Our Signature Show, Saturday & Sunday 3pm Off Broadway, Times Square NYC.

New York Improv Theater presents an interactive musical comedy show, with skits and songs improvised based on audience suggestions and participation. The all paid professional cast plays weekly in Times Square NYC, hosts private groups at our Manhattan theater and tours theaters, clubs, schools and events including 7000+ audiences nationwide since 2002. This show is comparable to a PG13 comedy (smart adult humor, wo the raunchy content, but edgy, fast paced energy), and considered corporate, college campus and even, for most, family friendly. Tickets $25. No additional purchase required. Food and beverage served. Close to Times Square and Columbus circle trains, we are just one block from the Colbert stage door. Parking garage across street, but weekends and evenings one usually finds spots on the street.
