Improv Asylum
Improv and sketch on Hanover Street, with a main stage show most nights and weirder stuff late.
Improv Asylum is an improv and sketch comedy theater on Hanover Street in the North End. The main stage show runs most Wednesday through Saturday nights, with two or three performances on Fridays and Saturdays. Through October that’s the Halloween revue, Nightmare on Hanover Street.
Tuesdays belong to the theater’s house improv teams. Late on Saturdays there’s Raunch, the adults-only (18+) improv show, and the calendar mixes in stand-up battles, cabaret and showcases.
Dinner first
Hanover Street is lined with Italian restaurants, and the theater sells dinner-and-show packages built around a 5 PM dinner. See every listing on the comedy page.
