I had a fantastic time at USS Improvise: The Next Generation: The Musical. As a huge Star Trek nerd, I found it hilarious and really capitalizing on true fans knowledge of subtle inside jokes. Im so glad to have discovered this and will definitely return if theyre playing again when Im in Portland next!

Drunk Herstory was absolutely amazing. Shandi Evans you and all the other lovely drag queens were stunning and hilarious tonight.

Just saw Pulp Fiction, The musical parody... brilliant, hilarious, and amazing. Wonderful casting, especially the actress who played Vincent Vega! The mind behind these parodies is brilliant, and I would recommend seeing any and every one of the shows this venue puts on. Absolutely fantastic!

I cannot say enough nice things about this wonderful place. Great performance art, charming venue, delightful drinks. Everyone who worked there was absolutely marvelous. My only note is to bring a little cushion for the chairs in general seating if you have back problems.

Such a fun place! Creative and well executed shows. Friendly staff to help and pour delicious drinks.

Fun low-key local place with indoor stage for comedy shows and great outdoor area for when the weather cooperates!

The style of the place is cool, kinda a circus theme and loved the clown room...for that alone I give it 2 stars and not 1. Staff at the time were not nice and very slow with service. And the place dont got much space so dont plan on having a bachelor party of 7 start there like I did. We filled the whole bar and felt unwanted by others and staff. Also very little to choose from when it came to drinks. For a place called the fun lounge it wasent very fun.

Enjoyed the Gateway comedy show in a booth; It was comfortable with a great view. Good laughs & drinks.4 stars because the show started quite a bit late.

Fun atmosphere. ok bar food. I loved the clown room so creepy. The shows they play had me laughing for days afterwords. Its a theaterhouse meets the circus a giggle for most teens, adults, and the cultured child keep inmind most of the shows are 21+ read the website before going in. Dinner theaters a great and a dying breed. have some cash on you to tip the performers at the end if you think they earned an extra buck.

This place is very small with extremely uncomfortable chairs. The entry lounge was pretty cute. The show I was attending started a half hour late and we had to wait outside. I probably wont be back.

Saw Die Hard: the musical. Brilliant.

Went to see Clue here. Ive seen a few shows here and they are so much fun! Sign up for the emails so you receive discount codes to go to more shows!

Great show! Great atmosphere! Fun people! A great nights entertainment!

Die Hard the musical was incredible. Seating was too tight for us. I would go back again, and reccomend programming from this venue.

The clown room will give u nightmares but u will be healed with laughter from a sensational late night parody musical or a themed holiday improv. The cast here is v talented.

Cheap, fun and chill atmosphere! Loved it

We saw USS improvise, the improvised Star Trek the Next Generation based Musical and it was hilarious and brilliant. There arent a lot of food options but the ones they have are pretty good... More like snack items really. Pizza slices, mac and cheese. The staff is friendly and the drinks are good.

Super cool, classy yet laid back cocktail bar in the heart of Portland, OR Financial District. Great mix of craft cocktails and live swing music this place has a little bit of everything. It was very crowded and the drinks were on the expensive side but it was definitely worth the visit. I especially loved the live swing/big band-style band playing on the main stage.Be prepared that there is definitely that after work drink vibe, lots of suits so dress nicely.

Claustrophobic when the house is full. They crammed in as many seats as they could so its a really uncomfortable place to catch a show. I get that theyre trying turn the best profit possible but I probably wont be back.

Pretty great place! Sound system could use a bit of work. But great people and environment :)

Good drinks nice staff service dog friendly

I just laugh always when Im here. Always a blast no matter what the show.

Check out this wonderful venue. Super fun.

Went here for Valentines Day weekend show complete with cabaret, drag, comedians and giveaways. They also have a free nacho bar. I paid for 2 VIP tickets which was supposed to include free glass of champagne/wine, raffle tickets and free murch. We got nothing. Only the people sitting right in front of the stage got the goods. If I had of known it was that unorganized I would of saved the extra money and got general admission tickets. The show was good and the host was funny but it didnt start on time and the waiting area was small and crammed. I would probably go back since I know what to expect now.

I go for every parody musical they have, ever since I saw Electric Dreams. I always know when I go there Im in for a great time. I dont live all that close or Id probably be there more often.

What a Funtastic ride it can be. Do not hesitate, just come to realize that the Fun house lounge is just simply a wild ride. Great drinks. Great service. Great Show. Take some friends because they will thank you for the memorable night out on the town.

Was easy to find, prices were reasonable and the entertainment was fantastic.

Loved domprov, havent laughed that hard in a while!

This place has some of the best shows Ive ever seen in Portland. Get their schedule immediately and pick some things to see! Why are you still reading this?

I love the Bubble Gum and Duct Tape Production group. Karate Kid The Musical and Back To The Future The Musical was fantastic! Die Hard The Musical Parody was great as well. Well be back for more shows.

Fantastic.l!! A poster child for keep Portland weird worth every penny.

Drunk Herstory

Always a good time. Not matter what is going on there. The bartender was professional and easily managed a large crowd. She is my hero.

Took the kids to see the clue show. Was absolutely hilarious. Kids had such a great time that theyre making me take them back tomorrow night. Staff, actors, everyone there was so friendly; and they even let my kids take a peek backstage after the show. Will definitely be supporting this venue in the future.

A wild evening with their presentation of Back to the Future, the musical!!! This funky little place is a great place to see such a crazy show or any one of their other events. Bar is small and gets pretty busy at intermission, but it is worth the wait. Help support this iconic venue & help KEEP PORTLAND WIERD!!!

Ive found my new place for laughs. I really didnt know what to expect my first time here but I am glad my wife dragged me here. We now go all the time to see the great shows. The people that run this place and are in the shows are hilarious. I will keep coming back for all the different shows and I highly recommend this place.

Had a great time at the Clue show. Bartender, sorry I forgot your name. Curly reddish hair was awesome. She also was the cook. Basic food menu for the show. Good drink prices. Overall a pretty affordable and fun night

My first time there at it was great. Reasonably priced show. Drinks and food were better priced than at a movie theater (the cheese pizza was good!). I sat in the “tall seats” and would do so again, the only seats better in my opinion are front row or the booths in the back (if you go with friends). I have some hearing difficulties and I could hear just fine. I would highly recommend this venue!

So fun! Lots of great shows! Full bar! Wish thru had better snacks! You will either love or hate the clown room, but its fun either way!

The Die Hard Musical is so fantastic! Dont miss it! These actors work so hard and it really pays off!! Great staff and fun atmosphere!!

Best comedy shows in town. They need more space though due to getting more popular. Not complaining though. Im glad theyre sticking around!

Great place with relaxed atmosphere. Becky with the Good Jokes was pretty fantastic! She gave prize bags with dollar store kid stuff in them for the best answers to interesting questions which was interactive and fun. Unfortunately, most of the comedians were distasteful and crude which was pretty disappointing, as we were told by the receptionist beforehand that the comedy was clean.

I go to Funhouse Lounge for the weekly Dragathon drag queen competition they host for part of the year. Staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly and the experience has been very positive. Drinks are great too! Ambience has a very quirky fun feel.

Came here to watch a show, and fell in love with this place. Its as dingy as a county fair, foods cheap, and shows are great. Unlike the county fair, the staff is really friendly.If you want something a little different, stop in here.

I fell in love with the Back to the Future musical parody... absolutely fantastic! Really impressive acting, VERY funny and creative. I cant wait to see more.

This is my portland comedy home. Funhouse is a cornerstone in the local live performance arena. Laura Beth is also the best bartender ever.

Great great show. Professional level entertainment. Dont miss this.

Awesome live performances. Improv, comedy, and musical theater!!! Plus a full bar. What?!?

Loved the USS Improvise. Four star trek geeks busted a gut to the funhouse show. We are already planning to come back.

Much bigger than expected from the view from the street. Nice. Great stage for many types of performances. Wish it stayed open later.

This is such a fun place!! Everyone here always puts on a stellar performance. If you havent seen a show here yet, I highly recommend it

Went to a comedy event at the lounge the comedian were great the event was well put on I would recommend attending any of Belinda Carrolls shows that you possibly can.

Maybe I went on a bad night because my experience was nothing like the other reviewers. I overall vibe of the place is great, but it was very disorganized and the staff seemed disgruntled. We waited at the bar for a bartender for over 15 minutes just to order a drink (there was literally no one working the bar with a line out the door), when some staff members did show up they snapped at me and other customers, and I ordered some Mac and cheese that took 45 minutes. And on top of it all the comedy show started nearly an hour late. I definitely won’t go back. Rated 2 stars instead of 1 because the decor and layout were good.

This is a very eclectic bar and performance venue. Its very unique in decor and helps Keep Portland Weird. Ive always found the staff to be very friendly and I have enjoyed several performances there. Its very small so you definitely have an up-close-and-personal experience with the performers.

Will try again, enjoyed the clown room was cool but full of extra tables and chairs as staff had warned us, but it was fun to check out all the wall art. Drinks where metered and served in large brackets with way too much mixer, will order more appropriately next time.

Staff needs to up their friendliness. Came in on a whim but had been meaning to check this place out for a while. We were made to feel unwelcome from the second we opened the door. By two different employees. I guess we were too early for the show which started at 7pm but the website says they open at 5pm so we thought we could just hang and get drinks for a bit. We were treated as a huge inconvenience and thats enough for us to not come back. Wish it was a better human experience because we were definitely in the mood for drinks and a good time. Total buzz kill...

Went to see Jessa Reed do comedy there. She was funny. The drinks were good. The Clown Room was fun. They seem to have a wide variety of entrainment. Theres a bingo bored on the wall and my friends told me theyve done karaoke there before. Small venue. Fun night.

Good atmosphere. Fun place. Went on open mic night and had a few good belly laughs. Drinks werent insanely pricey so that was also pretty nice.

Great spot for standup comedy!

I went to the Gateway show on Saturday. How Portland is this?? I was crying from laughing so hard. The host is a very funny comedian with super sharp improv skills. Great vibe all around and everyone there was super friendly and there for a good time. Can not wait to go back for more!

I have seen two shows here and they were both excellent. Die Hard the musical parody was amazing. Twisted, and Aladdin parody was, even better. Be warned however, the chairs are extremely uncomfortable and it can get very hot inside. If you can tolerate that, those shows here are well worth the price of admission.

Hilarious place with a room filled with clown artwork and very talented actors putting on wildly different shows several times a week.

This place is so funky, thus so Portland. It has a terrific circus theme w LOTS of clown portraits and artwork everywhere. Also a wonderful spot for improv/standup comedy.

Fun showplace and bar.

I love this joint. It’s so quirky!Reasonable drink prices, friendly bartenders and funny patrons.

Okay this is my happy place after dark. Come here, get a drink and laugh. Dont take life so seriously.

It is a super fun place to go, by yourself or with friends.

Die Hard: The Parody Musical was amazing! They will be performing it again at Christmas time this year. The entire run was sold out, so get your tickets early. I will be watching for the Back to the Future parody coming later this year.

I always have a great time here, they have so many performance events going on constantly. I most recently went to see the show Cabaret which was fantastic, and Im a regular for Dragathon Season 5 which is always an excellent fun time. Awesome performers, well-poured cocktails, I love the Funhouse decor, this has become one of my favorite spots in Portland.

The Gateway Show was a riot! Comedians do a set, spend the intermission getting stoned, then come back to try another set. The show was packed, and we laughed pretty hard at both halves of the show. The food at the venue was reasonably priced ($3-$4 for a slice of pizza, $5 for chips and queso), and they had a decent selection of booze. We had trouble getting in to begin with, however. The audience for the show prior to the one for which we arrived was trying to exit as the new patrons were arriving, resulting in packed, grumpy chaos. The whole smoking area in front of the venue reeked like marijuana from the time we arrived to the time we left, so I was surprised at the tense attitudes. But the staff, the show, the decor in the venue...all on point. Would love to take in another show here sometime.

This is not the pace for amazing foodand drinks; this is your spot for ambiance and wickedly funny shows. Die Hard: the Musical? You never knew what type holiday season was missing.

Went to a big party here last night. Its kind of cramped and has very limited restroom capacity.The decor is warm and inviting, but the stage is kind of a nuisance. It is too easy to trip over the part that juts out in the middle since it is the same color as the floor. Took a pretty embarrassing tumble because of that. Also, the ceiling over the stage isnt quit high enough for certain types of performances. Its nice and clean here though, which seems to be a challenge for a lot of Portland bars and clubs.The staff was excellent and smiley. It would probably be more fun under less crowded conditions.

Great spot for strange comedy and other off beat shows. Small venue though so space and tickets are limited.

Riveting entertainment by some of Portlands most creative talents! Radio Theater, Burlesque, Music and Comedy. Bar food is simple, service is prompt and friendly. Check out the clown room when youre sober. Its artwork is great fun!

This place is home for many performers. Ive been in the crowd for various shows and have been on stage for countless shows. I think the clown room is scary and freaks me out and I love it. I like the multiple bathrooms. I wish at times there were more bartenders but the drinks are very good. Space is usually good but the shows get packed really frequently. I went for a comedy night which was refreshing but I thought the tickets were a little too expensive for the show but I didn’t regret going.

Super fun and the productions are well,put together. The best of fringe theater and improv. Bartender is sweet and the lovely,lady at the door always makes me smile. By far one of my favorite places.

We saw Cabaret at this amazing venue and it blew us away! So much talent, intimate setting, and cleverly directed. Portland theater at its best!

Great lounge with carnival theme and small stage. Saw Portland idol there and enjoyed it. Great little entertainment bar.

Enjoy visiting every time! I Love domprov, its super funny! All the staff are welcoming and super kind.

Quirky little bar and stage with clown theme

I have really enjoyed every show that I have seen here. Drinks are good, and the food is alright too. They have pretty delicious mac and cheese!Dont venture into the clown room if you are afraid of them. You will be surrounded.

Loved this lounge my co worker and his friends had there performance there and it was amazing cozy little please inside and out

Cool and fun place to enjoy a show. I wish the front lounge was a little larger but this is a great place for drinks and a show.

If you werent afraid of clowns the clown room there will do it. The shows Ive seen are very hit and miss as well as the bartenders. A lot of them dont put much alcohol in the drink plus a lot of ice. Its a very small place and their operations need help. The bar line runs into the entrance line and the entrance line blocks half the room. After sometime they start having the line reaarrnge in order of presale, wait list, door its a frustrating mess.

Fun place. Saw the Scooby Doo Mystery performance. Very funny. Their drinks werent the best though. Margarita was good. Not very strong. Moscow mule was not very enjoyable, unfortunately, but they were very accommodating and switched out my drink with no problem!

Clowns? Check. Wizards? Check. Karaoke? Check. Hot bartender? Check. Creepy amateur comedians? Check. This place has it all. A friend and I came to Portland for the first time and were looking for a unique place to visit. We decided to try Funhouse as it seemed pretty interesting. We came in at the tail end of comedy open mic and then stayed for karaoke. Even though it was a Wednesday night and the place was a little empty, everyone there made the most of it and we had a total blast. We wanted to find all the weird that Portland has to offer and we found it at Funhouse.

Comedy theatre. Yay

Cheap local and classic dive beers with comedy and varieties shows in the back room

Quaint venue with a very friendly and helpful staff. Watched a musical here and was thoroughly entertained. Will definitely return!

Great comedy open mic at midnight Fridays, has several quiet side rooms where smaller groups can go to talk

We saw Die Hard, the musical, and it was hilarious!! Very talented troupe here. Small venue and decent bar with a lot of employees with heart.

Bar tenders are very friendly and nice. Drinks were a good price. The comedy show was decent.

Saw the gateway show here and it was amazing! Super funny and had a good variety of comedians. This place has a turf patio with tables outside and lots of seating inside as well as a bar in the center of the building that is open on both sides.

Cool little place! A little run down, but I think it adds to the kitchiness! Staff is great too! Very laid back atmosphere also.

The Funhouse Lounge hosts a variety of fun events and the staff is always fantastic! I highly recommend checking this place out.

Its an okay venue for a live show. They seem to do a lot of burlesque here, much of which is good. Food is so-so, and drinks are okay. Feels slightly over-priced for the type of dive bar it is.

Perfect atmosphere and music choices for a 33 year old who isnt into the Portland hipster vibe.

Lots of fun! Great environment! Get there early for performances, seating fills up fast and sight is not good when youre far back!

Best place EVER!!! Great fun! Best shows! Wonderful people! Had a blast! Go clown room!!

The shows are very funny, and the actors are very talented. my only complaint is I have been there three times and I swear the woman with the curly hair makes THE MOST DISGUSTING MIXED DRINKS IN ALL OF PORTLAND! You cannot even drink them thry ste so sweet and flavorless. How is this really happening. they are that bad. never again.
