Magnet offers a variety of comedy shows everyday of the week. The shows are consistently recommended by critics, tourists, locals, comedy snobs, and people looking for a great cheap date. Beer and wine are also available. The theater features talented and experienced (and exceptionally funny) improvisers doing some of the best comedy you'll see anywhere. The schedule is loaded with shows ranging from long form improv, musical improv, duos, scripted sketch comedy, storytelling, free jams open to anyone, and one-offs featuring special guest stars. Plus, free student performances take place all weekend at the Training Center Studio. We also provide some of the finest instruction in Improv, Sketch Writing and Storytelling. Group and corporate training is also available via the Magnet Genius Machine, and our phenomenal improvisors are also available to do private shows (we can travel to your city/country!)
