things to know about our shows
Age Range: PG-13 (ish)
What to Expect
Our shows are unscripted, high-energy, and generally PG-13(ish). Because everything is created in the moment, the comedy is spontaneous and can occasionally get a little edgy—it’s all part of the fun of live improv.
Age Policy: Guests under 18 are welcome to join us but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Refunds: 24-hour notice for voucher
Can’t make it? No worries. While we don’t offer cash or credit card refunds, just email hello@kismetimprov.com and we’ll set you up with a voucher for a future show.
Late Arrivals & Sold-Out Shows
In the event of a sell-out, tickets may be released at showtime.
If you’re running late, please email hello@kismetimprov.com—it’s the fastest way to reach us.
Audience Participation: Optional!
Our shows are all about the fun, and if you're up for it, there are plenty of ways to join in—from shouting out suggestions to hopping on stage for an open jam. Participation is 100% optional; you'll never be forced to join in or put on the spot. At Kismet, we play with our audience, never at their expense. Every performer is dedicated to making sure you feel welcome and part of the magic.
Our Bar! Drinks + Snacks
Yes, we have a bar! It’s a cozy spot stocked with a rotating selection of local craft beers, wine, and canned cocktails. We take a lot of pride in what we stock, from our favorite local treats to a solid variety of non-alcoholic options like sodas and seltzers.
Whether you’re a regular with a "usual" or visiting for the first time, grab a drink and a snack—our bar opens 30 minutes before every show.
