New to The Improv Shop? Let us help you plan your visit!
With a stocked bar and a spacious patio, there’s plenty to do before and after shows. If you’ve never been to our St. Louis space, here are a few helpful tips to make your experience as awesome as it can be.
1. Pick Your Show
We have shows at 7PM on Thursdays, and at 8PM and 10PM on Fridays and Saturdays. With a wide variety of formats – including improvisation, sketch, and more – there is sure to be a show to your liking. You can peruse our current line-up and purchase advance tickets by clicking here!
2. Where to Park
Our St. Louis venue is located at 3960 Chouteau in The Grove, nestled snugly behind White Castle. Free parking is available in our dedicated lot East of our building, and doors open at 6PM.
3. Grab a Drink
Cocktail service is available during shows on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
4. Grab a Bite
Order food at the bar or from your seat in the theater. Our kitchen offers a variety of apps, burgers, and snacks (vegetarian and vegan options included)! Our kitchen is open 6-11pm on Thursdays and 6pm-midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
5. Pick Up Your Tickets
Thirty minutes prior to showtime you can pick up your tickets at our Box Office. The Box Office is located past the bar on the left. The Box Office attendant will be able to assist you and answer any questions you may have. If you didn’t order tickets in advance, no worries! Tickets are available for purchase in-person at the Box Office as well.
6. Enjoy the Show
Our first set of shows begin at 8PM (7PM on Thursdays). Seating is open, so feel free to choose an area of your liking. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, order a drink during the show from our cocktail staff. Sometimes performers may ask for a suggestion from the audience. If you feel inspired, offer up a response! If that’s not your cup of tea, simply sit back and enjoy the show. Shows typically last around 60 to 90 minutes.
7. Have a Nightcap
Just because the show ends, doesn’t mean the night is over. Enjoy a nightcap at the bar, cozy up in one of our lounge areas or settle down by the fire pit on our patio. If you do choose to call it a night, we hope to see you again soon!
