The bovine is awesome. Ive been taking classes there for almost two years. It is a huge highlight of my week. It is a chance to laugh and enjoy the company of others. They also have shows there six nights a week. Ive seen dozens of shows and it is such a good time. If you are on the fence, go see a show. They also have an intro to improv night that makes for a great date night.

As an event planner with As You Wish, I recently had the opportunity to work with Denise in planning our clients 50th Birthday party at Bovine. From start to finish, Denise and her team were incredible. Super detail oriented, helpful and so talented! Our guests had such a phenomenal time and really enjoyed the private, improv performance. I highly recommend this venue for parties and team-building events. 10/10!

It is hard to describe why, but I find this theater to be one of the most charming and endearing places in all of Denver! The shows are hilarious (especially The Heirs of Hogwarts) and ever changing. The actors are passionate, visible love what they do, and are wildly talented. The theater itself is small, which provides for a very intimate experience (it is also on the second floor of a building next to an Indian restaurant, which adds to the general charm). It is a small, local business that deserves to succeed and is thankfully doing so!They have five dollar tickets for students (which saves around 15 dollars per show!), so it is the perfect affordable evening activity!

This is a great place to see improv and an especially great place to take classes in improv. The instructors do a great job in encouraging you to try new things while making you feel safe to do so. I highly encourage everyone to take a final Friday intro class to try it out. Its only $10 and you might discover something new and wonderful in your life.

Bovine is a great theater to see improv and take classes. There is such a tight community of amazing people from all kinds of backgrounds. There are socially awkward people working on social skills, actors adding work to their resume, people who just genuinely love performance arts, some people taking classes just to see what its like, and more! I highly recommend taking classes - they just might change your life as much as they did mine!

I really enjoy the Bovine. Ive always enjoyed every show there. Its a really intimate experience because youre so close to the stage. Everyone I know also enjoys the Bovine. They enjoy watching the shows there and they enjoy performing there. I think its great that they give a venue for people to show off their talent. Ive never been disappointed. They seem to treat their performers well.

I love this theater! I started with a Level 1 improv class about two years ago and it has been life changing! The idea of doing improv terrified me and I was so nervous that first day! Most people in the Level 1 class were in the same boat, and we finished out through Level 5 together. The classes were SO fun, and challenged me in such positive ways. On top of that I was welcomed in by a whole community of truly wonderful people. I am so happy I took that first class! I am forever grateful for the Bovine and the ways its community has enriched my life.

Its really one big family of funny people. Everything about it is a great experience. Hopefully one day theyll raise enough money to make the place really beautiful. Right now its like a simple old New York Greenwich Village Theater.

This place is great if you want to have a fun time and great laughs. Ive gone several times and each time its different so if you go more than once youre not going to just get the same show like at other places. HIGHLY recommend you try it out.

My husband and I spent our anniversary downtown Denver and came upon the Bovine Metropolis Theater, and we are so happy we did! It was a little hard to find, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We laughed so hard during the sketches. We will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone looking for comedy.

The improv show had talented and hardworking actors. The theater is small but the audience was unfortunately smaller for the late show on a Saturday night. Id like to go back and see them with a full house.

The Bovine is the place to be for good, above the waist comedy. The class curriculum is very well thought out and its an awesome place to hang out. Staff is welcoming and the theater is clean and organized. You definitely dont feel like you are in the wrong part of town or that the theater doesnt fit in this neck of the woods either. A must see in Denver.

I have gone to many comedy clubs just this past year, and out of all the glitz and glam, Bovine was my all time favorite. You get an experience that no one else could come close to offering. Laughs all night. Close to food. Not too pricey. And hey they even offer classes from getting your feet wet in some improv to taking a huge dive into something greater. Bovine is and always will be a 5 star quality club.

I have loved every interaction I have had with Bovine and its representatives. They are a classy, kind, generous operation. The improv training is exceptional, and they are community-minded. I have very much enjoyed our experience with Bovine over the years, and our students educational experiences have been greatly enriched as a result. Thank you Bovine Metropolis, and keep up the great work!

Review №44

Been here several times for several different shows. Aways enjoyed it. The actors are funny and get the audience involved. They never have done the same skits since Ive been going there.The theater is on the smaller side which means you have an up close view of the stage amd actors but that also means theres not a ton of seating. They do yak reservations but if you dont have any, make sure you arrive early to get seats.

Absolutely the best improv classes in town. Students start as beginners. They gain so much confidence and skill and end the program performing. The training is invaluable to every aspect of your life, no matter what your personal goal is.

We have made the hour long trip to Denver several times for the Bovine Metropolis Theater. They do an excellent job of family-friendly hilarious improv. Each time is different as they involve the audience throughout, and their performers are different as well. We love going to this cute little theater and always have a great time and laugh a lot!

If you ever thought about taking improv, but fear kept getting in the way this is the place to learn it. The program gradually builds you up until you gain enough confidence to perform on stage and you meet a lot of great people along the way. The theater has a nice deep stage to play in and great stadium seats. Do it!!!

Solid Improv Group Here. This is a small theater that gets intimate with its crowd and has some really solid performers. Occasionally it gets a little quiet if you are sitting near the back of the room, especially if the heat/air kicks on.This is not going to be Whose Line but it is worth giving a shot - you just might enjoy what you see.

Ive been coming to the Bovine for at least five years now. Im not an easy laugh...but when I come to the Bovine, that totally changes! I find myself laughing all night. The improv show (On the Spot) is always funny, and the Christmas sketches that Ive attended have been really entertaining as well, especially the songs. It is a fairly family-friendly show, but I would recommend teens and up.

The Bovine Theater is a great venue and a fun way to spend an evening! Im amazed at the talent of those who have mastered Improv comedy, and the Bovine Theater even offers classes for those who want to learn. Whether for date night or with a group of friends, do yourself a favor in the New Year, and enjoy an evening of laughter!

Review №66

I finally decided to take an improv class at the Bovine several months ago. It was something I had always wanted to do. Though I knew I would learn a lot and have some fun, I had no idea how life changing this could be. The training has been the best thing I have done for my communication business as well as my personal life. There are few classes that weave so well into your life to make you a better communicator, build your confidence and add the extra fun spice youre looking for. As a bonus, the instructors and other performers and staff are a blast to be around. The shows are always fun and different. This has been one of the most welcoming environments I have ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Wouldnt trade a single moment of the time Ive spent at the Bovine for anything.

Didnt really know what to expect. It was Date Night, so my wife and I got super stoned and went to the Harry Potter act. It was so intense, very entertaining. We laughed the whole time, but not cuz it was always funny, but also of how awkward and weird it was. I only highly recommend going to this.

The Bovine never ceases to entertain! Have seen the On The Spot improv show several times now and it is always an awesome hour of comedy. Cannot beat the price either for the late show! Always going out to a comedy show that you and your friends can get involved in. If you have seen and like Whos Line Is It Anyway? then you will love the Bovine Metropolis!

At a time I was creating a new startup in Denver, I took all 6 levels of training from BMT in order to lower my stress level. It really worked!....the focus and fun level provide a great distraction from the day to day and the creativity flowed over into my job. The people both in the class and from Bovine Metropolis were great to work with and are still friends many years later.

I am having a lot of fun learning and playing at the Bovine! Taking improv classes is a highlight of my week. I enjoy stretching into the creativity and greater self-expression with a group of very fun people. I look forward to integrating my learning into my work as a trainer in Compassionate Communication to add to the fun learning that I offer others. Improv is such a great metaphor for life, looking for new perspectives, creating what we want, saying yes to life! The Bovine does a wonderful job of teaching in a supportive and encouraging way. And I love the way a sense of community is created. Being able to attend the very entertaining shows for free as a student is a great bonus too! If you want to have fun, grow, meet people, see some great theater, and expand your life experience, the Bovine is a great place to go for it!

Sorry to say that after high hopes from Google Reviews 4.8 rating, I cant recommend Denvers Best Improv Star - maybe it was an off night, but the performances were painfully unfunny and drawn out. The judges recaps were repetitive and long-winded: OK for a class, not a performance. On the plus side, a couple of the eight performers will definitely go on to better things and I wish them luck.

Bovine is the Seconday Night City Live of Colorado. About 100 years ago I graced the Bovine Stage and Im still wondering how I actually conned people into watching me make a the jokes. As a spectator you will have a great time and perhaps, if you are lucky see the world a little differently. If you are a performer, suicide note is optional, drinking is mandatory.

I went to see the Heirs of Hogwarts improv show, and it exceeded expectations! I loved that the team was able to keep up a thread of narrative through the entire show, while maintaining the momentum and humor. I felt the ticket cost was a bit high, but it was worth it, and its probably extra worth it if you stick around for the late show (which the ticket includes), which unfortunately I couldnt do last time. I will be back!
