| - I have to admit I am a bit surprised at the review star rating for Tempe Improv. One thing I was a bit confused by is that our tickets read that the show began at 8:00 pm however, the time listed on here for when Tempe Improv opens, was 8:00 pm. Unfortunately, whether it's true or not, because it was listed, we didn't even go and check if the doors were opened. We just went to a different establishment to order a few drinks prior to. It's a shame really because we could have easily put that money in at their little bar in the front.
I can't review the bar portion of the establishment because we went straight to our seats. The place is pretty small, as it seems most of the local comedy spots are. I like it. I feel like I'm up close even if I'm not right up close. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. At no point was I upset in waiting for her to come back and check on us. In reviewing our bill, I suppose I was a bit surprised at the total cost. However, after a bit more consideration and drink counting, I realize we drank a fair bit and the prices averaged about $8.50 a piece. Not bad really. I did order a cocktail which I try not to do in fear of a nonexistent poor, that was not the case on this trip either. I definitely had alcohol in my mixed drink! As one would expect.
All in all the comic was entertaining the service was acceptable and we all laughed and laughed and had a great night! A final note, when I went to the washroom I liked that I was still able to hear what was going on inside. I'll be more likely to keep an eye out for other performances coming up here.
