Improv Comedy Club

THE IMPROV. 40 YEARS. MILLIONS OF LAUGHS.

The History.

Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre has been the career launching pad for dozens of the familiar faces of television and film. Before becoming a cast member on NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live,’ David Spade was a “local comedian” at the Improv in Tempe, Arizona, hosting shows regularly. Bette Midler was a cocktail waitress at the Improv in New York, where she was given the opportunity to exhibit her vocal talents. Other Improv alumni include Lily Tomlin, Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carey and the list goes on. Today, the Improv continues to showcase performers well on their way to join the ranks of the Improv’s famous veterans.

Café

Centrally located behind the ticket booth entrance, The Improv Café is a circular bar / restaurant with an open floor plan providing full dining and bar service from 5:30 PM to close with seating for up to 100 guests. Over half of the seating is in booth configuration.

Arrive early to enjoy drinks, meal or appetizers before your show, or, just drop by for an after-work get together with friends for great food and drink in a fun, upscale atmosphere with the best martinis in KCMO.
