HISTORY
Since 1963, the Improvisation Comedy Clubs have remained the premier stages for live comedy in the United States. Over the decades, the talent who have graced Improv stages represent the Who’s Who in American comedy.
Raleigh Improv opened in 2018 in the Parkside Town Commons retail center in Cary, NC, one of the fastest-growing areas in the Triangle region. Guests can enjoy comedy from national headliners in a modern 560-seat club while enjoying premium food and cocktails.
The venue features three tiers of seating, including 32 luxury booths and rail seating for nearly 90 guests, plus a curtain to accommodate flexible capacities.
Since opening with Ken Jeong on December 28, 2018, Raleigh Improv has hosted several top tier comedians including Tracy Morgan, Craig Robinson, Eddie Griffin, Rob Schneider and Jeremy Piven. An episode of the “Deck The Hallmark” podcast was filmed at Raleigh Improv, which also hosted a livestream by Mix 101.5, featuring local elementary and high school choirs.

- KBKinley BorumJun 28, 20262.0I was excited to experience Improv Raleigh last Thursday but my show was suddenly cancelled a few hours prior. They were kind to leave a voicemail, but they never explained whether we’d be given a refund in the voicemail. They said to call back, so I have… about ten times. Even left voicemails. Now it’s been three days and I’ve received no call back, no refund, no additional information. I keep calling and calling. Just $30 taken out of my bank account for a show no one was even able to go to. I’m at the point where I’m going to have to drive the 25 minutes to go in person and get my money back. I’m not going to give them one star considering I’m sure the shows would be great. But management HAS to get ahold of their communication with customers because this is ridiculous.
- TMTonette McQueenJun 23, 20265.0I love the venue! Every seat is the best seat in the house! The food was average and of course over priced. The pizza was barely warm and my friend's fries tasted like they were fried in old grease. The ceaser salad was small but the dressing was good. Clean bathrooms with great mirrors for pictures ladies!!
- EREleanor RandolphJun 14, 20261.0This place was closed due to lost of its liquor license and still have not received my refund after paying for Tony Rock tickets.
- JFjersey famousJun 12, 20262.0Tony Rock was amazing. SO Why i gave it 2 stars it's becuase there was NO Alcohol. Drinks and wings gives a comedy show a vibe. So I just got 1/2 a vibe.
- EGElaine GuevaraJun 6, 20261.0👎 😒 Great performers, though, to be clear. And there are comedic elements of how ridonkulous this place is! Order confirmation! We'll email your tickets! (Actually, we won't, you have to pick them up at the box office, but we will not contact you to let you know this change in policy and when you inquire, we'll act like we don't have your email address or all your info you entered to buy your tickets and you should have been calling us to confirm like it is 1999 🙄). Usually, I say, taking the time to write a bad review is about the worse use of time on this planet there is. But - oooooh - you all, I can't help it!!
