    Nice spot situated in Downtown Brea. There are 2 ample parking structures within a block of from the improv. The staff is quick and attentive to getting people inside. We got a VIP booth, and it was worth it. We didn't have to wait in line 90 minutes before the show to get good seats. Showed up 5 minutes prior and our booth was waiting for us. General admission seats are "first come first serve", and they open the doors 60-90 minutes before show start. The food and drinks are from The Copper Blues, the restaurant next door. Got to see Steve-O's Bucket List show, and did not disappoint.

    Yesterday I went to this place for watching improv. It was performed by an Indian comedian named Vir Das. It was an amazing experience being a part of this improv. They have many more comedians lined up for performing and I’m really looking forward to that. The parking is also sorted, you can do valet for $8 or else park at the parking structure for free!!! The food served was good as well and the service was quick! They arranged the tables accordingly to accommodate huge crowds.

    Saw Monet x Change here on June 14th! Definitely will be coming back when more comedians I know come here. It was my first improv show and the venue was amazing! Drinks were really good, strongly recommend the Long Island. But overall great venue.

    The service and comedian were great, the food was not. We both had the Angus sliders. Unfortunately, they were overcooked, dry, and tasteless. Parking was very easy since it's right across the street and it's free.

    The atmosphere was great! The booth were uncomfortable and need to be taken out! The eye level is the same as the less expensive seats. I was kind of disappointed with that. But beside that the show was great! Felipe Esparza is a foo!

    Free structure parking. No valet service. Place is nicer and bigger than the old location. Seating is uncomfortably cramped. We ordered our drinks but took too long to arrive. We finished our food and still our drink didn't come. Pizzas are smaller than personal servings, fries were crispy as requested, and their donut holes were delicious. The lady at the front needs to be quicker and more organized. She was not organized when it came to having people wait for the bar seating and buying of merchandise. We've been to 12 Improvs, and this was the most disorganized location. Love the comedians! Funny and engaging as always.

    Saw AMANDA seales in concert and it was such a great show! We bought VIP tickets and love sitting up front so close to the stage. Our waiter is also awesome

    Love the new location, easily the best comedy spot in all of Orange County. Reasonably priced, as well.

    A lot of parking structures in the area that are free. There's also valet parking. The venue itself is very spacious and any seat is a good seat.

    Saw Melissa Villasenor on a Thursday night with two openers at this venue. There was free garage parking available a couple blocks down. We reserved a table for the four of us which meant that we didn’t have to share space at the long tables closer to the stage. Two item minimum. No video recording or photos allowed. If you prebooked a table and have a credit, note that your waiter will settle that at the end of the evening. I would suggest not ordering everything at once, as we did that because we thought there would be a wait, but everything came out all at the same time (including our chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream). We got the spinach artichoke dip, pretzels, Asian chicken salad, and an entree each. I had the hot chicken sandwich. I would say that the entrees were smaller than expected but the appetizers were bigger than expected, so it all balanced out. We had leftovers at the end. We also got the aforementioned cake in addition to the key lime pie (which was more like a cheesecake than a pie).

    The show was great, but service was slow. We didn't get our waters until half way through the show, then wanted to order a dessert but they didn't come back until last call and by then we weren't interested.

    A great venue to see live standup comedy! I have been here a ton of amazing shows and I can not recommend it enough.

  • 1/5 Robert N. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolute waste of money. The last time I went to the Brea Improv, it was still located at its old location. In that location there was not a bad seat in the house. Last night, 11/18/23, I went to the new location for the first time. Absolutely a waste of time and money. I totally understand seeing a few comedian for the first time is a gamble. However, the seating is horrible. They crammed in the whole back section in seats that could not see the stage or comedian at all. For the money you spent for a ticket, you should be able to at least see the stage. We asked to be put in an area/table so see could see the stage, it would have been an additional $200 dollars…. Buyer beware

    The newer venue is great. It's larger and can seat more people. The guys working the door are very organized and are efficient in getting everyone inside and seated. My only complaints were that the food orderers weren't what we expected. 1. There's a picture of a large pretzel on the menu and what came out worth three small pretzels. 2. The fried pickles were fried up well and crunchy but we're very salty 3. The artichoke dip comes with a lot of dip but not enough chips Tip: If you're going to order more than one drink, ask for all of them at the beginning of your order. I asked for one drink with my food and a second drink later that night but I never got my second drink until the headliner was almost done with his set and the checks were coming out. I had to finish the drink quickly to enjoy it before the show was over.

    It's pretty easy to get to and there is free parking across the street. It's first come first to be seated, so if you want a seat in the front aim to get there earlier. The seating in some areas is a bit squished but there is still enough space for the servers to walk behind most people. The price for drinks is pretty normal, I just got drinks but there were food options as well. The comedians I saw were pretty funny so it was definitely worth it. There is a 2 drink min, but the ticket priced make it a good deal.

    The food is ok but the venue itself is really nice. Easy parking and good service. I would come back

  • 4/5 josh k. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun experience with friends and family. Do not bring your kids here if you don't like foul language. The food is a little heavily priced but it's okay. The meetings are funny hilarious good laughs good for the endorphins. Depending on the comic prices range higher. Sitting as first come first serve You come earlier you get to sit in the front.

    Recently went for the first time wirh a group of 9 and had an amazing experience! The venue was very nice and because it wasn't really huge you have a great view of the stage and performers! That staff was excellent and I have to say the food and drinks were really damn good!! Surprisingly good in fact! Don't hesitate to see your favorite comics there, you wont be disappointed! Definitely going back soon!

    One of my favorite comedy clubs to go to. The food is decent and the drinks are good. I like this club because it's real easy to get to as there's 2 parking structures. I also recommend signing up for their email list since they offer discounted/free tickets frequently.

    I have had so many wonderful experiences here! The staff is so hardworking and attentive. If you’ve never come to a comedy show, this is the best place to start. A young man named Kevin helped us and was so professional and kind!

  • 4/5 Shani Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Great time here! Had the sliders while we were waiting for the show to start and they were really good. Our drinks were good too and the staff was awesome. Super attentive and friendly. Only complaint was the doors opened 15 minutes later than they were advertised to and it was very hot waiting outside. Chris Distefano was hilarious, though!

    Went for Bobby Lee. Had a great time and met my favorite comedian. My first time going to a comedy show. I will say the overall experience is 5/5 because I'm a fan of Bobby Lee. As far as the venue goes, i ordered drinks through their online app where your scan the barcode. Never came. Venue is a 7/10
