Venue was nice. We arrived early and were able to sit very close to the stage. Food was decent and the servers were wonderful, very attentive. Everything is ordered on your phone so putting in food order was easy. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Good experience.

Came out to see Randy Feltface and had a good laugh, food was pretty good, service was great and the staff was very friendly. Drinks were pretty good.I would definitely not pay extra for the VIP for this place, the seating is terribly cramped and can only be made worse if you are sat next to someone who has no self awareness to consider that the constant adjust of your seating position will make everyone behind you start doing a core workout in order to properly see a comedian.Definitely not worth double the price of regular admission.

I do like the new venue. The only issue I had was if you are going to charge crazy amounts for food at least make it edible and have bigger portions.

I recently visited the Brea Improv and had a fantastic time. The show was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a night of comedy. Everything was clean, and the service was impressively quick.There was a minor issue with our bill due to their use of QR codes, which caused our bill to get mixed up with another table. However, the staff resolved it very quickly and efficiently, which I appreciated.Overall, a great experience, and I look forward to coming back. Im giving it four stars!

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 didnt 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.Weve been to 12 Improvs, and this was the most disorganized location.Love the comedians! Funny and engaging as always.

Amazing and fun time Everytime I come here. Always a fun time no matter where I sit. Great drinks. Good food. Always great performances. I highly recommend for a fun night out or even for a big date. Always a great time. I have been here a birthday, anniversary, first date. Etc.

Always a great line up! Every show here has been entertaining. Service is either spot on or very slow. Gotta sit close or barely a view to stage as floor in relatively level for entire venue (slightly high toward back but cant see over others).

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).

My wife and I visited last night to watch Brad Williams. There are multiple parking areas surrounding the building, which makes it extremely convenient to find parking. We ordered desserts as we had already eaten before going inside. My only complaint was the seating arrangements. You are jammed in with many other people, and the layout makes it difficult to view the performers. Other than that, the service was quick.

EDIT: 4 Stars bc at the end of the day, Im here to watch Stand-Up and have a good time, which I did. Thanks!The newer venue is great. Its 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 orders werent what we expected.1. Theres 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 were very salty3. The artichoke dip comes with a lot of dip but not enough chipsTip: If youre 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.

Been going here for years. Parking is much better nowadays. Park across the street in the parking structure. Taking away one star because the AC when we went last time was either off or broken. Never was told which. 20° hotter inside than out. Tough room when everyone is sweating so much. Usually not the case. Hopefully that doesnt happen again.

The opening acts could have been better as they have been in the past. Maybe it was just the night? Saw Dave Attell. Comedy was fun.The service is good at first then drops off a cliff. The waitress says to order through her and not through the table website menu. This didnt work out so feel free to order through the website. Food is expensive and reminded me of the same quality you would get at a middle school.They should just figure it out and deliver quality food for that pricing. Its not all about making a much money as possible folks.

I had a terrible night a server with a mustache was rude to me and lied about me being aggressive when there were many witnesses to the harassment i had received, I asked for a name to make a report was given multiple excuses as to why I couldn’t have a name I was kicked out as a paying patron to the establishment when I had asked my own server to contact management about the situation to try to deescalate the situation before it became an issue. Management did a terrible job investigating and handling the situation Jaclyn the assistant GM refused to hear my plead even though a security guard present at least corroborated the fact that I looked at him in confusion and not aggressively after I had been bumped. I feel sad and embarrassed I feel as if I have been discriminated against and harassed over me trying to pass by and use the bathroom politely by the server who has a terrible attitude and I had to endure I hope Mikey Breicha the general manager has time to read this and remedy this situation I am offended and my first trip to the brea improv was so negative I would hope anyone that contemplates coming here beware you may be kicked out for nothing at the discretion at the rude waiting staff

The comics were good, the staff nice, good location with nearby free parking. We sat in the back and it was hot and cramped. Get there early to sit in front. Service was good but the food and drinks were expensive, poor quality and not very good, small portions for the price

Went to go see a popular comedian and he was funny but the service is not that great. We had to ask for some things multiples times to the servers and were brushed off by a couple of them. We ordered the wings and could totally tell they were just frozen wings as the middle of them were not well cooked and cold. If you get there late you’re going to have a terrible view as the tables are not setup at a proper angle but more of squeezing every penny out of this building.

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 didnt 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-Os Bucket List show, and did not disappoint.

Review №21

2022-07-12 05:16:54

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!

Love this venue. They dont really shove the the 2 drink minimum down your throat and even if you sit all the way in the back, you can still clearly see the whole stage. Usually some great acts performed here and the whole vibe is chill and relaxing. No rowdiness from anyone when i went and the staff is helpful.Arrive early to park, you have to use the mall parking structure, and get a seat in the front. Its worth it! Grab a snack during your show. The food is delicious :]

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 its right across the street and its free.

Do not like the new seating arrangements. Feel like were packed like sardines. Before it was a little more intimate where u can sit next to the stage next to the performer. This new seating is bad if you are short and there is a tall person or someone with big hair in front of you which was the case this time for my wife. You pay to see the performer not rhe person in front of you.

Review №25

2024-04-22 02:53:39

This is a horrible venue to see comedy. They pack you in like sardines with seating set up to ensure you have no view of the comedian while on stage.Service was bad. Save your money and watch the comedians on youtube or visit a club with seating that allows you a good view of the stage from any position in the theatre.

I purchased a Groupon for this place and have called and left messages for over 2 weeks now to reserve tickets as thats what the Groupon instructs you to do. I sent 2 emails as well and have not received a response. The one time someone returned my call I missed it and she gave no details on how to obtain these tickets as I asked in my VM. Ive even left a message on the managers line. Whats the point of having phones if yall never call back? Going to ask for a Groupon return for all that I bought for this place. So much for trying something new. First timer experience sucks! You guys need to get it together.

Horrible place, go somewhere else! I sat on the second level at the long tables. On the second level You don’t even face the stage, you face one another. They have so many tables crammed in there that people can barely squeeze by to get to their seats. I’m 5’3” and saw absolutely NOTHING during the show. I mean I couldn’t see A THING unless I stood up, or leaned sooooo far forward or backwards that I was completely blocking someone else’s view. The food is soooo mediocre, service is slow and drinks have little to no alcohol. I felt incredibly ripped off. The level of greed displayed at this place is disgusting. They have no regard for the comfort or ability to ACTUALLY SEE of their patrons. Will never go here again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS (especially if you’re shorter than 6 feet tall).

Took an hour to get water. All alcoholic drinks came out right away. All jokes were of the genital region. After an hour, it gets very old and relates that the comic did not have material. Everyone had a great view. The location was great, comics that night was needing new material,. They needed to start from scratch.

Review №29

2024-01-02 21:51:24

The service was fast, efficient and friendly. The food however is the reason why I removed a star. The price for food is pretty high and it isn’t anything special. I got a Nashville chicken sandwich and it was subpar. My wife got nachos and they seemed pretty small for the price we paid. With all that being said, we had a great time and the service really made up for how low quality the food was.

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.

Sam Morrill was fantastic, but the house is really large compared to Hollywood venues. Not an intimate show, but a fun night out in the burbs.

Easy entrance. Great looking place. Seating is a big turnoff. Small seats and if you have neck issues and back. Beware. You gotta twist and look over shoulders. Not a good layout.

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.

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 Im 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

I come here quite often. They book great talent, but the service can be hit and miss. The servers can get overwhelmed during sold out shows and especially on nights when there are two shows in a row. Overall a great place to see stand up comedy.

Came to see Nurse John. Poor customer service. Rushing us out with full drinks. If they cant let yourinish your drinks then make a last call 45 minutes before the show ends. The guys was so rude. Will not be coming back. If I can give 0 stars I would….

Review №37

2024-04-08 03:53:41

If I could give ZERO stars I would. My husband and I truly enjoy date night at a comedy club, but thanks to the rude staff and servers we will no longer come to brea for a show. If I pay $100 for food and drinks I am not sure why it’s an issue to ask for a glass of water. We had FOUR different waiters/waitresses come by and drop off food or our drinks and when we asked about our glass of water they told us they wouldn’t bring one. It’s “too hard to do that” expected us to buy a bottled water for $7 after we already spent a lot on mediocre food. The servers also told us management makes them say no to bringing a glass of water. If you want to get people to PAY to watch a show and PAY to eat food and PAY for drinks the least you could do is bring a glass of water if they ask. This place is ridiculous. I’ll make sure everyone we know that goes to improv stays clear of Brea and their lack of service.

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!

Had to wait almost two hours for a drink. They came to our table and notified for last call as we were still waiting for our first drink to arrive. Got them both back to back like 20-30 mins before the show ended then they were trying to kick us out right at 10pm. Had to leave one of our drinks. Very poor management we won’t be going back

Review №41

2023-11-29 02:55:01

Its pretty easy to get to and there is free parking across the street. Its 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.

Reasonable prices. Ive seen many great comedians here. Just know you have to buy 2 items in addition to the ticket, but they keep the ticket usually under $25 even for good ones.

Review №44

2024-02-25 05:56:22

Good comedians. Terrible sightlines if youre sitting in anything in the second tier or above.Long tables of shoulder to shoulder people that are NOT facing the stage. Everyone has to pivot in someway toward the stage and then theyre looking through a row of heads in front of you.And then - before and after the show - they are playing really loud music. For like a full 30 minutes before the show. So loud that you can hardly talk to the person across the table. Its especially odd since as the comedian comes on stage, it all bmgets very quiet.Do yourself a favor and seek out one of the traditional clubs like The Comedy Store, Largo, and even Improv Hollywood for some contrast.

Review №45

2024-01-10 18:33:20

They always have something good performing here. Ive been here several times to see comedy shows and they never disappoint. I suggest ordering drinks before the show though because it can be distracting when someones ordering them to you a performance.

Came here to see pablo Francisco. Had the fish tacos, pass. Microwaved tortillas/ dried up fish fillet. Chicken tenders and fries were choice. great draft beer choices. Service was prompt and courteous. Tables are small, and unless youre in a party of four, your gonna split the table with another couple. Over all, I loved the experience at the show! Free parking across the street.

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

Loved this place. We went to see Taylor Tomlinson and the show was sold out. The servers were very attentive. If you are planning to go there, you can also get dinner there so no need to spare extra time to have dinner before! Great vibes and definitely recommended.

The Goods: The beautiful fun, fancy and engaging night came to a great finale when I made birthday plans for my fiance to come to the comedy show featuring Bill Bellamy. Let me start by saying a disclaimer:DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM A 3RD PARTY PROMOTER... I repeat DO NOT BUY TIX FROM A 3RD PARTY PROMOTER.I found out about the show from a 3rd party website. Bout 2 general admission tix for $239.00 or so.. her best friend decided to join us. I went on the site to see about a 3rd tix.. it was only $30 with VIP being $80 and meet the comics for $90 .. I was highly upset with myself. No refunds no exchanges. Disclaimer done.The place was bigger than I expected and while the seating reminded me of speed dating set up (2 person face to face with other seats next to it). The stage was close enough to see and all 3 comedians gave you worth you money. The wait staff were more than friendly and the technology was not needed in my opinion (virtual Scanned Menus) The valet was decently priced and the show was a great length of time. It is first come first serve so ppl who came after us of course got seated farther back or farther straight east or west of the stage.The Bad: The VIP booths are cute and I can see the appeal but they are strategically placed as barriers in between tables. The general admission seats are close together to where you pretty much found a new friend or an uncomfortable stranger. The food menu was not as large as I hoped it would be and the Pretzqls while good were bot as plentiful as I hoped they would. Looks like they came out the box with hardly no salt on it and thr cheese looked like partially melted Velveeta. The Nachos were great tho. More toppings than nachos. The drinks were great and the bill was exactly what I expected after serial appetizers drinks. While our server was on point with checking in on us. I can see why they have electricity assistance as the night picks up. The servers get busy trying to give everybody that personal touch.

I saw Iliza Shlesinger and the show was great!But man, the venues seating arrangement is absolutely terrible. Unfortunately, my husband and I arrived an hour before the show started and majority of the seats were taken. We ended up sitting at the long row tables at the back. It was so hard to see the stage. All I saw were people heads. Since the whole back side of the room is one level and there are rows of seats. Also my head was turned, wasnt even facing the front of the stage (couldnt turn my chair, since it was so tight) Also, the proximity of those tables...sheesh. talk about personal space. I wasnt even able to eat comfortably, my elbows were basically touching both of my neighbors on each side.Service was okay. Food was decent. Drinks were fine. Nothing great. The only thing I did not like was that for some reason, they didnt give the whole back side of the rooms checks back(credit, debit, etc) until the end of the show. Like Iliza literally walked off stage and we all waited around 10 mins to get our cards back. Thought that was pretty ridiculous.Overall, I dont think Id want to come back unless Im truly dying to see a comedian. Otherwise, Id probably just go to the improv in Ontario.

Recently went for the first time wirh a group of 9 and had an amazing experience! The venue was very nice and because it wasnt 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! Dont hesitate to see your favorite comics there, you wont be disappointed! Definitely going back soon!

Amazing! Saw Norm Macdonald and had the best time of my life! Brea Improv was so intimate and the warm ups were hilarious! The drinks were about 10 to 15 a pop but they were extremely strong and fair. My boyfriend and I seriously had the greatest night of our lives here on June 2nd 2018! Plus they were selling tickets at the door for half price. It was amazing!

Saw Nick Swardson and he was hilarious!!!!! Had a great time. After the show, I used the ladies room and forgot my phone on the toilet dispenser, and didnt realize it until the next morning. I called and left a message with the manager. I went by the next day when they were getting ready to open the doors. Mikey grabbed it for me!!! What a huge relief!!! The burger, nachos, and dirty martinis were delicious!!! We will be back for sure!

Been here twice already and its great! Very clean, well organized, extremely friendly staff, great customer service, & great food. Really recommend the pizza. The atmosphere was epic! The two times that Ive been here Ive never had a bad experience. I got to see two of my favorite modern day comics those being Iliza Shlesinger and Craig Robinson!!! They did not disappoint and I would definitely see a show here again in the future! This place rocks!

The theater is too big and flat for general admission. so if you’re seated at the back and in the middle you’re not going to be able to see the front. You won’t be able to see the performer. You should just stay at home and watch it on Netflix. You can only hear the jokes but you would not see the performer.The service was so terrible as well. we came in a group and they took the order for the front group and did not take the order for the group at the back. It did not make sense?The food is pretty mediocre too and they’ve made us order one drink and one food.I’m sorry. I think you should drive a little further and go to the next Improv location to see the performer, or pay for VIP, or pay for general admission and get in line 3 hours earlier.My view from my seat.

Large and well laid out venue, I have always seen great comics at any of the Improv clubs Ive been to. But I would not recommend the early show at Brea Improv if youre planning to have dinner too. The service was virtually non-existent, dont even think about getting refills - had to ask 3-4 people to get 1 refill during the 2.5hrs we were there. Just have dinner first and come to the late show for drinks, if they never come back then you dont have to worry about the 2-drink minimum.As far as comedy, Ive never had a bad experience at any Improv (even their traffic school - lol).Finally dont bother with their Groupon offers unless you live locally and can visit the box office, they use a service to sell tickets for both online and when you call in that doesnt accept them or offer any information on when they can be used. Its almost impossible to reach the box office via phone to even find out what shows are not Special Engagements which the passes dont work on.Honestly with proper staffing & service this should of been a 5-star review, my previous visit was at the old location which wasnt as nice or large, but was properly staffed.

Finally writing a review so I can remember how much I dislike coming here. Like everyone has mentioned parking is free and easy which is the only good thing going for this place. The seating is terrible, no matter how close you sit for the most part you arent going to see who ever is on stage because youre cranking your neck to stare into the row of heads in front of you. Spent this last weekend unable to see the stage at all. Stay home and watch a comedy special from the comfort of your home instead. On top of horrible seating the drinks were terrible.

I was extremely disappointed with this Improv. I had been going to both Orange County Improvs for many years. It is so cramped when they seat you. I felt like we were sardines, very uncomfortable. I did not receive my drinks until almost the end of the show and I ordered them before the show started. Same with the food I ordered. Kind of ruined my experience. Used to be such a great place to see my fav comedians, now not so much.

We saw Zoltan Kaszas and he was awesome. Seating is good, be sure to arrive early if you want to be closer to the stage but there really isnt a bad seat.The food could really use some help. We ordered warm pretzels that came out not warm and fried pickles that were no longer fried by the time we received them. The batter was not warm or crispy. We did enjoy the strawberry shortcake but for the prices, I expect better food delivery. The waiter was good just clearly overwhelmed and managing a lot of people.I do like the option of ordering and paying online but the food still came out like it had been sitting a while before serving. We are going back for the entertainment but will be most likely be sticking to just drinks.

This is a very large place, and they pack you in. If you are not there 2 hours early, youre really going to have a bad seat. and if youre in the back, its hard to see, and to hear the audio is bad,not loud in the back at all. First time in the back, I always make it early and sit up front if this is your place. Then, its a great place to see a show. Order fast and double up because service is slowww and not knocking servers. its just large with a lot of ppl. They are working hard, you can see it.

First time at the improv Brea. Performers were funny, doorman & servers friendly. Food item names were hilarious and although we didnt have any food (only non-alcoholic Bev) we enjoyed reading the good names and descriptions.Only complaint is the servers who stood between the audience and performers taking longggggggg orders, try squatting or bending... You blocked our view.

We were here last night to see Preacher Lawson perform. I had never been to the Brea Improv so I was very impressed when I arrived. The venue is huge and gorgeous. Seating is arranged restaurant style with a mixture of tables and booths in front of the stage. For $25 General Admission we were sat at a table near the front of the stage. We had a really great view! Our server was very nice and attentive as well. My overall experience was great and am looking forward to the next comedian I see there.

Came to the Sold out July 30th Tom Segura working out material show.This improv is probably the most inconsistent out of the southern California improvs.Hollywood improv may be disorganized but this one dam sure doesnt thrive in seating arrangements.Doors open at 5:30 show starts at 7.Got in line before 4:30 and was the 5th person in line.When seating the audience if you want bar seating I have gotten multiple responses for every different show I have came here for.Sometimes it is, sure wait right here while we fill up the front section.Sometimes the show is not sold out and they may not open the bar section which is understandable.Sometimes its sure here in the bar seating wherever theres a free seat.Sometimes its sit in the bar area but you need to move all the way to the far end.Today for the sold out show it was if you want bar seating you would have to wait outside until the front section is filled, and we cant guarantee you a spot since its so busy. Even though I got here over an hour before the doors opened.All and all I only come here for the comedians not the venue.Food and drinks are overpriced and dont have the quality to match.Seats are really cramped which is why I recommend always getting bar seating.Sad to say this was my favorite improv but now I prefer Ontario and Irvine Improv, such a shame.**Edited down to two stars I was reminded when buying tickets it states seating is first come first served

Its been a minute since the wife and I did something besides dinner. I got an email from the Improv for some cheap tickets. We went to the 7:30 show on a Friday night. Running late so we valet parked behind the Improv and walked in. No time for dinner so we ate at the Improv. I had the pizza, wife had the sliders and we shared a salad. All in all the food was pretty good, however, it was expensive and wouldve had a better meal cheaper if we ate before. The service staff was on point. They have a nice system of using multiple servers to attend to a large volume of people. Everything up to this point was efficient and smooth. Our seats were on the side but honestly not alot of bad seats in the house. The sound was nice, no problems hearing everything. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back.

The Improv is always a good choice... Great shows!! I used to do VIP... but I prefer General Admission now. I Love to get the seating that faces the stage... without being cramped up at a table. The only knock I have is that the food isnt that great... but its acceptable. Lets face it... were there for the show and not the dining experience! I really enjoy it... and go about 3x a month.

Rating the venue service not the performances! Last night attended to go see Rene Vaca with my husband. Got there at 8 pm we ordered a modelo beer, and a soda. I got my soda around 8:40 the waiter then told my husband they were out of modelo after 40 min of waiting for our drinks! My husband then order two shots of tequila! We waited a long time for just those two shots. The waiter said that they were short staffed, which is pretty understandable but in this situation the waiter kept bringing multiple drinks to tables next and around us !! except our table!!! We then order a different beer which again the guy came back 20 min later and said they were out of it! At this point we could not enjoy the show. We had to walk out! We were really disappointed with service. We felt extremely excluded from everyone around our table. This was a Waist of our time and money!

Fun, highly organized.Having server come around and asking to pay the check during the last 10 minutes of the show was very distracting and put a lot of patrons out of the mood. We came to watch the comedian and not asked to pay for overpriced and somewhat bland food during the climax of the show.Stick to the beer and wine instead of watered down drinks and poor food.

The set up of this place was super odd for a comedy club. If you want to SEE the performer get there early. Some people turned their chairs forward but if you sit next to someone who doesn’t there is no room to turn. I stared at the wall the entire show. I won’t come here again unfortunately unless they fix the seating somehow. Disappointed I paid $60 to stare at the wall.

Its a big spot with seats that give you a good view no matter where you sit. I recommend the V.I.P. tickets, you tend to sit in the front and meet the headlining comedian after the show. The service was quick and convenient with the phone ordering feature. Drinks taste good and the food aint bad. Comedy is what youre there for and a fun comedy experience is what they deliver. Plus it has a cool bar with a live band attached to it so you can always keep the good times going after the show.

We were told we had to leave and go to Yard House down the street to use the restroom. I thought that was pretty ridiculous. At the end of the show it was so confusing for people. Very unprofessional Brea Improv. I spent over $100 in food and drinks and couldn’t even use your restroom..

It was my first time to the new location. I was pretty impressed with the look and feel of the new layout. The comedians they had that night I went, were on point. The waitress we had assigned to our table was polite. The service however was a bit to be desired. There were 4 at our table, our drinks came out super fast, but our appetizers (3 ordered) took 1hr and 15 minutes to come out. We ordered before the comics went on stage and it came out when the headliner was starting his act. So we were distracted with eating and attempting to pay attention to the show. We asked to speak to a manager at the end of the show, but they stated it would be roughly 20-30 minutes. We didnt want to ruin our night with more waiting. So we ended up going to another location to finish out our night.I truly hope they get it together and have faster food service.

Had a great time, great service, the food was actually pretty bomb. We had a few beers and they were served in these pretty nice cups, unless you order bottled beers. This is my 3rd time here and its been a 3rd consistent experience. Great for date night. But, what I do recommend is that you arrive early to get better seats, this place is pretty big and if you end up in the very back you will definitely wish you showed up early and had better seats. I had a pretty hard time seeing since this time we showed up late and they had a packed house.

The show may be a 4-5 star presentation, but the food needs improvement. My Italian chopped salad was so awful that I could not eat it. The lettuce was brown & was sitting on crushed ice. The tomatoes were old a mushy, & there wasnt any cheese. My husbands hamburger didnt taste like beef. This was not the first time that the food was horrible, but multiple visits. We cant stay quiet any longer. Please make the necessary changes in the preparation of the foods on your menu. We are frequent patrons, but are very turned off about ever returning.

I recently shot a music video in front of the Dave Chappelle mural and figured it was only right to come see a show. Last week I took my lady to one the waived-entry performances and could not have been more satisfied. We waited just shortly after doors opened before we were comfortably seated. We had an excellent view and only one other couple next to us before an overly excited fellow sat a few seats away. He was asked to quiet down and didnt cause any noise after. We didnt mind him, he was enjoying himself. We finally got the host and were introduced to our server at about the same moment. With the waived-entry comes a two drink minimum, each person. We happily ordered a couple brews, with some kick, and some extremely delicious spicy cauliflower pieces. The acts all gave great performances and there was a progression of humor as they were relayed in. Ian Bagg, the main act, came out blazing with non jokes and impeccable crowd participation/ interaction. Overall, the night was extremely fun, the seats were perfect, food was on point and the acts all had great sets. Will be back in the summer.-AngGeon

Christopher Titus show was absolutely wonderful! So nice to get back out in the world again so exciting. Service was great, see show was above and beyond wonderful oh, good job of social distancing, servers were masks I felt very safe cant wait to go back! Also the food here is really great drinks are good to if you havent been, people yourself treat come to the Improv you cant go wrong! Not to mention we really need to support our comedian spinner servers that had an even tougher year than so many, no ability for them to work from home! Come have a well deserved, and much needed laugh at one of the best spots in Orange County! Lets do our part to get them on their feet again too. Its safe, they are doing the most to make sure of it! See you there at an upcoming event... many to choose from! P.S. If you havent had the chance to see Christopher Titus and Bombshell Ray live, youre missing out on SUPERIOR stand up! Thanks everyone at Brea Improv! See you again soon!

Ok this place screams for profit only. I had seen the reviews for people saying that they’re sat too close together and I didn’t believe it until I seen it for myself, and I will never ever be back! This place is extremely uncomfortable!!! You’re sat at tables with the person you are there with sitting across from you and other guests that come in after you sit next to you and their partner across from them. So strange!! There is literally no elbow room at all!!! NONE! And if someone Ogre size sits to your right you can forget seeing the act on stage. My neck was kinked by the end of the night from having to try and move around to see. It was an awful experience. They make you purchase two items and the food is that of a school cafeteria. My Vodka Redbull had zero vodka in it. This place is a scam!! Go somewhere else

Located in the heart of downtown Brea with lots of shops and restaurants for dining! Plenty of free parking across the street but valet is available for only $7. The layout inside is where all seats have a great view of the stage and performer. We saw Deon Cole!! Its a 2 minimum order on the food and drinks and they have a nice menu of salads, burgers, fries, etc. Great place to laugh your head off with friends and family!!

Honestly I like it but the seats are just soooo close. Now if you are with a party of 4 or more great! Two its just so close. You sit across from each other if its just two (at least thats how they sat us). All seats you can see. This night all floor seats were sold out to a special reservation and I didnt find that out until I got there. I mean Ive always liked the Brea improve. My waiter NEVER came back with my change. It was so busy and chaotic. I got food, it was so so. We got dip and Monzerella sticks. I would visit again but Im simply not fond of the tight seating. Booths are now 100.00 per person, definitely over priced. Its clean and service is greattt!

I love coming to any Improv location usually, BUT this time the service was super slow. It took half an hour to get our 2 drinks. The pretzels we ordered were clearly frozen pretzels and were luke warm and just not very good. Its a cool location and I like to remodel with the bar and band/karaoke next door. We hung out there afterwards but again, took awhile to get the bartenders attention.

Was surprised with the new location a few steps away from the old one. Its much bigger and more modern. I loved our waitress Amara.. Totally cool and took care of us. Loved the booth seating for 4. The stage looked good with perfect lighting. I had a blast! The comedians were awesome!

Went to see Mark Normand this past Saturday and I only really have one complaint, but it is a pretty major issue. Considering I paid to SEE a comedian, it would have been nice to actually see him or any of the openers without having to position my neck in such a way that I could see between two peoples heads. I never imagined a seating setup could be so terrible, but it is. Its a crapshoot whether you will be able to see the performance. I also complained about two drunk girls that wouldnt shut up the entire show but no one did anything. So, not a great experience.

Been here a couple times know and the service somehow keeps getting worse, every time! I mean were getting our first drinks when the show is almost over and our food at the end of the show.And Im always early and one of the first to be seated and I rush to be the first to order and still it always happens.Comedians are great though.

This comedy club is very nice! The seating is pretty close so youll be bumping elbows with your neighbor if you sit at the middle tables. The stage viewing is really good, no matter your seating location youll have a good view of the performers. The food and drinks are good...kind of pricey but its expected. Over all I enjoy this club very much.

This place is awesome! Seating is based upon the time you arrive, so get there early. You also are seated at community tables. Food is good, but appetizer portions are small for the price. The end of the evening feels a bit rushed as the staff are calling last call before the final comic is on and then you are stuck dealing with your check as the main act is on. The place is then cleared pretty quickly after the final act. But it is definitely a fun evening.

Just got out of the Iliza show. Amazing. Only issue was that I ordered a drink and after 30 min I still hadnt received it. Buddy ordered his drink way after me. I informed a server and he said it was gonna be a couple more minutes. After they started handing out the checks about 30 minutes after that (total of 50 min), I informed the server that handed me the check and she got me the drink in less than 5 min. Just gotta make sure the servers are all on the same page. Awesome show. Great venue.

Awesome comedy venue. First time visiting. I hear its been revamped. The seating was great, we saw Nikki Glaser and found a promo on FB for free tickets (we paid service fees only). The line was about 30 people to get in, but it moved quickly. Even though the tickets say you need to print, we didnt, and the bouncer had a mobile device to check you in. Once we arrived inside, we requested to be seated at the booth (which we believe is only for VIP, we had GA tickets), and we got it! Food and drink was good and service was quick. The comics were also great and we had an overall great time. Will definitely visit again.

We saw Pete Holmes. He was great . BUT the food is HORRIBLE. Eat dinner before you arrive and if you must order, DO NOT order the wings or pizza with chicken. We were starving and would have eaten anything, but I have to say, that was the WORST food I have had anywhere in years. The servers were nice, Comedians great, but the food really, really sucked!

The seating is comfortable and view, sound of the stage is great. Staff is cordial and premises are clean. Food is too salty, my Cesar salad was punny and saturated in dressing, disgusting really. The menu has changed recently, it was much better before. Next visit Im definitely eating elsewhere and my 2 item purchase will be liquids. Plenty of free parking for the venue is a plus. I would like to see more female comics in the line up.

Food was amazing and so were the cocktails. Restrooms are very clean and staff is very friendly. The show I went to see was Christopher Titus and if you dont know who that is look him up hes freaking great! Loved the show! Bottom line if you get to go here to see anyone perform your service will be great.

Like this place, had general seating but had to upgrade to a both to get more Quality experience. And that made a world of a difference. Service was amazing. The show was hilarious. And got to take picture with the headliner at the end of the show. Last but not least the wings are literally the best wings Ive ever had. Definitely recommend

Was a fun experience, took the wife here for her birthday. We enjoyed the show. Recommend getting there early for the first show so you get good seats with GA. Its first come, first serve. Food was also pretty good and we had an on-top-of-it waiter.

1. The waiter that we had, I was getting annoyed with. We ordered food and drinks that was $56, and when we asked for a glass a Of water he said I have to take the orders for the other customers. It took us asking 3 times and 30 minutes to get some water after already having ordered food and drinks. I think the venue needs to talk to the staff and understand no matter what they are costumes and the staff are paid to do the job.2. The food isnt bad but paying $16 for a burger and fries is a little much, especially after paying to get in.but its the Improve and in Brea I guess.3.The venue was good and the Comedians were great.

Every seat is a good seat. No need to pay extra for a booth. Plus the booth has a $200.00 spending minimum to purchase food and drinks. Thats a little expensive. Go and enjoy a show. I dont think youll be disappointed.

Great and exciting night out. This place gets some really great and big name comedians. Came for Rob Schneider and had a blast. Got seated at the very front with an amazing view. Venue is large but intimate. Hilarious night.Food and drinks are well priced. Other comedians were even taking pictures and hanging out at the exit after the show.Got a photo and was just a really sweet & kind extra touch.

The good was great with the mushroom flat bread pizza and the chicken quesadillas.... We had 2 glasses of red wine and the room temperature was great..... Cant wait for another show to attend.

We went to see a show and they were 30 minutes late letting us in the door. We ordered food once inside but it was mediocre. We were not impressed by any means. The show was alright but we left early because we were bored. Some of the employees were nice and some seemed irritated. Overall, not such a great experience.

It is simply the best. The place is modern and clean, they moved locations to a bigger place across the street from the old one. The show is awesome, we laughed so hard gof stomach ache my throat hurt and got a headache (thats how good the show was). Yeah the food and drinks are pricey but its worth it especially the drinks, theyre not watered down. Definitely must go.

Cool comedy spot on the corner. BOGO tickets are offered sometimes. Ample free parking in dt Brea, park across either street in the parking structures or the lot next to Rubys.Inside it is a nice size place. Theyll mostly sardine you in amongst long tables. Might take awhile to get in for the second show after waiting in a line that wraps around the building. Saw hilarious Aries Spears show, only had one drink even though theres a two drink min. Not really enough time for a second one if u pregame. Service can get a lil slow after the show starts. Overall, a good spot for a couple hrs of comedy.

We went to see Chris Porter and really enjoyed his performance. The new venue is pretty nice but not finished yet. The staff is professional and competent but overwhelmed. Our show started an hour late and the servers were a little frantic trying to get us served. The venue is still pretty new and theyve probably just brought on new staff. Id go again but wait a bit until they can get their act together. Also, the food has gotten better. We really enjoyed the Dirty Fries.

Came here for the first time with our friends, it was so fun! Seating was great we were able to see the acts with no problems. Drinks were great, food was delishous. Will definitely be going again. There are lots of places for dinner so if you want to go before or after there are some great spots around so you can make a fun night out of it. Andrew Santino is a must see as well!!

Sometimes getting the same experience in different locations is best. I have to say this is like its sister locations. But new visitor heads up it shares an entrance with a restaurant. I admit I walked in a circle before I realized it. Food is real good and the drinks are pricey but they dont skimp on the alcohol.

I usually purchase tickets in advance & seating is first come - first seated get there about one hour early if you want good seats. They serve good cocktails but, somewhat pricey. The foods are good but, a tad over priced. Its hit & miss on the internment: I like to just show up and be presently surprised by the headliners performance. Great entertainment for two & < $100 (total): about 1/2 that if you eat at one of the abundant restaurants with in 5 minutes walking distance. Highly recommended for anyone over 21. A great time and way cheaper than Disneyland !
