Amazing venue. Super nice staff. Go out of your way to attend a show
Small place, but absolutely the best night my wife and I have had in such a long time. People were genuine, likeable, and extremely talented at impromptu comedy. I highly suggest it, blew away all my expectations.
Exceeded my expectations which were already pretty high cause I know the owners are real go getters. The club itself is gorgeous and modern and warm, nice bathrooms, parking, it just feels lush but doesnt cost like a fancy night out. They have national headiners and all ages shows so there is really something for everyone, unless you just really hate fun. Then, I mean they do serve alcohol so still, but you should stay home.
Cozy comedy club. Definitely a must-see in Greensboro.
First time there. Took my wife on a date. Absolutely fantastic. We will definitely go back. Fun times. Great setting.
Their family friendly shows are awesome.
First time attending the improv show and will definitely go back again. Hubby and I had a wonderful time. Bartender made delicious mixed drinks.
So freaking funny and great interaction between audience and comedians! Definitely will be going back!
Always have a great time there. Come to support a friend. One thought though, it seemed as if the comics were rushed last night compared to the last time I went. Still had a great time and will continue to do so!!
The owner and host was welcoming at the door and hilarious onstage. The bartender knew a lot about making drinks, then he went up and was a hilarious comic. Excellent experience!
Good times, good prices. Could have a better beer selection, but really theyre just saving me money with that one :)
The venue and setup were really good, and the people there were friendly. My date and I didnt enjoy the amount of explicit language in the humor, so we left. That was just our preference, of course—most people dont care as much about that, or about raunchy jokes. Were a bit more sensitive than average.
Tonight was great! My face is sore from laughing. We got a good variety of styles from the comics and the crowd was easy going and friendly. The owner spoke with us and was fantastic! They run a great club and we will definitely be back.
Saw Wikimedians and Mon Friere sketch shows, both of them killed it, loved it all ️
I went to see Anthony Crawford on Nov 23rd and the show was incredible. The club is very clean and has a great atmosphere. I think it’s the perfect size for a comedy club. Small enough to make it feel intimate but big enough to not make you feel claustrophobic.Just a heads up, there were a few parking spots next to it but I wouldn’t count on those if it’s a busy night.
Awesome and worth the money great amateur new graduates comedy,enjoyed myself
Went for a date night, and loved it! Definitely would recommend!!
Had a really fun time. The improv team were on point tonight. Very creative and came up with so many different ideas with the prompts from the audience. I was hoping that there would be a little bit bigger crowd but I think the show we were in was just right. (Remind me to go find that Goldilocks girl, she stole my line. She’s going to catch some hands when I see her! )
Fun spot. Seemed like a support group for comedians, when we were there for open mic night. I dig that, they are honing their craft. Funky spot off the beaten path. A 1st ammendment exercise in uncomfortable topics.
Ill find out my next visit I understood but I definitely have to go back
Good time on a Friday night with my wife
Small comedy club. I have enjoyed all the standup events Ive gone to. Parking is tight and you may have to park across the street at the church.
The 7:30 Improv Comedy Show kept us laughing. The performers were quick witted and kept the content clean and classy. My family is already talking about returning for another show.
My fiancee took me for a date night and we had a great time! Neither of us had been there before, but the comedians were great, and the bartender was super nice. Definitely recommend!
Obnoxious owner gets a laugh out of why you can’t locate how to sign up for her classes! So the JOKE IS ON YOU!!
Always so much fun! Love, love the new location. If you havent been to one of the improv shows, they are well worth checking out. Friendly owners and funny people.
This place is the real deal! Great beer on tap, amazing talent on stage and they will even teach you how to do the magic that they do! We are hooked and go to a show at least once a week!! Love this place!
Training with Jennie S. in her Improv class. What an amazing creative outlet! Wish more people knew about this phenomenal club in the Triad!
Has lots of potential. But its a crowded space, and the first 3 things I wanted to drink they were out of. I love that they are downtown, and the price seems right.
Went for the stand up comic open mic. Some were awesome, some were just good. Very much a fun night.
Great time.
I love the new location! I have a great time with every visit ! Thanks for giving the Triad Years of laughs!
First time here and I had a blast. I didnt know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Ill definitely be coming back.
So good to laugh love this place
Excellent show, great value for the entertainment. Strongly recommend going with a party or on a date.
Great place to practice and get the jitters out!
Great space in which to play trivia on Thursday, and very funny comedians.
So fun! I laughed through the entire show!
The event was nice, but it was definitely a no frills environment. Not sure what to have expected.
Great show. Friendly professional staff. Cool small space. Easy online reservations.
Great night of LOL funny! Improv rocks!!
Jennie Stencel and Steve Lesser have done it again! They have created a Premier Comedy Club that offers writing classes, improv classes, open mics, comedy showcases with local and national comics, and a friendly bar staff! I cant say enough good things about the Idiot Box! Go and get your laugh on!
Some of the sketches were not funny, and I spent 20. 00. It wasnt worth the door fee
One of THE best places to go in GREENSBORO NC yall!!! youre always welcome there!!!
Amazing homegrown comedy club. I highly recommend this place.
It is my new favorite spot in town and the vibe is perfect here!!!!!
So much fun. Awesome experience
Ive been to one improv night there and it was a lot of fun. The players were very up beat and entertaining. Its a good small venue too.
Spend your money elsewhere. The comics here are not funny, crack jokes without context, and the space is very cramped.Terrible experience at the idiot box. Went to the idiot box with high hopes, have been to the comedy zone multiple times and have had a great time. Saw the no nonsense show on Fridays and it was the worst comedy show I have ever been to. The jokes were absolutely terrible, lacked transition, it was just downright sad.I could understand if the show was 5 bucks but it was $10 per person for my party of five. I wasted $50.I am sure the comics are funny people and their jokes could have been funny, but they lacked context. I could imagine the jokes being funny in a small group of friends during conversation, but not doing stand up.
Small intimate comedy club. Eddie Ifft was awesomely funny. Great story teller
Didnt start on time, wasnt that impressed!
Comedy with local feels!
Love going here. Everyone is friendly. Comfy spot for intimate comedy experience. The heartbeat of comedy in the area.
Rang in the new years here seen some local comedians and talent was pretty cool
This place is the best place for stand up and improv! They do so much for the comedy scene
The improv show was a lot of fun. Great for a date night!
I went there with a friend for open mic night. Hit or miss with the comedians. Some were really funny and my friend and I actually had a good time. Then things got really uncomfortable when one of the local comedians (who started off hilarious) just went down a really dark path. He started talking about how he was sexually abused and raped as a child. Almost ruined everyones night to be honest. Still an experience I wont forget. Id recommend going at least once.
Enjoyed our time!
I love The Idiot Box! They have excellent standup comedians, fantastic Saturday improv shows, and outstanding classes for people interested in learning how to perform standup, sketch, and improv. The owners, Jennie and Steve, are amazing! Great location on the lower level of Geeksboro coffee house. Customers can grab coffee, alcoholic beverages, and snacks upstairs and then come down and laugh like crazy. Highly recommend.
Terrific spot for improv and stand up. The owners are wonderful people as well.
Hands down the best venue for local comedy and improv shows in Greensboro. Monday nights feature roast battles between local Comics Thursday night is an open mic for comedy that starts at 8:30 with minutes beginning at 8 generally Friday nights feature comedy showcases at 8:30 and sometimes 10 open mics Following the show or improv jams. Every Saturday the idiot box hosts three improv shows at 4 (kid friendly/clean) 8:30 and 10, the improv shows get progressively more racy and raunchy throughout the night.
I love this club and the people who run it. They care about the show and the business! Last Saturday was hilarious!
We LOVE the Idiot Box! It is a great place to go with friends or for a date night. Its different every time because it is audience based. This is a MUST DO in downtown Greensboro.
Excellent. Friendly staff. Classes are engaging and challenging and well worth it
Great stand up and improv comedy! Shows for families and more R rated stuff. Something for everyone.
Loved it! At first it was a little sketchy and uncomfortable but after a while I loved it. I surely will be going back there
We tried this place with no expectations...Thought it would be a funny to watch local comedians and to some extent it was, however there were several times I found myself wondering what the heck the comedians were doing...I did look around to see if it was just me, however I saw several of the same puzzling looks. Overall, we a good time.
Tonights comedian was hilarious, I was laughing so hard I started crying. Well done Eddie Ifft!
Great club and great people. The best place to see comedy in the Triad
Fun place!
Great fun place
Great vibe, fantastic spot.
Had a blast at an all ages show
I didnt particularly care for the language used during the comedy routines. As an older African American, I STILL, and always will, take offense of the use of the N word. I will not return.
Saw a great show there.
Friendly. Very.
Funny
Awesome! Funny fun times!
Great place, lovely staff, delicious food.
Awesome experience!
Great, creative atmosphere
Fun place to hang out and laugh
Super funny comedians!
A little different alternative to the comedy zone
The show was a lot of fun!
Great place!!!!
Awesome
Funny stuff
Funny!
During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy Idiot Box. I bombed.
Hidden gem of Greensboro
Have not experienced such an unusual Open Mic experience each performer only had 3 minutes and there were over 20 acts
Great stand up and improv comedy!
Hilarious! Had an absolute blast.
Great Entertainment!!!
