It's a very intimate (and small) space and serves beer, wine and soda. Yes, it's a little unconventional but that's what makes it fun (and cheaper than other shows). Our seats are transportable cushioned chairs and sometimes we have to pull out folding chairs when people are begging to see us. The fire marshall lets us have up to 110 people in the space. Since the mall does not provide outdoor signage it could be tricky to find us. The mall anchor is Bass Pro Shop and Uptown is on that end of the mall. For the quickest path to the theater, guests should park at the back of the mall between Bass Pro Shop and Carmike Cinema. Hungry? There are several restaurants at the mall where you can eat before visiting us. « less

“Don't miss it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 via mobile

My boyfriend and I attended the Friday show and found it to be absolutely charming. The hostess and actors were very real and engaging. It felt like a night out with friends. Just so welcoming in every way. And funny! I don't know that people are appreciating the difficulty of improv. Seriously! Please give them a try... You cannot go... More

Thanks for choosing us for you entertainment option and for appreciating how different improv comedy. As always our shows are only as good as our audience participation and personalities. So, that must mean you and your boyfriend are super fun and awesome! Hope to make you laugh again! More

“Awesome Fun!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2013

What a lively group of people/actors! Yes, it is a small, intimate place but I think that makes it even more fun. We went on Sat. April 27; Our group (audience) was really small - maybe only 20 people so we really got to know each other. A friend and I came to Myrtle Beach just to get away for... More

“GREAT night out!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

My fiance' and I attended the April 24th show that "flightnurse1" wrote a review about and we had a great time! It was our first time at Carolina Improv and we thought it was just the right length for just the right price! We laughed all evening and walked away with a schedule in hand, planning our next date night... More

April, thank you for your review and for being an example of subjective comedy preferences. Obviously what you liked and what "flightnurse1" liked were very different. We can't please everyone but are delighted we pleased you ... even if you had to sweat a little through the laughter. Hope to see you again soon! More

“A "local" evening but not a Myrtle Beach show”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

I was glad to see the poor review because I was wondering if I had missed something. My husband and I chose this show because of all of the great reviews but when we got there, we seriously wondered if we were in the wrong place. We were there on April 24th for a charity show for a woman and... More

“Horrible experience at the "Whose Night out is it Anyway" show.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2013

This place is located in the Mall. That's ok. But the show is held in a room about the size of your typical school classroom. (6-7 rows of chairs spaced way to close for comfort, some padded, some just a folding chair) No tables to relax around and place your beverage. Needless to say the place is on a poverty... More

Thank you so much for your feedback. We apologize for disappointing you. While we cannot change our venue of movable chairs in a 75 seat venue in a mall we can find ways to improve our "whispering" to not be disturbing. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. And since we're comedians math is just not our forte, thus... More

TripAdvisor had suggested this show number one. Since my husband was at Bass Pro he found where the show was located in the mall. We laughed are Canadian butts off. They made good fun of us and our jobs gave them plenty of material to use in their show. This is an inexpensive goodnight out and they have family friendly... More

Thanks for TA, we went to this hidden gem that is located inside a mall (by Bass Pro Shop). I have anyways enjoyed "Who's Line is it Anyway?". It met all my expectations and laughed through the whole 90 min. Plus, it is a bargain. It's family friendly or adult shows on the weekend. A definite must for the comedy... More

“A hidden good time!”

Thanks to the great reviews on TripAdvisor, my group decided to go check out a show at the Carolina Improv. Driving to the show, we did not know what to expect, but we were surprised in a good way. To start, tickets were only $12.50 (online), so about the same price as a movie. We walked into the mall, and... More
