The best venue in LA, I can’t wait until I can go back. They have the best shows and options without compare

Loved it just valet only a 3 dollar difference from the parking structure nearby. The elevator did not work in the parking structure nearby. But overall the venue was nice and intimate. anywhere is pretty much a good seat. Pretty easy to find.

Cute, old theater with leather seats that push back to recline a little. Big enough for an intimate, little audience with whom the comedian can connect easily. Liked the charm of the place. No drink holders in seats of course, and mostly only popcorn for sale, and I dont think they have an alcohol license. Wed just eaten dinner so we didnt want anything but water, but others might. Show conveniently on at 9pm. I would suggest catching transport here as the surrounding area is dark, with a large homeless encampment down the street at the edge of the park.

I came here for a comedy show and was thoroughly impressed. There were 6-7 comics who did 15-20 minute sets. They were all fantastic and I was laughing harder than I ever have. After the stand up comics went, the headliners, the Lucas Brothers took the stage.The venue is the perfect size, not too large or small, with a very intimate feel. There isnt a bad seat in the house. Parking could be better. I lucked out and found a meter on a side street. I believe there is a nearby structure for a flat fee as well. They also have valet as an option.

A very nice and cozy so called hole in the wall type venue. It gives you a very cozy old school feel. They sell concessions such as drinks, popcorn, etc but NO alcohol. This wasnt an issue for us having drank before our comedy show but it certainly would have been nice to have. Overall it was greatly enjoyable night for the wife and I. Certainly recommend.

Teeny-tiny theatre in a not-so-great neighborhood. Theres public parking around the corner. Only one bathroom, so go before you attend any performances here. Quaint and well-loved.

This theater is lovely. They have some really cool shows regularly and always have interesting guests lined up. Soon theyll be able to serve liquor which is a huge plus. Im looking forward to coming back for multiple shows.

Intimate theater for live performances. Very relaxing and fun vibe. Looking forward to seeing more shows there.Its located adjacent to the super-sketchy MacArthur Park, so be sure to park in a well-lit place and hide valuables out of view from wandering junkies.Theres a 6-level parking garage around the corner that charges a $9 flat rate. Its probably your best option.

WHAT AN AWESOME VENUE!! Youd BARELY see the marquee as you drive by this place, as most LA gems are holes in the wall. Nothing screams intimate hideout like a hole in the wall, right..? WELL HERE IT IS. Bring a date & dont worry about having a flask in your back pocket. I recommend their stand-up comedy nights.Skateboard friendly

Saw Out-take-Orama with some of the cast of Futurama, and it was hilarious! The venue is intimate and helped make the night feel special and cozy! I would definitely love to come back to this venue.

Watched a live podcast there, Harmontown, and it was very nice. Even sitting quite far back we had a grwt view of the stage and it still felt intimate. They sell popcorn, soft drinks and coffee which is a nice touch.

The best part about this theater is the amazing staff. They have made my husband and I feel very welcome and taken care of every time we visit. Its like we found our Cheers with the Dynasty family. The shows they have are awesome and we do our best to come every month. Support local theatre like these guys and gals. They deserve it.

This was a really cool venue. Go early if you want to be at the front of the line. Tickets still out fast and they have really great performers (such as Marc Maron!!!). All the people who work there were nice and worked very quickly. Definitely a place to keep your eyes on.

Comedians were great! hip decor nice people. multiple stage lights flashing like strobes at the audience for the entire headliner performance. not addressed until comedian riffed on it for 5 minutes at he end of his show. I get that tech problems happen but it ruined the show for me.

Great place to see a show. Staff customer service is fantastic. They don’t (as of April 8 2019) serve alcohol but the concession stand attendant said that they are waiting for license approval.

Review №42

Great place for comedy, even though the seats can be uncomfortable, which is to be expected from the old theater seating. If anything, this adds to the overall charm and vibe. The popcorn can only be described as mouthwatering, tasty, flavorful, delectable, toothsome, piquant, scrumptious, scrummy, yummy, finger-licking good!

Im just here to confirm everyone elses glowing reviews.I popped into LA for a dazzling music concert, then hit up the Dynasty Typewriter to see a couple of my favorite acts. Somehow, the Dynasty Typewriter bested the concert as being a truly inviting and magical experience.To everyone working to make that theater what it is: Thank you!

This theater has a really cool vibe and they are hosting some of the best comedy shows in Los Angeles. There are frequently big names dropping in unannounced so you never know what kind of fun youre going to be in for. My favorite regular occurrence is Rob Lynchs Tomorrow Show on Saturday nights at midnight. Its always a hilarious collection of acts ringmastered by one of the best hosts ever to Grace a stage. Also- lots of puppet action at this venue! Cant beat that!
