Its never a bad day when you end up at Westside Improv. Still the Brest Improv youll find in Wheaton...on Front Street. Seriously though, the Improv teams playing here are of elite status. The atmosphere here is infectious. Everyone is so passionate about their craft. Jeff and his crew have plenty to be proud of in the space theyve created.Theyll also teach you Improv. Dont be afraid, its mostly painless.

I absolutely love this theater. This beats any trip down into the city for a short trip of funny and original improv. They have shows every Friday and Saturday night for only $8.00. They are also the only improv studio in Wheaton which is BYOB.

Westside Improv Studio has changed my life and can certainly do the same for you. If, by some chance, you dont need a life-changing experience then it can certainly improve your day by attending a show on Friday and/or Saturday night. There are so many fantastic teams to see and the best thing is that you will NEVER see the same show twice. Take that, network reruns.My new friends and I just finished our Level 1 Improv class with great fanfare...maybe that was just the dream I had last night. I recommend this class to everyone. EVERYone. Jeff is a tremendous teacher/guide. He took a group of rag-tag adventurers and made us into confident performers looking to get even better. If Improv sounds intimidating to you, Jeff will put you at ease in the first 15 minutes of your class. Do this, you Will not regret it.Come to Westside and say hello.

Love this place! My husband and I enjoy the city for shows, but its so nice to mix it up with this local place and frankly, weve been to shows here that have been better than some of the ones weve seen in the city! Stay awesome West Side!

Want a good belly laugh? Head to Westside Improv. You wont be disappointed. Amazing performances by seasoned and rookie actors/comedians.

It is a small & intimate place which is okay. However, my concern was that there was only one Entry & Exit. They were one & the same which could be a problem in the event of an emergency. The staff was nice!

A wonderful venue for a great, fun night out. Amazing improv teams ensure youll keep laughing even after you leave. I can not wait to get back.A wide range of Improv classes are available as well. Only half way through my intro class and already looking forward to the next level.

Westside Improv is the best. Grab a six pack and come out for a show. Youll have a GREAT time. This place has an amazingly positive vibe, and its a lot more family friendly than improv studios in the city.Also an OUTSTANDING place to take a class. Owner Jeff Ash teaches the introductory 8-week class with charm, wisdom, and tremendous encouragement. Taking that class was one of the best decisions I ever made, and all my classmates would agree.Do yourself a favor and check out Westside Improv!

Different experience every single time I attend but they all have been enjoyable. No two shows are the same.

Such a fun and inexpensive night out! For $10 a ticket and BYOB the price cant be beat. Id highly suggest buying tickets ahead of time online because it is a small space and tends to sell out (or becomes standing room only). Bring your own cups or bottle opener too, if necessary.Student groups are often sandwiched between more polished professional groups. Suggestions are welcome to start a scene, but audience members are rarely brought on stage--youre there for the laughs, not to be the center of attention. Whew!A fun, inexpensive, unique night out out!

Very funny, well run, just long enough. We will be back.

Hilarious acts in an intimate environment. We went to see our friend perform and loved the show.

The kid improv classes are great!! Our son is loving it.

Awesome. A hidden gem in Wheaton. You must go to the shows on Friday and Saturday nights. BYOB.

I signed up for Improv class to find some levity following a heavy/emotional job working with Human Trafficking Survivors. I not only found laughter, but also connection with myself and others that easily gets robbed from us in this tech-crazed society. Week after week we played and I was challenged to drop from my head to my heart in order to lead from that place of freedom (as children so readily do). I find this to be extremely difficult after becoming a mom with a multitude of responsibilities, plans, incessant repetitive questions, activities and more. Improv was a refreshing break to pause, live in the present and to merely show up. Sounds simple. It is and it isnt. The practice of presence in class helped to bring it out into the real world. You learn to show up with no expectations/judgements upon yourself and others. From there laughter arises and refreshes us as we engage with the absurdity of life. Jeff is an unbelievably gracious and compassionate leader! He gently held all of my doubts/insecurities and handed them back to me (without pressure) and with an encouraging belief that I could rise above and beyond all of those heady lies. When I did, courage bubbled up and awakened a part of me that has been asleep for way too long. If I didnt know any better, Id say Jeff is a therapist using Improv as a disguise! ;-) Saying YES, AND..... to this class will make you a better mom, daughter, wife, friend and person. Go for it!

The hidden gem of the west suburbs! Teachers on par with the best of The Second City and iO in Chicago. Everyone from the top down is so welcoming to newcomers. Wonderful shows for a reasonable price: $10 Friday and Saturday nights. Totally floored after making this discovery—only regret is, I wish I had gone sooner!

I took the intro Improv class last year--tons of fun. The instructor, Jeff Ash (who shamelessly wrote a 5-star Google review of this place--because hes funny!), is truly amazing. He will make any beginner feel comfortable and make Improv accessible. You will love it! The weekend shows are also a lot of fun, and the venue is electrifying. Its a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night in downtown Wheaton.

Our whole family enjoyed it.

Very good experience here! The first act or two are newer students honing their craft and at times more awkward than funny. By the time you get to the last act (who come before who I assume are the two owners/teachers/leads), you are hysterically laughing! Excellent value for the dollar ($10 tix) and BYOB is great. I will be back here again. They give the right vibe as you head into the basement and get seated. They completely sold out the place and it was a great improv atmosphere. A little surprised they did not query the audience more for input tell me an adjective that...

Something different to do. A fun show.

Fantastic show tonight. Super funny!

Jeff provided professional development to our team and the experience was great! We walked away feeling energized, and with a renewed spirit that carried throughout the beginning of our busy school year. Thank you, Jeff, for working with our teachers and helping us implement our social-emotional learning goals!

Great date night experience for my bride and I, and only $20! Everyone was friendly and inviting, well be going back real soon! My ratting is

Attended ladies night....total blast! Will definitely go back. BYOB. Small venue, would suggest buying tickets online.

Wonderful space in downtown Wheaton with thrice weekly shows. Jeff and his team of impressive teachers also offer multiple levels of improv classes for any skill level, from first-time beginners to advanced. Bring a date, a group, or enjoy solo!!

I just find taking the intro to improv class yesterday and will have our big performance on Friday. It was such a remarkable experience. Im able to apply so much of what Jeff taught us in my business as well as my personal life. I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn something different improv comedy is such a great way to start. If your not ready to take the class right now, then come out during the wknd and catch a show and enjoy a good laugh plus you can byob. I absolutely love this place

My wife and I had a blast, have not seen her laugh so much, we have done many comedy shows. BYOB is a plus, they do not mention it in thier website, I found out from other reviewers.I searched for something new and interesting in the Naperville / Wheaton area, this did not show up in the typical searches, glad I found it, it is a hidden gem.

This place is a gem in downtown Wheaton. Great place for a date night.Also, if youre considering at all taking the 8 week intro to improv class, JUST DO IT. Having just completed it, it was an amazing experience. Jeff is an excellent, thoughtful, and encouraging instructor who knows how to get the best out of you. I wish I could give it 10 stars.

Very nice gathering of fun and comedy

Better than most comedy clubs in Chicago!! A must see

The shows are a lot of fun, and it’s byob which is always exciting! I’ve also taken classes here and they have all been excellent.

Very funny improv. Dont have to go into the city.

So much fun. The ensembles we saw were smart, funny, and playful. A great night of live comedy!

Great improv, just go, well worth it. Plus... Theyre a school so you can actually take classes.

First time. GREAT ATMOSPHERE! They know how to play with the crowd! Definitely worth your time and money! Get there early! FUNNY!!

Very intimate setting. Like all improv its hit and miss, but they tend to hit more often. Definitely go with a group of peeps, it adds to the ambiance! BYOB

Awesome show! Great time. Go with a bunch of friends and have a good laugh!

Good to see the energy is still there

Great performances and a great audience! Highly recommend for an evening of laughs.

Get there early because tickets sell out - good places nearby to grab a bite to eat before or after the show.

Cool little hidden gem in Wheaton. Fun and Funny!

Good way to spend the evening. Some groups were funnier than others, but I look forward to going back.

A blast! BYOB and teen friendly! A+

Great live entertainment. Unbeatable value. Classes available as well.
