About

Comedy ClubEvent VenueFundraisingDinner TheaterBusiness Meeting Locations
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.

    Incredible show, sadly they don't give out free tap water, which is wild considering state building code 410.4

    I went to see a 9:00 show. Seating was supposed to start at 8:45. The club didn't open the doors until after 9:30. I just left. The mood was ruined.

    I wasn’t going to give it 1 star but I am just so irritated. I’m going to have to start eating before I go or something because this food is horrible. Each time I try to give it another chance, it is proven how horrible it still is. The wings had no meat. Just breading. Like I had to chew hard breading. And my burger tasted fake. No real meat, just a crunchy fake thin patty. I’m not sure if the food is cooked quick from being frozen but if so, you can tell. It took me over an hour to get my burger. Sending it back or getting something else would mean the potential of nothing at all because of how slow the service is so we just kept it. Also, the prices are insane for the quality of food you receive. If I do have to eat here again, I’ll get fries only safe option. Also, we had great seats but it was so hard to enjoy because the couples on each side of us, talked the entire show. Next time, I’m probably going to ask someone to speak with people if they talk the entire show because we could barely enjoy it. There was also an incident with both couples food and the waiter was so loud and trying to explain his side. Beyond unprofessional and again, distracting. I’m so mad I paid for all that food. And $7 for water? I’m not a fan.

    We went to a show tonight and ending up leaving. The opener for the main comedian was funny all through his show, but at the very end, he did a joke about being in a music video and invited a young woman up on stage. He proceeded to tell her to "follow his lead." At the end, he positioned her to open her legs and put his head in between. It obviously threw the girl off, as she was visably in shock and was confused on how to exit the stage. I understand the club isn't responsible for what the comedians say, but if this is what the club allows, they don't deserve to be in business. NEVER should a woman be invited on stage to be forced into behavior without her consent. We were so appalled, we left. Action needs to be taken against comedians that believe they have the rights to a woman's body simply because they have a platform. They wouldn't have the platform to do things like this without the support of the club.

    Nice venue. The food took a long time to come out. The food menu could be a lot better also. They need to add bone in wings to the menu. The service was super slow as well. Other than that, it's a decent spot.
