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. \n\nI 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. \n\nAll 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."^^ . "4"^^ . .
