About

Since 1963, the Improvisation Comedy Clubs have remained the premier stages for live comedy in the United States. Over the decades, the talent who have graced Improv stages represent the Who’s Who in American comedy.

San Jose Improv hosted its first comedy show in November 2002. Located in the heart of “Silicon Valley,” the venue delivers a mix of A-list comedy, food and cocktails. The club regularly hosts top tier comedians such as Felipe Esparza, Bobby Lee and Norm Macdonald.

San Jose Improv calls the historic “Jose Theatre” home. Originally constructed in 1904, the theater is a turn-of-the-century time capsule featuring a marble and gold leaf lobby, adorned with a curated collection of art telling the stories of the Improv Comedy Clubs and The Jose Theatre. Step into the showroom to find perfect relics of a bygone era-- ornamental plaster details, stamped tin ceiling tiles, and two-stories-tall red velvet curtains flanking the iconic brick wall.

In the early 1900s, the theatre featured vaudeville acts and silent films with orchestral accompaniment. Some locals may recall hanging out at The Jose all afternoon, watching kung fu double feature films for under a dollar. For over one hundred years, The Jose Theatre has survived fires, earthquakes, and the sands of time. As home to the iconic Improv brand, the venue is renewed and will continue bringing best-in-class entertainment to audiences for decades to come.

@ianbagg you are one of a kind! Thank you for remembering us on your Christmas Card list this year. It made our day. 🎄
Happy holidays from all of us at The San Jose Improv 🎄
We haven’t heard the roar of laughter fill our showroom since March 11th, but somehow, we still have a lot to be thankful for. We are thankful to the local comedians who are still perfecting their craft by any means available. We can’t wait to hear you perform your new material in our clubs. We are thankful for the diehard fans of comedy who are attending drive-ins, Zoom shows and outdoor shows. You fill us with hope for a brighter year ahead. We are thankful for the friends who have shared heartfelt moments with us. What was just a DM or phone call to them meant everything to us. We are thankful for the opportunity to nourish our community again; albeit with food instead of laughter. The outpouring of support has humbled and encouraged us in ways that we can’t express. It has been a dark year, but these moments of connection have been a bright light. We are so grateful this year, for you.
Sending our love, prayers and lots of healing energy to our good friend @sinbadbad ❤️ We want to wish you a speedy recovery and our thoughts are with you and your family at this time Love from all of us at the Improv and Levity Live #sinbad
