First time at the pop up drive in and it was SO much fun and very easy navigating around the streets. Bring some refreshments (or better yet buy some), bring your portable radio and enjoy the show. Thank You, Plaza and Dads Garage!!

Because covid, it was drive-in theater format when I went. Mad Max: Fury Road was playing, and it was perfect for the venue. With the small lot and the eye-level screen, the non-stop action filled the windshield, making it feel almost like I was in the movie.(Ill add that the logistics of the operation were flawless: concession, porta-potties, traffic control, parking etc. They were even prepared to give our car a jump at the end when we needed it.)

Fantastic space. Fantastic people.The downstairs is a great box office and hangout space. Theres plenty is room, feels comfortable with plenty of personality. Its also used for smaller, more intimate sets. The main stage upstairs is beautiful and can seat a few hundred. The chairs are comfortable and even have cup holders. The sound system and lighting are impressive, too. This is not a small improve comedy club, its a fun theatre with an inviting, warm community of people. I highly recommend checking out the shows they produce.

Dope little pop-up drive in. Hit supermo for tacos and an agua fresca. And if you still thirsty or want some snacks. They doing a COVID car hop with drinks and snacks. The mobile bathrooms are clean and ACd. Just wear light clothing and roll down your windows, that east side summer night air feels great. watch some weird movies with some fellow strangers.

I brought a couple of my Murderino friends here last Friday for some My Favorite Murder Improv, and Dads Garage did NOT disappoint! Location was a short walk from Krog Street Market, the drinks werent overpriced, there was popcorn, and not a bad seat in the house! The show itself had me rolling in laughter and I will definitely be back.

We went for a friday Improve night. I was a little sceptical at first, but it ended up being really funny. The space is perfectly sized and the production is strong. Almost made me want to try out for the group. Great place and fairly cheap tickets.

This place offers more of a improv show, rather than comedy show. It was my first time seeing a improv show, but it was enjoyable. The drink is recently priced!

Our organization has been working with Dads Garage over the last 6 months with various team bonding sessions. Each department leaves with huge smiles and a better sense on how to work together as a team. I cannot say enough positive things about them! Each instructor is honestly incredible. We cant wait to use them again!

Had a great night. The Christmas Carol Invasion has become a fun holiday tradition. The new place is very comfortable. No matter where you sit, it will be a great seat. The change of invaders every night makes for a fun experience. Their improve shows are also a solid night of laughs. I cant wait to go back.

Enjoyed a wonderful presentation of Black Nerd at Dads Garage, the most recent performance I have had the privilege of seeing, and it was amazing. Would recommend any performance or improv event at this fine facility. Parking is excellent, they have a reasonable bar and snack facility available before and during intermission, and the property is always comfortable, well-lit, and easy to get into even for me an ADA attendee.

What do you get when you cross improv comedy with continuing themes? Hilarity! They have had a show going on for the season that builds upon each other and makes it extremely funny. Wed go back gladly in the future.

Review №53

Good show with pretty talented people. There were a couple times the comedy fell flat but they moved on quickly. I guess thats part of the game with improv comedy. Not a huge place and I dont think there could be a bad seat in the house. We were near the top of the center section and didnt feel too far away at all. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. Over all we had a great time and would go back again.

Good until the part where I was symbolically crucified and they started drinking my blood and eating my flesh it was great. But then they told me it was just for play play and then it was fine. At least I kept my soul.

Dads Garage worked with us to host a fundraiser for the Furniture Bank of Atlanta, and we had the best time.It was my first experience, and they were doing a Christmas Carol: Invasion. It was absolutely hilarious. The actors were terrific and quick on their feet, and the set was extremely well done as well.Throw on the fact they have a full-bar and great staff, and this is a great idea for a night out.

Dads Garage is one of Atlanta most unique experiences. The building is a converted church. You enter into an open space with seating, ticket pickup, and a good bar with a variety of drink options. The script shows are a blast. The show The Wrath of Con is a great example. I poked gentle fun at DragonCon attendees. At first I thought, I know these people., then I found myself thinking, I am these people. Dads also runs loosely script shows like the Scandal!. It is a soap opera unfolding across several weeks with each show taking over where the last one left off. Their improve is excellent, occasionally drawing talents like Colin Mochrie from Whose Line is it Anyway. Have a drink, see a show, and leave laughing.,

Went to the board members night, they did a total of 6 sets - two of which were videos available free online. Which was annoying since tickets for 2 people was about $70. Some of it was funny, but it was hard to hear without microphones as some did not project their voices. I was hoping for more. Its probably better on non-board nights, so dont make our mistake.

My first night there was the anniversary of Dark Side of the Room. Amazing space, great people and I loved how they featured various Atl artists. I went back the following week and saw different show, and it was also fantastic. If you’ve never been definitely give it a shot it is very worth it

Ive volunteered there a few times now and I absolutely love it! Everyone there is super nice and welcoming. The weekend shows are always awesome and sometimes they even have some famous people on stage-- Colin Mochrie was there a couple of weeks ago! Even a few people from the cast of Archer are there quite a bit. Definitely awesome people and a good time!

Not handicap friendly. Our friend couldnt get upstairs to the theatre because the elevator was broken, so their solution was to make her climb a steep hill with her cane and then direct us to the worst seats possible where she couldnt move her neck to see the screen.

Review №92

This is what I love about the Atlanta theater scene. I can do the high-end stodgy theater scene that can be thought provoking. But sometimes you just want to have fun.We went with friends to see a parody musical based upon the Ewoks from Star Wars. The crowd was nerdy, rowdy, and totally into the performance - and the cast/crew were not only fine with that they encouraged it. I even met the playwright standing in line at the bar (and you should know that the drinks were pretty good, too).

Review №94

Very funny and good time. BUT i went to a 10:30 show and they made sure to let everyone know its between pg and pg13 humor. It a comedy club that serves alcohol and bans dirty jokes. Please let the late show be less restictive. Kind of ruined the night. Also no budweiser. But over all a good time. I would highly recommend.

Didnt actually get to stay for show because we made the mistake of not checking to see if show was appropriate for kids. Review is for the fact they refunded our money even though it was our fault. I didnt even bother to ask, manager emailed us after we left to tell us! 5 stars for kindness! If show is 1/2 as good as the people working there I highly recommend. Im from out of town but if I get the chance to come back without kid Im there!

If you are considering going to Dads Garage do yourself a favor and go. This is a great place to visit if you are looking for a laugh. I recommend this as a great place to meet up with friends. For the price this is a must go to when visiting Atlanta.
