Went on a Monday for open mic one out of every 5 was funny but most people left around 9:30 also no free pizza this time. Still not bad for a free comedy night.

We hit this place on a whim after deciding 30 minutes earlier that comedy would be a good way to kick off Saturday night. I was able to easily check out the evening's lineup and buy tickets to The Chris Miller Show on my phone within a few minutes, +1 star for a well-designed mobile site. But I digress, on to the good stuff - Would definitely recommend The Chris Miller Show, the dude is funny as hell and he put together a solid lineup of other comics, some with Comedy Central cred. There were more than a few laugh till it hurt moments and some strange, what I would call 'experimental' comedy (dude read a modified adult version of Green Eggs and Ham called 'Cocaine and Heroin' with visual effects). The rest of the talent was more hit or miss for me but so it goes with comedy. The venue is small which I liked. The drinks were strong and inexpensive.

Small intimate venue for improv comedy. They played modest mouse music during intervention which I thought was cool. I came to see the Hit and Run Musical improv show. I thought that the cast were amazingly talented. Improv is already tough in my opinion but musical improv? I give them my respect for their mastery of singing while being funny all on the spot. The theme that the cast performed was "in jail without bail" which was suggested by an audience member. The other suggestion that someone made was thanks uncle harry but the audience voted on "in jail without bail." The story was about a son who committed a crime long ago but was let loose by his judge father. The cold case got pulled up in the record when two police officers decided that they wanted more respect by solving an unsolved case. What's cool about this place is that your ticket gets you into the next show as well. I also got to see a bit of the previous show which was titled Julius Caesar Salad. I got my tickets at a discounted price on Gold Star.

I visited Voodoo Comedy Playhouse for a Friday night improv and what a show it was! I came for the improv musical and was amazed by how quick witted, funny, and professional it was. It is a real talent to make up such a long musical from scratch. Great job! Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to come again.

I really like this place. Warning, if you are expecting more of a Comedy Works type of place, turn around. This place offers a great alternative to that. Tickets are very inexpensive and usually after purchasing a ticket you get a drink ticket. There are NO drink minimums, which is AWESOME. Some shows are hit or miss...but that's improve for you. You cannot go wrong with their one hour LMAO Standup Showcase. Also, if you buy a ticket that gets you into the other shows that night. Street parking, but hey...that's downtown. If you need a break from the comedy section, they have seating at their bar, which is very much the neighborhood dive that often goes overlooked. The staff is all friendly, can't say enough positive things about this place!
(5)Joshua D.
This place wasn't what I expected at all. It's pretty run down. We saw the LMAO show and although some of the comedians were funny, some were just awful. One guy was so drunk/high he couldn't even remember his routine. He was spilling his drink everywhere and eventually got cut short. The seating area was pretty small, which I guess is good and bad. Some of the comedy was pretty edgy, which I didn't really care about, but some people might. With all the comedy clubs in Denver, this can't be the best one. I wouldn't go back.

I'll say off the bat that I am not a karaoke person, however, I am going to try to acknowledge this from the POV of my friends who *are* karaoke people. Ok. We decided to check out the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse this weekend for a girls night out. We showed up for the "Distort Report" improv show at 10, and stayed for the karaoke that starts at 11 until 2 am. Signage around the place was adequate to ensure we weren't parked in the wrong spot, that we were at the right spot, and so on. We walked in, got checked in (some of us had to buy tickets, some of us already had purchased ahead) and headed to our seats. The show started right at 10, which means we didn't get a chance to get a drink, and the doors were closed for the show, with no table service. The "Distort Report" was an improv show pulled from local headlines. The show starts off with a brief intro of the cast, the concept, and a plug for their improv classes, then things got started. The improv was not the best I've ever seen, and while there were some funny lines, it was not top notch humor. If you're used to places like Second City, or acts like Upright Citizens Brigade, these guys were a few notches down from that. They need a little work, and a little more cohesiveness. The transition between participants left a bit to be desired in the "Tap out" method - story lines didn't flow well, and the work was just a little weak. The evening wasn't very busy (only 7 audience members) which may have been part of the problem. However, it was only $5, so no one really felt ripped off, just "meh" about the improv portion of the night. After the 1 hour improv show, the room changed over to a karaoke room. There are 5 tables with 7-8 chairs at each one, and a small stage with monitors placed around the room. The Emcee for the evening was excellent, and did a great job keeping the crowd circulating through the playlist. It wasn't terribly busy (maxed out at 20 or so people) with only 12 or so actively singing, so anyone who wanted to sing got a chance. However, some of the improv actors and bar staff appeared to think of it as a time to goof off, and perform terribly bad karaoke. It made it a little disappointing for those who actually wanted to get up, to sing well, and to enjoy it. I'm not saying that a bad performance isn't appreciated, but at a certain point, hamming it up just becomes screwing around with an in-joke with a few of your friends, leaving the rest of the crowd feeling like they're interrupting something. However, we were able to perform enough times that it kept us there till closing time. I cannot comment on prices at the bar, because I had only one drink, and someone else paid for it. However, the bartender apparently needed some assistance looking up the recipe for my terribly complicated vodka gimlet (vodka + rose's lime). They were serving Moscow mules, complete with tin cup, though, so....YMMV. Overall, it's a 3 out of 5. I wasn't blown away, but I wasn't completely offended. My friends got to sing a bunch, and I enjoyed seeing them enjoying themselves. The place is a little dive-y, but it's also not obnoxiously crowded, so if you want to sing, you'll get a chance. about 80% of the performers were actually quite talented, so it wasn't the most god-awful experience of karaoke ever. The improv needed work, but the price was fine. 1. Customer service was excellent. Quick response to email questions, and speedy check in at the door. Brief explanation of what to expect, and when one of the staff/performers spilled his beer on my friends, he bought them each a drink. 2. The place isn't much in terms of a bar/scene. Black box theater, small stage, chalkboard covered tables, and popcorn machine. It is bare bones, but it's cheap. 3. It felt safe enough. There wasn't any sort of rough element that made a group of girls a sitting target for inappropriate behavior. 4. A few of the staff/performers were obnoxious, but they probably think of it as "their" place - a vibe that's understandable, but can rub paying customers the wrong way. 5. The karaoke DJ was fantastic, and did a great job keeping the crowd energized, including some of his own performances in the lineup. And he did well at them. So...bottom line: Go, with low expectations.

Awesome place if you enjoy improv comedy performed by people who love what they are doing. All the performers and employees have great attitudes and you can tell that they want you to have the best experience possible. I really enjoy the ke-mo-sah-bee show, it's a competition between teams that the audience gets to vote for the winner at the end of the show and then all the teams do a scene together. Another plus is that unlike their main competitor (the bovine theatre) the voodoo has a full bar. The vibe is totally layed back and friendly.

This place was tiny- so tiny that you have to walk through the audience during a live performance to get to the bathroom... It is so awkward interrupting the audience and I'm sure the audience did not like it either. There was a battle between champions and new challengers. They gave us pieces of paper to vote in the very beginning- as an audience member, I'd prefer to receive the paper at the end so I don't have to hold on to it during the whole show. I've been to a ton of improv shows and this did not compete. There were some funny parts here and there but none that made me rofl. However, because it was only $5 per person for an hour of mediocre entertainment, it gets 3 stars.
(3)Tarena Z.
This place has the kind of downtown, funky, cool and VERY WELCOMING vibe I love for a comedy club. We were welcomed by an ADORABLE lady who was actually in the 10 pm. Happy Hour show. She was funny, sweet and even grabbed us a treat that we were drooling over from the green room.....shhhhh. There is no attitude here, just a group of creative people that like to have fun. I would absolutely go here again.

Okay, this review is coming to you from over a year and a half ago after actually seeing the show, so forgive me if my details are hazy. I believe that a friend of a friend acquired our tickets online with a discount which came out to ten or twenty dollars. There's meter street parking and we paid for three hours. My friend was already buzzed when we got there around 8pm (don't worry, someone else drove), but since I had just turned 21, he bought me my first alcoholic drink, which turned out to be a Long Island Iced Tea. Now, I lied slightly when I said it was my first drink because I had had a few Malibu 8oz cans on my 21st and a shot of something else I can't remember, but hey, alcohol isn't my thing, so I urged him not to waste his money. But he did and from the first sip, I knew that there was no way I was getting through a 24oz glass of this stuff (the bartender had absolutely packed on the alcohol, so you couldn't even taste the Coke). I sipped it throughout the show, but in the end, my buzzed friend had to down it for me and suffered a severe hangover for it but I warned him... Anyway, to the show. I was naive and had no idea what a burlesque show even was, so here I am, wondering what I'm going to see when "Oh, Yeah" comes up on the speakers and I see a woman dancing around the stage, slowly fighting to take her clothes off and I think--, "Oh, lord." Yep, this was actually happening. I had a very PG-rated mind. I mean, I'm talking extra virgin olive oil, so to see this, it was a bit of a shock, but once I got into the groove of things, I was able to enjoy myself as around five gals came out to different 80s music (it was a theme night) and did their thing. At break, a rather raunchy comedian came out and since I was lucky enough to be sitting front row, dead center, I was the prime victim, but it was all in good fun. The second round of ladies came out and at the end, they all joined together to dance to the more modern, "Sexy and I Know It". Afterwards, they had karaoke, which was my cue to leave. Overall, I think that if I were to come back, I would enjoy it more since now I know what to expect, though the combination of alcohol and shock were big factors made the experience a bit adult, but you've gotta grow up sometime. I don't know the lady's name who ran the show, but she was an absolute sweetheart and helped me get over some of that shock when I told her I had no idea what to expect.

I do a little improv at home, and when on the road I thought it would be fun to see a show. They had a day when all their students performed and a lot of them were really good. I had to buy a ticket, but the good thing was there was no drink minimum like most places by me. If you know anything about improv, they perform Long Form. Which is improv for improvisers. People that have experience in improv like to see the long form. Most general audiences like a short for "Whose line is it anyways..." kinda thing. But they kept me entertained throughout the night.

If you keep your expectations low, then you'll be in for a treat. This little comedy club is blocks away from the rescue center, so it is a little shady in this part of the town. However, after we were able to find some street parking we went in. The stage area is small, but it was fine because you can pretty much get a good view anywhere you sit. They have a bar to order drinks. Sometimes after the shows, there is karaoke, which can be fun.

I really don't want to write this. But I must. I may. I will. I am. This place was not fun. I laughed, a little, very little. We went to Modern Dating: Unscripted! 3 Blind Dates. I was hoping. Really hoping. For a roll on the floor kind of laugh attack. It wasn't. And it wasn't just the show. It was the venue. Good part? Getting a beer at Happy Hour across the street at the Whiskey Bar before the show. Then the show... People walking in front of us to go to the restroom. Oh, the restroom is down the hall and around the corner near Biker Jim's. Now the best part. Biker Jim's is around the corner. After the show, they offered free admission to the next show...but after the paying people sat down. I wasn't waiting... Especially for a seat watching people traipse to and from the restroom. Next time...a beer at Whiskey Bar and a laugh watching the silly patrons. Then a beer and dog at Biker Jim's.

Always have a great time watching long form improv. Seems like they've been doing in a while because the misses are a lot less than the hits! These groups really do a good job of taking audience and have a good time with it.

I love this little theater in the Ballpark Neighborhood. They have all kinds of shows here. While they tend to be Improv focused, they have Burlesque, Stand Up, Comedy Classes, Karaoke and more. We have always had a great time at the shows here. When you buy a ticket for one show of the night, you can stay and watch all the shows afterwards (assuming they haven't sold out). Ticket prices here are very inexpensive, so it's a great night out on the cheap. They have very reasonable rates for buying out an entire show. We bought out one Saturday night show for our MeetInDenver Holiday Party for under $200 (theater holds 80 people), then stayed for Karaoke afterwards. It was a fantastic event. They have a full-bar, but do not serve food here, so we brought in dessert trays for our event. Because this is in the Ballpark Neighborhood, there are lots of inexpensive parking lots nearby ($1-5) and street parking, on non-Rockies Game nights. Whiskey Bar is right across the street and The Lobby is right around the corner for pre-show cocktails and food.

Voodoo is probably my favorite improv theater in Denver with the coolest vibe and atmosphere. It is very laid back, you have the bar upfront serving a variety of bottled beers and drinks, and the theater on the back. Once you pay for your ticket, you can see various shows, spend time in the bar, and there are no minimum drinks requirements or fixed seating. After the shows, you can stay for more drinks or kareoke. I've seen various shows and they've all been hillarious, and I love that is located in the Ballpark neighborhood

this is one of the saddest places I have been in Denver over the last 2 years. A group of five of us bought tickets to their new years eve party expecting tons of crazy festivities. We walked out after 15 minutes because what we found were senior citizen burlesque dancers, no comedy on stage, a tiny space to walk around in and not because it was crowded, and 1 bartender trying to serve a line of 30 to 40 people. Oh and half the bar was already sold out by 930. We ended up going to Beauty Bar and having a totally fabulous time.

I will admit I was a bit leery about going to a small comedy venue, but we had a blast watching the LMAO show. Derek, at the door, made us immediately feel welcome, he even said hello again after the show, ensuring we had enjoyed the evening. The comics were funny and professional. The staff was friendly and personable. I am glad that that we stayed for the magic show, that show was a riot. Drinks were tasty and the bartender was quick. We can't wait to come back again.
(5)Jeffrey G.
Best $10 of entertainment you can buy in Denver. Period. One price gets you in all night, and the quality of the shows compares to any club in the region. Highly recommended.
(5)Christina N.
We went on a Saturday night and had a blast. It's cheap, funny, and walking distance to a few other cool spots (which makes it a great way to start the night). They had a decent selection of bottled craft beer for about $4-5 a bottle. We saw 4 shows. Makeshift Shakespeare and Hit & Run were the funniest, but we had a lot of good laughs at all 4 shows. For how cheap the tickets are, it makes for a fun night that is a little different - great for those days when just sitting at a bar with friends drinking won't cut it. We would definitely go back again.

Went a few weeks ago with a group. Very dissapointed. Paid like $6 for a Jack and Coke and not sure what happened with Jack... A friend got a specialty drink and thankfully, she got alcohol in it. Seating in this place is terrible. They pack you in like a sardine and there is no place to put your drink. Seats don't even have arms. The seating layout is really terrible. It isn 't stadium or graduated in any way. The stage is like 2' off the floor. So even at 6' 1", I couldn't see the actors when they were seated. So unless you are in the first three rows, good luck!!! They allow late comers to join at any time. Even 1/2 an hour into a performance. The performance itself was okay. The actors really put effort into it. It was not enough to make up for the horrid layout. Really, this is just a money-maker for the owner. I'd stay at home nex time....
(2)Michele V.
You'll laugh until you cry... this place is great fun, very affordable (both admission and drinks) and the staff is super friendly.
(5)Tres B.
What a great place to have in the neighborhood. The lower Larmier is getting better and better, and here is testimony to that trend. An inexpensive fun stop for some spooky, campy theater! Immundo Burlesque is sexy and hilarious
(5)Joseph B.
Had a great time at this quaint comedy theatre just blocks from Coors Field. Went on a Friday night and wasn't disappointed with the funny improve shows given by the talented comedians. The shows last about 45 minutes and there were different themes for the shows. The drinks were reasonably priced and the staff is friendly and helpful. The bar area has some cool things to look at while chatting with the comedians who like to hang out and grab a drink with the patrons. Great show and good date spot.
(4)Andie S.
2.5 stars? I just can't say it's A-Ok based on the show I saw. I went with a friend for their standup show on Saturday night. We saw about seven comics, left before the eighth was on stage. Out of the seven comics we saw only two that were truly funny. The rest of the comics were just full of shock humor and weird topics (smoking pot of course, farting, midgets, being in jail, cancer patients...). If there was an intermission in the show, we would have left before it. I just can't believe these are the comics you put on your Saturday night docket. The drinks were very cheap, so that was a plus, and the staff was very courteous and helpful. We were informed upon leaving, that if we wanted to stick around and stay for the improv battle that starts at 10pm, we could. There were quite a bit of people waiting for this show to start, so maybe it's better than their standup comedians? We just were kind of done grimacing and didn't wait to find out. If I know of a certain comedian or a show that's gotten a lot of positive response, I would come back but not till then...
(2)Max S.
This place is awesome. Denver has a lot of improv talent for a smaller city, but never really had a club-style venue. Voodoo does what it does right, and it seems to be getting better each time I go. Last time I was here it was packed on a Monday night, so it wasn't even the cheap drinks that were getting people into the seats.
(5)Ann-Marie D.
Wonderful comedy and great drink specials! Check it out.
(5)Josh D.
Not as funny as I expected. But it was a small little place to kill some time while we waited for our dinner reservations. Beers were expensive.
(3)Sassy C.
This is the best place to go for cheap, live, GREAT entertainment. I've been in Denver for 10 years and there isn't anywhere else that you can go almost any day of the week for high quality comedy that is CHEAPER THAN A MOVIE! Support local art and your funny bone and go check them out!
(5)Jason W.
DO YOU LOVE JIM BELUSHI?. $18 dollars for a reality show style format where the impovisers are hacky and begging not to be voted off? A Whose Line Is It Anyways ripoff where you pine for Drew Carey jokes? I never want to pine for Drew Carey. NO THANKS. I was completely done with Denver improv shows.BUT THE VOODOO IS DIFFERENT. That place is more about great comedy and less about creating shows based on current trends. I've seen 40 minute two man shows that I wish would have lasted longer, huge house teams that worked together flawlessly, and just damn beautiful improv performed there. There is nothing else like it. Escape the bar scene and come in for a drink and a show. The staff is lovely and the place has a relaxed cool vibe.
(5)Elizabeth F.
A nice, cozy venue in which to laugh your ass off--and it's pretty much guaranteed you will. Insanely good deals on drinks and tickets ($8 for all three shows of the night?? What??), and shows happen most nights of the week. I loove you Voodoo!
(5)Jason K.
Best comedy theater in Denver!!! Hands down. Just go and see for yourself... Not one bad show plus a full bar! If you like Karaoke they have that too! Like I said, just go... you'll thank me later ;)
(5)Courtney P.
A great time and a great deal! I like that one ticket can get you in for the whole night and the full bar makes it an even better night.
