Well maintained, fun and private place.

I went to SUPPORT a friend who did an Improv Show... it was FANTASTIC! I absolutely love the staging and space... it was just the right size! I will surely be returning soon!

We took some kids from our family to the Saturday family time. They really enjoyed it. They adults in the group also had fun so I’m thrilled. Now we need to go back without the kids for the whole exp.

Inside is 5 stars. Behind the building for parking needs a little love.

A fun place!

The improv is terrible. I cant see why anyone would take a class from people that arent even good at the skill.

Great space! Lots of positive energy with a few hard hitting laughs! I look forward to visiting this place again.Would make for a great date night ;)

This. Place. Rocks!Okay, not only is this place just darn beautiful, but funny people congregate here just to entertain you. This is literally the hottest thing with pants on in the triangle.What to expect:- a cover charge- beer and pop at the bar- red paint EVERYWHERE (and its classy)- someone in the sound booth (A.K.A. God)Yeah, youll laugh. Hell, you might even not. But by golly youll have a knowing in your sweet, little heart that you made the right choice in stopping by.Ive never taken a class here, but the shows are Great!!Great folks. Great time. Check it out.(Yes, its a nice date spot).

My personal experience in a class was horrible. The instructor ignored overt homophobic remarks and personal insults. Theres a fine line between comedy and personal attacks but the staff apparently doesnt care to read when an attack is too personal or insensitive. Normally, I couldnt care less what someone thinks of me personally, but in a learning context, instructors need to be more thoughtful and recognize bullying and have a duty to stop it. That didnt happen here.

Absolutely love this place! Comfy seats with a bar behind you and a coffee shop in the front. You can practically spend an entire evening here! Also they have free improv on Fridays.

The employees were fantastic. Comedy was decent. The bar is lacking; needs to be stocked better... including stocking what is offered on the menu.

The PIT is aptly named. It is a dark little dive bar with a small stage and far less seating than the photo would lead one to believe, however the folks running the place are cordial and the entertainment was good. Do be warned that they do not accept cash, only cards... which they process on a tablet like a flea market vendor. All in all, I enjoyed the place and would recommend it.

This place is awesome and the folks here are too! Cant wait to try out some classes for improv there once this pandemic subdues!

The founder Ali is hilarious and gave us all and LOL. This is venue is small, but has a lot of potential. Granted some performers were funnier than others, but in the end you’ll walk away satisfied. You can bring your own food in as long as you’re watching a show and ordering some drinks from them. Good vibes.

The service here is excellent..

This place is cool. Maggie at the bar really cant get you to buy her a beer though lol The bar is lacking but the show was great definitely recommend spending 10 bucks to go laugh but they do require you to bring your own beer lol

I love this place. Nice bar. Seems lightly haunted. The PIT hosts open mic comedy. I went for a burlesque show, which was awesome!

PIT comedy is the night out you didnt even realize you wanted

They could be great if they memorized their act..overall nice people.

Good comedy, more people need to visit this new jewel in Chapel Hill. Open mike on Friday nights at 11, special guests, classes, corporate team building, and a full bar! Public parking directly across the street. What more could you ask for? 4 stars because they only take credit cards, please start accepting cash

Best stand up I have seen

People are quite welcoming and the atmosphere is genuinely just a fun, good time. Came for an open mic night and heard a bunch of people be really hilarious. Good time, good time.

Check out wildcard improv and trifecta on Saturday nights!

Its fine if you want to go and watch a show, but the classes are a waste of money.

I tried this place a couple of tines now but both times the comedy was mediocre, the bathroom was unclean, and the women behind the bar was rude.

Been to a lot of improv clubs. This ones stellar. Great interior and the show we saw was bundles of laughs!

Great place to go out for a laugh with friends

Awesome experience. Cant wait to go back. I did the standup bracket and felt bad we had to vote for a winner each round because they were all so funny. I am excited for them to get their alcohol license, the bar looks amazing with the new setup.

The general manager is one of the best general managers for a small comedy venue anywhere in the Chapel Hill / Durham duopolis.

A fun evening at The PIT - getting better all the time. Good atmosphere, good people, cool creative performance vibe. Thank you PIT crew!

A really fun place to watch or perform comedy.

This is such a special place

Ali is doing a cool thing for the local comedy community. Very cool space for shows and improv classes. This place is going to put Chapel Hill on the map for comedy.Update: Ive been hanging out here for over a year and have take 2 of the improv classes and have seen a bunch of shows, and have had the opportunity to perform a few times. All the staff and instructors are great. A lot of hard work is being put into growing the scene down here. Very inclusive and a safe place to try comedy. If youve ever felt the urge to explore improv or performing, but have been too afraid to try it out, youre in good hands. Judgement free and very supportive.

I attended a private workshop here this evening and had a blast. It was the first time myself and the other members of the group had been to the PIT or even done anything involving improv yet we all left sore from laughing so hard. Chapel Hill gem!

Went to The Pit last night for the first time. Love the venue and the decor.We saw Mike Lebovitz and Ryan Donohue both from NY /Boston/RI areas.Our group had a good time, only $10, they don’t accept cash (odd) and our wine was $7.Come on out, help support Live Comedy ️

Wonderful community resource! Laughter and self expression are vital for individuals and societies. Very lucky Chapel Hill is to have this gathering place.

Love three waters cafe!

The Pit, You need to book Comedian Ice Cream!! The funniest out there right now. What you waitng on, tha comedian you have coming up cant touch Ice Cream

The PIT is a great place to see local standup and improv, or take a class and learn to do it yourself! The performers are consistently excellent and the place itself is stunning. Highly recommended.

The new stage is great. The comics were funny. Its back!

Greatest new spot in town. Come check it out!

Soooooo glad the Pit is here. Looking for it to do GREAT things in the Chapel Hill community.

Beautiful space, lively crowd, love spending time here.

Saw Brian Tucker, head writer for Saturday Night Live, in a very intimate setting. Was able to talk with him at length. He was interviewed by Ali Farahnakian, The PITs owner for a pod cast. Brian (UNC class of 93) said when he was getting started in standup there were no comedy clubs in Chapel Hill and was glad to see one here now. The Peoples Improv Theater is currently undergoing renovations and will be open for business and teaching classes in comedy & improv in the coming months. Ali Faranakian owns two successful comedy clubs in New York City. Its great to know that Chapel Hill will soon have its own BIG CITY COMEDY CLUB!

We expected more from Drunk Shakespeare and ended up leaving early.

Good comedy and friendly atmosphere.

Awesome people and comedy venue
