through the exposition and be patient you you will enjoy yourself.

Room was nice. I wish I had booked through the hotel direct to get benefit of Nest Western awards

Fun place! It's a very small, intimate venue with minimal seating, but that allows the place a unique aesthetic. The actors and bartenders are very kind, and it was overall a pleasant experience.

This place is off the chain! So funny! Can't wait to go back!

A quaint comedy/improv spot that give quality entertainment with minimal cost. A great spot to go when you wanna do something different on a Thursday night. Definitely will go again

Great place to go have a laugh... Took my wife on a Saturday night and we laughed and laughed and laughed! Drinks were simple but good and affordable. Definitely plan to go back soon!

Really fun atmosphere. The comedians are energetic and hilarious. The drinks are good and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys comedy.

One of the best nights I've had in some time these guys are hilarious

Loved the improv show here on Saturday night. Very entertaining and the bar/theatre is quaint and very charming

I went to the graduation class last week. Amazing time. Great for a date night. I had some friends in town and they had a blast. J-Star is a great dude

I LOVE IT HERE!!! Its the best place for Improv!! Jstar and Co. are Superstar Improv Comics. I always enjoy my time at the Basement Theatre!!!

Great experience! The improv crew is hilarious. It's impossible to go and not have a good time.

Went to the earlier (pg-rated) show. Meant the team couldn't swear in front of the kids or address the existence of Santa. I wasn't falling in the floor, peeing my pants, but the restrictions the team had to deal with made the show funnier, and pushed the creativity. I'd not be able to think as quickly, and I'd look like a drooling idiot in that jail scene. Will return.

Literally in a basement, the best improv troupe in atlanta makes the most of the often cramped quarters to make a fantastic night. The bar is good too

I performed there 2 years ago and I had a great time. I got a great response from my jokes and the comedians were awesome. Looking for open mic this weekend! Coming to the ATL Friday!

Always fun to go see a show! J Star is a delight, as is the rest of the rotating cast of performers and support personnel!

Second time at The Basement, same great quality entertainment but an entirely different show!

I was here on a Thursday night. They were doing improv. This was the most fun I have had in a long time. The drinks were very affordable and the entertainment was unpredictable. A great way to mix up your typical guys/girls night out. Adults only though, and it gets loud. Definitely worth a look.

After you had been there a time or two... they remember you and even your name. I love the fact that these are shows for most who are in training to be comedians or improv. JStarr kept it flowing and fun throughout the entire show. They have something for everyone from 8 to 88. Highly recommend you giving this small local venue a shot.

We had a great time celebrating my 50th. Everyone is awesome! Thanks!

Good group of jokesters on stage. Lots of fun for the whole family Friday night!

Go to yearly show, and Don't be surprised if you end up staying for another show! Great people... lots of fun!

We had a great time here! We laughed the entire show. They interact with the audience which makes it even funnier. They have a snack and drink bar (including alcohol). We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful staff and I had a great time! The artists coalesced well. Thanks for the nonstop laughter. Will be back soon with friends!!!

We just moved to the area and are quite happy we've found The Basement Theater. We don't care for the raunchy variety of comedy, so it's super nice they offer a more family-friendly option (I surmise their adult show must be quite "adult" given the baseline comparison).
Staff was very kind and upbeat. The venue itself is smaller, but in a way it added to the familial vibe. We had a bit of a hard time finding it, so be sure to not be worried that you are literally walking into a tucked away basement. It'll be worth it!

I have been to three of their shows and loved each one. Anytime I have people come from out of town I recommend this place. They are all hilarious and very nice. The alcohol is cheap but strong so be careful!

By far one of the best improv shows I've seen so far. These improv artists do their job very well. Impressed by everything they offered. Will definitely recommend this place if anyone is into improv.

One of the best places in Atlanta to see an improv comedy show. Small, unique theatre, stadium seating and you are up close and personal to the performers. Not a bad seat in the place. They have g rated up to r rated shows plus they have some great improv classes very reasonably priced. Go see a show, take a beginner improv class or both, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome people who are very dedicated to their craft and the make you feel right at home. Great place for a laugh and entertainment.

Really enjoyable place to go hear some very good comics who work off what the audience says. Very reasonable too. My only complaint would be it is a very tight space and they put as many chairs in there as possible.

Fun environment....I've been twice....and laughed the whole time! They serve drinks and snacks as well.
